Abstract

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can lead to posttraumatic stress and disruptions in adulthood, highlighting the need for appropriate treatment. This study aimed to examine the effect of Forgiveness Therapy in improving posttraumatic growth (PTG) among young adults with ACEs history. A partially randomized experimental design with pretest, posttest 1, and posttest 2 was implemented. The study included 16 participants who were divided into two groups with eight participants, respectively. Statistical analysis using repeated measures ANOVA indicated interaction between PTG scores with group (F(2) = 19.0, p < 0.01). An independent sample t-test also revealed a significant difference of PTG score between groups, with a large effect size (t(14,0)= 2.38; d= 1.19). In conclusion, Forgiveness Therapy was found to increase PTG by facilitating emotional regulation, cognitive reframing, self-disclosure, and the therapeutic effects of group therapy.

Abstract

The study aimed to test the effectiveness of stress management training in reducing academic distress and increasing self-efficacy. The research used a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. It involved 10 mahasantri or university students who memorized the Quran and experienced a high level of academic stress and low self-efficacy. The stress management training lasted for seven sessions. The research employed the academic stress scale and general self-efficacy scale to collect data from the participants. Data analysis was conducted using an independent sample t-test based on the gain score. The results showed that stress management training was effective in reducing academic distress and increasing self-efficacy, with a relatively large effectiveness value. The results imply that low academic stress and high self-efficacy improve the chance of students completing their education and memorizing the Quran.

Abstract

Tantrums are a common emotional response in children, often occurring when they struggle to regulate their emotions. This study focused on the use of filial therapy in improving emotional regulation and reducing tantrum frequency in a 9-year-old boy. Filial therapy was chosen for its emphasis on parental involvement, strengthening the parent-child bond, and teaching emotional regulation skills. The study was a single subject research design, that began with an initial assessment through interviews, observations, and psychological tests. This was followed by an 11-session filial therapy. The results showed a significant improvement in the participant’s emotional regulation, leading to a reduction in tantrum behavior. The ERQ scores during the pretest were 25 (moderate category), increasing to 47 (high category) in the post-test, and further rising to 55 (high category) in the follow-up assessment. These findings highlight the essential role of parents in supporting their child's emotional development and the use of filial therapy to improve parent-child dynamics and reduce tantrums.

Abstract

Depression and anxiety are strong indicators of difficulties in the process of recentering during emerging adulthood. Although various interventions exist to address these issues, group psychosynthesis offers efficient treatment in developing countries. This case report highlights the experiences of seven university students who participated in Empathic Love Therapy (ELT) group to reduce depression and anxiety, as measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire Anxiety and Depression (PHQ-ADS) scale (d = 1.79; p < .01). The application of psychosynthesis through the Empathic Love Therapy (ELT) module in a group setting demonstrates potential as a cost-effective option for primary healthcare professionals, particularly in addressing the rising number of students at risk of self-harm or suicide.

Abstract

Hambatan berbicara stuttering atau gagap memiliki dampak negatif pada pengalaman emosi, kognitif, perilaku, sosial, dan akademik seorang mahasiswa. Artikel ini merupakan case report intervensi Simplified Habit Reversal Training (SHRT) pada seorang mahasiswa (inisial F, perempuan, usia 20 tahun) yang memiliki kegagapan. Intervensi SHRT mengajarkan respons tandingan, yaitu pengaturan napas, untuk menggantikan perilaku gagap yang telah menjadi kebiasaan. Intervensi dilakukan dalam empat sesi, yang menghasilkan penurunan pada tingkat keparahan kegagapan F. Penurunan ini terlihat dari berkurang frekuensi kemunculan gagap serta skor dampak negatif yang lebih rendah pada skala Overall Assessment of the Speaker’s Experience of Stuttering. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa SHRT dapat menjadi pilihan intervensi keperilakuan yang efektif untuk mengurangi keparahan gagap pada mahasiswa yang belum pernah menerima penanganan sebelumnya. Penelitian lebih lanjut diperlukan untuk mengeksplorasi penerapan SHRT secara lebih luas dalam penanganan gagap.

Abstract

Postpartum women experience both physical and psychological changes. Previous studies have shown that women who delivered via caesarean section tend to have lower levels of Subjective Well-Being (SWB) than those who gave birth vaginally. If left unaddressed, these psychological challenges may lead to anxiety or depression. This study aimed to investigate the impact of Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) training on improving the Subjective Well-Being of postpartum women following caesarean delivery. This research employed a randomized controlled pilot trial (waitlist control) with pretest–posttest assessments and utilized non-parametric analysis (Mann-Whitney U Test). The Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) were used to measure Subjective Well-Being and self-compassion. The results showed a significant increase in Subjective Well-Being among participants in the experimental group after receiving the MSC training. The findings suggest that MSC training is effective in improving the well-being of postpartum women who delivered via caesarean section.

Abstract

Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often experience difficulties in maintaining attention on tasks, display impulsive behaviors, and show signs of hyperactivity. Therefore, interventions are needed to help children manage ADHD symptoms. This study specifically aimed to examine the effectiveness of online behavior modification therapy using the response cost technique in enhancing task initiation in a child with ADHD. The study employed a single-case design. The participant was a 10-year-old child (n=1) who exhibited ADHD symptoms, including difficulties sustaining attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Assessments were conducted through observation, interviews, and psychological testing. ADHD symptoms were measured using the Indonesian Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale (IARS). The intervention lasted for 5 weeks. Baseline psychological conditions were assessed to guide the intervention plan. Following the intervention, several improvements were observed, including a reduction in IARS scores (from 69 to 61), increased initiative in task completions, greater attentiveness during conversations, and a decrease in impulsive behaviors. However, as this study used a single-case design, the findings cannot be generalized, and further research is needed to better understand the effectiveness of this intervention for other children with ADHD. This study may serve as a reference for mental health professionals in managing ADHD cases in children.

Abstract

Anxiety symptoms in childhood are common and can adversely affect developmental and adaptive functioning. This single-case study evaluated outcomes of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for a 6-year-old girl (“S”) who presented with excessive anxiety and pronounced distress when separating from her caregiver at school drop-off. Pre-intervention assessment comprised interviews with the child and her parents and direct observation to identify the child’s anxiety manifestations. Post-intervention interviews and observations indicated the absence of previously reported symptoms—persistent worry, fear, and difficulty separating from the caregiver—across school and non-school contexts. The article offers practice-oriented recommendations for clinicians implementing similar interventions and proposes follow-up steps to support optimal social adaptation.
