Mapping Strength-Based Counseling Models And Interventions For Student Mental Health

Agnes Mariana Mayangsari — 2025-10-09

Mental health issues among adolescents, particularly students, are increasingly complex and widespread, ranging from academic stress, low self-esteem, and social anxiety to more severe conditions such as depression, eating disorders, and suicidal ideation. Although these challenges have been well-documented globally, many school-based interventions are still based on problem-oriented, rather than potential-focused counseling models. Strengths-Based Counseling (SBC) offers a paradigm shift by emphasizing students' internal strengths, resilience, cultural identity, and capacity for growth. Rooted in positive psychology and humanistic principles, SBC aims to empower students as active agents in their healing and development. However, its implementation in educational contexts remains fragmented and under-researched. This article seeks to map and critically analyze existing strengths-based counseling models and interventions to support student mental health and to advocate for a more holistic, proactive, and empowering approach to school counseling practice. This study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) design, drawing on four databases: Springer Link, Sage Journals, Science Direct, and Taylor & Francis. Specifically, inclusion and exclusion criteria were determined in this SLR to produce quality findings to answer the research question, which was to determine which strengths-based counseling models and interventions can be applied to support the mental health of students and adolescents. After a comprehensive study selection process, fifteen articles were identified as eligible for use in this study. The research findings indicate several effective strengths-based counseling models and interventions that can support students' mental health and holistic psychological well-being.

The Effectiveness of Career Guidance Program to Improve Entrepreneurial Skill for Adolescents : a Systematic Literature Review

Aisyah Azzahro — 2025-10-09

Career guidance programs are considered as one of the important strategies to improve entrepreneurial skills in adolescents, especially in preparing them to face the challenges of an increasingly competitive world of work. This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) aims to analyze the effectiveness of career guidance programs in developing adolescent entrepreneurship skills based on empirical studies from published journals between 2020 and 2025. The research method followed the PRISMA protocol with a literature search in Scopus, ScienceDirect, ERIC, and Google Scholar databases using keywords such as “career guidance”, “entrepreneurial skills,” and “youth entrepreneurship.” Of the 5000 articles identified, 21 journals met the inclusion criteria, such as empirical studies, youth focus, and publication within the specified time frame. The results of the analysis show that structured and practice-based career guidance programs, such as entrepreneurship training, mentoring, and business simulation, significantly improve adolescents' entrepreneurial cognitive and behavioral skills, including creativity, risk management, and business planning capabilities. Supporting factors such as collaboration with industry players, project-based curriculum, and experiential learning approach also contributed to the success of the program. However, challenges such as limited resources, lack of training for counseling teachers, and gaps between theory and practice are still found in some studies.This SLR confirms that career guidance programs are effective in fostering adolescent entrepreneurial spirit, provided they are designed comprehensively and involve various stakeholders. Recommendations for future research include exploring the long-term impact of the program as well as adapting the web 3.0 based career guidance model to increase accessibility and participant engagement.

The Influence of Hardiness on Digital Well-Being in Adolescents: A Literature Review

Alvia Ainil Lathifah — 2025-10-09

Adolescents today live in a highly digitalized environment that offers opportunities and challenges. While digital technology provides access to information, learning, and communication, unwise use can lead to stress, anxiety, and emotional distress. Therefore, managing technology use in a balanced and mindful way has become a crucial aspect of adolescent life. This ability is called digital well-being, in which individuals engage with technology in a healthy, conscious, and purposeful manner that supports their mental, emotional, and social health. To maintain and enhance digital well-being, adolescents require internal personal resources to help them adapt to and cope with digital stressors. One such resource is hardiness, which enables adolescents to stay engaged, believe in their ability to influence outcomes, and view difficulties as opportunities for growth. This research aims to understand the influence of hardiness on adolescents’ digital well-being. This study uses a literature review approach, systematically collecting, reading, and analyzing various sources, including books, peer-reviewed journal articles, dissertations, e-books, and relevant case studies. The results of this research present a comprehensive overview of the relationship between these two constructs, which includes: 1) the “digital well-being” of adolescents, 2) the “hardiness” of adolescents, and 3) the contribution of hardiness to fostering and sustaining digital well-being among adolescents.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Online Single-Session SFBC in Reducing Academic Stress and Its Implications for School Psychoeducation

