Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique as An Islamic Counseling Approach in Reducing Depression in Elderly Women
Abstract
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the implementation of SEFT as an Islamic-based traumatic counseling therapy in reducing depression in elderly women, and how these elderly women are a vulnerable group to depression. This study used an experimental method with a Single-Subject Research (SSR) with an ABA design that aims to determine the use of SEFT therapy to treat depression in the elderly. The measurement of depression levels was carried out with Geriatric Depression Scale, scale of 0 to 15. The population of this study was 14 elderly patients in the RPSBM of Pekalongan. The sampling was done by purposive sampling, through various considerations, taking a sample of the elderly who are physically healthy, and not senile, with a total sample of 5 elderly women. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon test. The results of this study show that the majority of the elderly in RPSBM experience depression due to unpleasant experiences. The treatment carried out through Traumatic Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) significantly effective in reducing depression in elderly women, seen from the Wilcoxon statistical test that the probability value is below 0.05, namely 0.0195 <0.05. The reduction in depression in the elderly ranged from 40% to 56%. Some indications of a decrease in the level of depression in the elderly can be seen from physical and psychological changes. The success of the SEFT technique lies in its strength in strengthening the elderly to be sure, sincere, and grateful for all existing life.
