Abstract

Purpose – This study examines the impact of educators’ perceptions on the effectiveness of the Guidance and Counselling (G&C) programme in Hwange Urban secondary schools. The objectives were to explore teachers’ attitudes toward G&C, determine how their perceptions influence programme implementation, and identify factors that facilitate or hinder successful delivery. Method – A qualitative research design was adopted, using semi-structured interviews and document analysis to collect in-depth data. The sample consisted of 20 participants, selected purposively: 12 teachers, 4 school counsellors, and 4 school administrators. Result – Findings revealed that while educators generally acknowledge the importance of G&C in promoting learners’ academic, social, and emotional well-being, inconsistent understanding of the programme, limited training, heavy workloads, and inadequate resources significantly impede effective implementation. Positive perceptions were associated with greater commitment, wider integration of G&C activities, and stronger support for learners. Implication – The study highlights the need for targeted professional development, institutional support, and policy reinforcement to enhance educators’ confidence and participation in G&C. Originality/Value – The originality of this article lies in its contextualised exploration of educators’ perceptions within a Zimbabwean urban setting, offering insights that can inform programme strengthening, policy formulation, and future research on school-based counselling services. *** Tujuan – Studi ini mengkaji dampak persepsi pendidik terhadap efektivitas program Bimbingan dan Konseling (B&K) di sekolah menengah perkotaan Hwange. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengeksplorasi sikap guru terhadap B&K, menentukan bagaimana persepsi mereka memengaruhi implementasi program, serta mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang memfasilitasi atau menghambat pelaksanaan program yang sukses. Metode – Desain penelitian kualitatif digunakan, dengan wawancara semi-terstruktur dan analisis dokumen untuk mengumpulkan data mendalam. Sampel terdiri dari 20 peserta yang dipilih secara purposif: 12 guru, 4 konselor sekolah, dan 4 administrator sekolah. Hasil – Temuan menunjukkan bahwa meskipun pendidik umumnya mengakui pentingnya G&C dalam mempromosikan kesejahteraan akademik, sosial, dan emosional siswa, pemahaman yang tidak konsisten tentang program, pelatihan yang terbatas, beban kerja yang berat, dan sumber daya yang tidak memadai secara signifikan menghambat implementasi yang efektif. Persepsi positif terkait dengan komitmen yang lebih besar, integrasi yang lebih luas dari aktivitas G&C, dan dukungan yang lebih kuat bagi siswa. Implikasi – Studi ini menyoroti kebutuhan akan pengembangan profesional yang ditargetkan, dukungan institusional, dan penguatan kebijakan untuk meningkatkan kepercayaan diri dan partisipasi pendidik dalam G&C. Orisinalitas/Nilai – Keaslian artikel ini terletak pada eksplorasi kontekstual persepsi pendidik dalam lingkungan perkotaan Zimbabwe, yang menawarkan wawasan untuk memperkuat program, merumuskan kebijakan, dan penelitian masa depan tentang layanan konseling berbasis sekolah.

Abstract

Purpose – This study investigated the unexpected shift in marital relationships: stress and coping strategies among single mothers in Nigeria. This category of people has been neglected in the background in the scheme of events in Nigeria, and it is alarming that this neglect affects the mental health of single mothers. Method – This qualitative research adopted an interpretive research paradigm. Data were gathered from fifteen (15) single mothers using semi-structured interviews between November 2024 and February 2025. Collected data was deductively analysed based on recurring themes relating to stress and coping strategies of single mothers who were once in a marital relationship. Result – The study found that financial constraints, stigmatization, disinheritance, and assault were the major stressors confronting the well-being of single mothers in Nigeria. In a bid to cope with the breasting adversities negatively affecting single mothers, this study found the exploration of formal and informal support networks, faith-based religious support, remarriage, and seeking therapeutic intervention as coping mechanisms employed by single mothers. Implication – The government, psychologists/therapists, and relevant stakeholders raise awareness of the availability of counselling services that can assist single mothers in overcoming unexpected challenges. Originality/Value – This study considers single mothers living in remote areas, unemployed, on low incomes, and engaged in menial work. By addressing this knowledge gap, professional counsellors, scholars, religious groups, government support groups, Non-governmental organisations, tiers of government, single mothers, and policymakers will greatly benefit from this study. *** Tujuan – Studi ini menyelidiki pergeseran tak terduga dalam hubungan pernikahan: stres dan strategi penanggulangan di kalangan ibu tunggal di Nigeria. Kelompok masyarakat ini telah diabaikan dalam skema peristiwa di Nigeria, dan mengkhawatirkan bahwa pengabaian ini berdampak pada kesehatan mental ibu tunggal. Metode – Penelitian kualitatif ini mengadopsi paradigma penelitian interpretatif. Data dikumpulkan dari lima belas (15) ibu tunggal melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur antara November 2024 dan Februari 2025. Data yang dikumpulkan dianalisis secara deduktif berdasarkan tema-tema yang berulang terkait stres dan strategi koping ibu tunggal yang pernah berada dalam hubungan pernikahan. Hasil – Studi ini menemukan bahwa kendala finansial, stigmatisasi, pengucilan warisan, dan kekerasan merupakan faktor stres utama yang mengancam kesejahteraan ibu tunggal di Nigeria. Dalam upaya mengatasi kesulitan yang berdampak negatif pada ibu tunggal, studi ini menemukan bahwa eksplorasi jaringan dukungan formal dan informal, dukungan keagamaan berbasis keyakinan, pernikahan kembali, dan mencari intervensi terapeutik merupakan mekanisme koping yang digunakan oleh ibu tunggal. Implikasi – Pemerintah, psikolog/terapis, dan pemangku kepentingan terkait perlu meningkatkan kesadaran tentang ketersediaan layanan konseling yang dapat membantu ibu tunggal mengatasi tantangan tak terduga. Orisinalitas/Nilai – Studi ini mempertimbangkan ibu tunggal yang tinggal di daerah terpencil, pengangguran, berpenghasilan rendah, dan bekerja di bidang pekerjaan kasar. Dengan mengatasi kesenjangan pengetahuan ini, konselor profesional, akademisi, kelompok agama, kelompok dukungan pemerintah, organisasi non-pemerintah, tingkatan pemerintah, ibu tunggal, dan pembuat kebijakan akan sangat diuntungkan dari studi ini.