Andri Oktavianas — 2025-10-09

Academic stress is a widespread concern among junior high school students, heightened by increasingly rigorous academic demands and the growing prevalence of technology-mediated learning. Without effective coping strategies, sustained stress can impair academic performance, diminish motivation, and affect psychological well-being. This study examined the effectiveness of Single-Session Therapy grounded in Solution-Focused Brief Counseling (SST-SFBC) delivered online as a practical intervention to reduce academic stress, and explored its psychoeducational relevance for schools. Using a qualitative case study design, five students participated in one structured online counseling session via a secure video conferencing platform. Data sources included verbatim session transcripts, counselor notes, and student reflections. Thematic analysis identified the application of core SFBC techniques—miracle question, scaling, and future talk—and tracked shifts in students’ perceptions and emotional responses to academic challenges. Results showed a marked decrease in academic stress scores in the experimental group (mean 120.8 to 101.6), while the control group’s scores increased (128.6 to 131.8). Qualitative narratives reflected greater self-efficacy, improved problem-solving focus, and adoption of adaptive coping strategies rooted in personal strengths. From a psychoeducational perspective, online SST-SFBC functioned both as an efficient short-term intervention and as an empowering tool for fostering resilience and self-directed problem-solving. These findings suggest that SST-SFBC can serve as a scalable, flexible, and resource-efficient counseling approach, particularly valuable where access to extended counseling services is limited.

Determinants of Adolescent Psychological Well-being: A Literature Review

Aulia Rizky Ramadhani — 2025-10-09

Adolescence is a period of development that is full of challenges, both emotionally, socially, and psychologically. During this period, various significant changes occur that influence the psychological and social development of adolescents. Psychological well-being is one of the important aspects that needs to be developed so that adolescents are able to face various developmental challenges. This study aims to identify and analyze various factors influencing adolescents' psychological well-being. The study employs a literature review method, examining relevant scientific journals from the years 2022 to 2025. The literature review found that the factors determining psychological well-being are categorized into intrapersonal and interpersonal factors. Intrapersonal factors include aspects originating from the adolescents themselves, such as emotional intelligence, religiosity, mindfulness, self-efficacy, and achievement motivation. Meanwhile, external factors are those originating from outside the adolescent, such as social support and parental attachment. These findings are expected to provide important implications for schools, particularly guidance and counseling teachers, in the development and implementation of guidance and counseling interventions that consider the factors influencing adolescents' psychological well-being.

The Role of Self-Regulated Learning as an Adaptive Strategy in Improving Academic Resilience of Final Year Students: A Literature Review

Elsa Inayatul Amalia — 2025-10-09

Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) is one of the adaptive learning strategies that students can use to manage their learning process independently through several methods, namely planning, monitoring, and self-evaluation. This approach is particularly important for senior students facing complex academic pressures, such as completing theses, final projects, and preparing for entry into the workforce. These pressures often lead to a decline in learning motivation and can increase the risk of academic stress. Therefore, a strategy is needed to improve academic resilience, namely the ability to persevere, adapt, and recover from academic difficulties. This study aims to examine the role of self-regulated learning as an adaptive strategy in 777⁷7⁷q the academic resilience of final-year students through a literature review. Data sources were obtained from several articles indexed in Scopus, Sinta, and DOAJ, with criteria of publications within the last five years and relevance to the topics of self-regulated learning and academic resilience. The results of the review indicate that self-regulated learning has a positive and significant relationship with academic resilience through improvements in self-efficacy, time management, and stress control. Several previous studies have also identified self-regulated learning as a mediator or bridge between academic resilience and learning achievement, as well as one of the main factors contributing to time delay. These findings reinforce the notion that self-regulated learning in higher education can be an important strategy for supporting the academic success and mental health of final-year students.

Nurul Latifatun Nisa — 2025-10-09

The transition to college is a critical period that requires new students to be able to adjust emotionally and psychologically to the new academic environment. This study aims to examine the role of self-efficacy on the ability to regulate emotions and psychological adaptation of new students in facing initial challenges in college. Self-efficacy, as an individual's belief in his or her ability to manage academic and social demands, plays an important role in developing adaptive emotional regulation strategies and also increasing the capacity for mental adaptation. A systematic review of a number of literature shows that students with high levels of self-efficacy tend to have better emotional control, are able to deal with stress more positively, and also show more stable psychological resilience during the transition period. These findings reinforce that strengthening self-efficacy is a strategic approach in psychological interventions and orientation programs in higher education to support the mental well-being of new students. This study also recommends the development of strength-based guidance and counseling services to facilitate the formation of self-efficacy from the beginning of the study period.

