Abstract

This research proceeds from the problems of loneliness experienced by most adolescent victims of bullying. Mindfulness is recommended as an effective way to alleviate the problem, but some school counselors have not integrated mindfulness in guidance and counseling services. Therefore, this study aimed to test the effectiveness of mindfulness-based group counseling services to reduce loneliness in adolescent victims of bullying. This quantitative research uses a quasi-experimental type with a non-equivalent control group design. The research location was at State High School 11 and 9 Yogyakarta-Indonesia, involving 20 students aged 15-18 years who were selected with purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected using the UCLA Loneliness Scale version 3 with Cronbach alpha reliability 0.906. The scale has been tested for content validity by expert judgment. Data were analyzed using the statistical Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test and the Mann Whitney test. The research results showed that there was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results in the experimental group. Significant differences were also seen in the comparison of the experimental and control groups. This means that mindfulness-based group counseling services are effective in reducing loneliness in adolescent victims of bullying. School counselors should consider integrating mindfulness-based group counseling into their programs, especially for students who have experienced bullying. These services can help students develop skills to reduce feelings of loneliness by fostering relationships with peers who have similar experiences.

Abstract

Marriage readiness is a critical factor in ensuring long-term relationship satisfaction and resilience. In Indonesia, challenges such as rising cases of domestic violence and marital instability highlight the urgent need for more effective premarital counseling programs. However, existing interventions often lack cultural sensitivity, particularly in multicultural societies like Indonesia, which encompasses over 300 ethnic groups. This study examines the effectiveness of a culturally-informed premarital counseling program based on Banjar marital customs in enhancing marital readiness. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted with 32 engaged individuals divided into an experimental group receiving Banjar-based counseling and a control group participating in the government’s standard premarital counseling. The marriage readiness scale was used to measure psychological preparedness across domains such as communication, financial management, parenting, and lifestyle adjustments. Statistical analysis using the Mann-Whitney U test revealed significant improvements in the experimental group (U = 16.000, Z = -5.899, p < 0.001) compared to the control group. The findings underscore the importance of integrating local cultural values into premarital counseling to enhance mental readiness for marriage. By fostering deeper connections to cultural traditions, the intervention promoted mutual respect, emotional maturity, and role preparedness among participants. This study contributes to the growing discourse on culturally-informed psychosocial interventions and offers a scalable model for multicultural societies across Asia and beyond.

Abstract

The pervasive use of social media has led to a growing concern regarding social media-induced anxiety among university students. This study aims to integrate Islamic-based Behavioral Activation with the concept of Tazkiyatun Nafs, defined as the purification of the soul or self-purification, as proposed by Buya Hamka, to reduce this anxiety among university students. The method employed is a Single-Subject Experimental Design involving three participants from IAIN Kerinci, all of whom exhibited the highest scores of social media anxiety. Data were collected using the Social Media Anxiety Scale (SMAS) and analyzed through visual data analysis. The results indicate that all three respondents showed a significant decrease in social media anxiety levels from the beginning to the end of the observation period. Specifically, visual analysis revealed a substantial reduction in SMAS scores, with participants' anxiety levels consistently dropping from high initial scores to significantly lower post-intervention scores. The intervention phase appeared to have a substantial positive impact, and the reduction in anxiety continued into the follow-up phase, albeit at varying levels. These findings suggest that the Islamic-based Behavioral Activation intervention, grounded in the Tazkiyatun Nafs concept, is effective in alleviating anxiety caused by social media use among students. The significant decrease in anxiety scores during both the intervention and follow-up phases confirms that the observed changes are not merely the result of natural fluctuations but rather the outcome of the implemented intervention. This research contributes important insights into the development of psychological intervention strategies based on Islamic values to address anxiety issues in the digital age, offering a valuable approach for practitioners and a foundation for future research on culturally sensitive mental health interventions.

Abstract

Schizophrenia is typified by a wide range of symptoms, such as delusions, hallucinations, cognitive decline, and social disengagement. Even with improvements in pharmaceutical and psychosocial therapy, many people with schizophrenia still require supplementary treatment methods due to their chronic symptoms and functional limitations. Utilizing music's therapeutic capacity to address a variety of symptoms and enhance general well-being, music therapy has emerged as a possible supplementary intervention for schizophrenia. In this study, the author used a literature review with a Critically Appraised Topic (CAT); this research is a summary of the best available evidence regarding the focused aims. This CAT looks at the theoretical underpinnings, empirical data, and therapeutic applications of music therapy for people with schizophrenia. The usefulness of music therapy interventions in regulating attention, affective processing, and social cognition in people with schizophrenia is further supported by psychological and neurological theories. Historical summaries show the major turning points and advancements in the field as they follow the development of music therapy methods and approaches. Following music therapy interventions, there is empirical evidence of decreased positive and negative symptoms, improved psychosocial functioning, and improved quality of life outcomes. The implications for clinical practice also highlight how crucial it is to incorporate evidence-based music therapy interventions into all-encompassing treatment programs for schizophrenia, with a focus on individualized methods, interdisciplinary teamwork, and ongoing professional development. The present research evaluation underscores the diverse advantages of music therapy and its capacity to augment comprehensive treatment and welfare for individuals with schizophrenia.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of role-playing-based counseling services in enhancing empathy among children at Juvenile Rehabilitation Center Class I Martapura. Employing a quantitative approach, the research utilized a one-group pre-test post-test experimental design to measure changes in empathy levels before and after the intervention. A total of 32 children participated in the study. Data were collected using two instruments: the Empathy Scale and the Role-Playing Engagement Questionnaire. The intervention consisted of structured role-playing sessions designed to improve both cognitive and affective components of empathy. Data analysis using paired sample t-tests revealed a statistically significant increase in empathy scores, with the mean score rising from 151.53 to 157.34 (p < 0.05). These results suggest that role-playing shows promise as an effective method for enhancing empathy in juvenile rehabilitation settings. The findings underscore the potential of integrating experiential learning strategies into psychosocial interventions for institutionalized youth. Further research is recommended to examine contextual and individual factors that may influence the impact of such interventions.
