Efektivitas Layanan Bimbingan Kelompok Teknik Problem Solving Dalam Mencegah Perilaku PMO (Porn, Masturbation, And Orgasm) pada Mahasiswa BKPI UINSU

Abstract

Students raised by strict parents tend to experience difficulties in forming friendships, lack self confidence, feel unaccepted in their environment, and experience psychological discomfort and other challenges that affect their academic performance. These issues stem from a rigid and demanding parenting style that fosters irrational thoughts and emotional pressure, making it difficult for them to adapt to the campus environment. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of group counseling using the cognitive restructuring technique in improving the adjustment ability of students with strict parents. The study employed a quasi-experimental method with a non equivalent control group design. The participants consisted of 14 first year students from the Islamic Guidance and Counseling Program at UINSU, selected based on the following criteria, students raised by strict parents and students with low adjustment ability. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The results showed a significant improvement in adjustment ability among students in the experimental group who received group counseling with the cognitive restructuring technique 0.018 , while no significant change was found in the control group  0.236 . Thus, group counseling with the cognitive restructuring technique was proven to be effective in enhancing the adjustment ability of students raised by strict parents.