Psychoeducation Based on Malay Culture Using Gurindam Dua Belas to Improve Students’ Self-Regulation

Rizki Amalia — 2025-10-09

The decrease in students' self-regulation abilities can affect poor control over emotions, behaviors, and academic achievement. Efforts for adaptive and contextual intervention are essential to create effective self-regulation. This research aims to explore the possibilities of psychoeducation rooted in Malay culture as a strategic method for enhancing student self-regulation. The research method uses a literature review of several relevant sources.

Consequently, psychoeducation rooted in local culture enhances psychological intervention methods and reinforces students' awareness of their identity and values. This research suggests creating culture-focused on psychoeducational modules as an innovative approach to enhance guidance and counseling services in higher education.

The Relationship Between Peer Social Interaction and Self Control on the Discipline of 11th Grade Students at Senior High School 6 Kediri

Rozy Bintang Ambar Pratiwi — 2025-10-09

This research is motivated by the importance of discipline as an indicator of educational success. However, field observations show that many students still do not exhibit disciplined behavior. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a relationship between peer social interaction and self-control with the discipline of 11th Grade students at High School 6 Kediri. This research employed a quantitative approach using a correlational method and multiple correlation analysis techniques. The sample consisted of 40 students from a population of 395, selected using cluster random sampling. The instruments used were three psychological scales: the peer social interaction scale (57 items), self-control scale (24 items), and student discipline scale (36 items), with reliability scores of 0.974, 0.982, and 0.985 respectively. Hypothesis testing results showed no significant relationship between peer social interaction and self-control with discipline, as evidenced by the significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.642 (> 0.05). These findings suggest that student discipline is more influenced by external factors such as teacher supervision and school regulations rather than peer interaction and self-control. Therefore, schools need to strengthen consistent discipline systems and foster a culture of discipline through group guidance, habituation, and character building. Further research is recommended to explore other factors such as family influence, teacher leadership styles, and school climate on student discipline.

The Implementation of Strengths-Based Counseling to Enhance Self-Confidence and Mental Health among Senior High School Students : A Systematic Literature Review

Shinta Ayu Listiani — 2025-10-09

This study explores the effectiveness of implementing Strengths-Based Counseling (SBC) as a school-based intervention to enhance self-confidence and mental health in high school students. Adolescents often face various academic and social pressures that may negatively impact their psychological well-being and belief in their own abilities. In response to these challenges, SBC offers a positive, solution-oriented counseling approach that focuses on identifying and developing individual strengths, personal resources, and resilience rather than emphasizing problems or deficits. Pre- and post-tests were administered to both the experimental and control groups as part of the study's quasi-experimental methodology. Students with moderate to low levels of self-confidence and mental health as determined by standardized psychological tests were chosen to participate. The intervention was delivered in the form of structured group counseling sessions, conducted once a week over the course of one month. Each session focused on key elements of SBC, including strength identification, goal setting, future visualization, and the use of empowering language. Two psychological measures, one tailored to adolescents and the other to general populations, were used to gather data: a self-confidence scale and a mental health inventory. Experimental group participants showed statistically significant gains in self-confidence and mental health ratings when compared to control group participants, according to quantitative analysis utilizing paired-sample and independent-sample t-tests. In addition, qualitative observations during the counseling sessions indicated increased student participation, optimism, and interpersonal support among peers. The findings suggest that Strengths-Based Counseling can be a powerful and practical method for school counselors and educators to support students’ emotional and psychological development. By helping students focus on their abilities and what works in their lives, SBC can foster a more positive self-concept, better coping strategies, and a healthier school climate overall.

Siti Aisyah — 2025-10-09

Career readiness for senior high school students is crucial because it helps them move smoothly into university or the job market. Schools are trying harder to help students plan their careers, and one way they're doing this is by using media in career guidance. This study looks at existing research on the use of media in career guidance in senior high schools and how effective it is in making students more career-ready. The study uses a systematic method to collect and review research published between 2015 and 2025. The work was done carefully using a straightforward approach, and the data came from scientific articles found in databases like Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, ERIC, and national journals that are officially recognized. To find the right articles, a mix of keywords in both Indonesian and English was used, including terms like "media bimbingan karier", "career guidance media", "career readiness in senior high school", and "career counseling". Boolean operators "AND" and "OR" were used to make sure the search was accurate and relevant. The findings show that different types of media, such as websites, apps, videos, interactive platforms, and social media, are useful for providing career information, helping students understand themselves better, and making decisions about their future. These media tools also make career guidance more engaging, easier to access, and tailored to individual needs. The study concludes that using media in career guidance in senior high schools can greatly help students learn more about possible career paths and feel better prepared for their future jobs.

Strength-Based Counseling Interventions to Enhance Adolescents' Self-Esteem and Psychological Well-Being

Syahva Ersa Aulia — 2025-10-09

Adolescence is a critical developmental stage often marked by identity exploration, emotional instability, and heightened sensitivity to social evaluation. These challenges can significantly affect adolescents’ self-esteem and psychological well-being, especially in the context of academic demands, peer pressure, and family-related stress. Self-esteem serves as a vital foundation for positive psychological development, while psychological well-being encompassing self-acceptance, personal growth, purpose in life, and positive relationships is essential for overall mental health. In response to the limitations of deficit-focused counseling approaches, strength-based counseling (SBC) has emerged as a promising alternative that focuses on individual strengths, values, and potentials. Rooted in positive psychology, SBC aims to empower adolescents by fostering resilience, self-efficacy, and a more positive self-concept. This literature review aims to examine the effectiveness of strength-based counseling interventions in enhancing self-esteem and psychological well-being among adolescents. Through a systematic review of peer-reviewed studies published between 2010 and 2025, this study identifies key strategies, outcomes, and theoretical contributions of SBC interventions in adolescent populations. The findings suggest that SBC contributes to increased self-confidence, emotional regulation, and motivation in adolescents, and can be effectively implemented in school and community-based settings. This review also highlights practical implications for counselors and educators, advocating for a shift toward more empowering, affirming, and developmentally appropriate approaches in adolescent mental health support.

Self-Regulation as a Strength for Adolescents in Coping with Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) in Social Media Use: A Literature Review

Syarah Chelmidar — 2025-10-09

The rapid advancement of information and communication technology has significantly changed social interactions, with social media becoming a powerful and multifunctional platform. One common effect of this change is Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), a feeling of anxiety caused by the fear of missing information or experiences that others enjoy online. Teenagers are particularly vulnerable to FoMO, which can negatively impact their emotions, behavior, academic performance, and daily life. This study aims to examine how self-regulation influences FoMO in teenagers who use social media. Self-regulation refers to a person’s ability to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to reach personal goals. It is believed that better self-regulation can reduce FoMO. The method used in this research is a literature review, which includes summaries and analysis of relevant articles, books, and documents. The findings suggest that higher self-regulation is linked to lower levels of FoMO. Teenagers who can control their emotions and behaviors are more likely to manage their social media use wisely and avoid excessive fear of missing out. On the other hand, poor self-regulation often leads to excessive social media use and higher FoMO. This study aims to determine the importance of developing self-regulation skills as a strategy to reduce FoMO and improve the psychological well-being of adolescents in the digital age.

This study aims to examine how the principles of Silih Asah, Silih Asih, Silih Asuh can be adapted into counseling approach for people with disabilities. This research uses a qualitative method in the form of a literature study by analyzing existing sources such as journals, scientific articles, and other relevant literature.

CAREER ADAPTABILITY OF GENERATION Z MUSLIM

Yessika Nurmasari — 2025-10-09

VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity) career challenges; adaptation of workers and robots in the era of society 5.0; increasing educated unemployment and mass layoffs are major challenges for Generation Z in planning their careers. Career adaptability is the ability to predict and prepare for various changes that may occur. This study aims to describe the career adaptability of Muslim graduates of Generation Z of UIN Sunan Gunung Djati. This descriptive survay quantitative study was conducted by distributing the Career Adaptability Scale–Short Form (CAAS-SF) Career Adaptability instrument (Maggiori et al., 2017) to 446 graduates. The career adaptability of Muslim graduates of Generation Z is in the moderate category. Graduates with a moderate level of career adaptability show sufficient interest in future career development, although preparation and awareness of educational choices are not always consistent; tend to make their own decisions and take responsibility for their actions, have a moderate curiosity to explore opportunities, and are quite confident in overcoming obstacles, although sometimes they still depend on the help of others and require more effort in developing new skills. There is no significant difference between male and female prospective graduates. From an Islamic perspective, after possessing the desire for change and enthusiasm (hamasah), Generation Z graduates also need to apply the principle of tawakkal (religious commitment) in their career development process.
