Decreasing Stress Levels in The Elderly: A Counseling Program Based on Islamic Psychotherapy Approach

Rindha Widyaningsih, Fitria Ardita

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of counseling interventions utilizing a supportive Islamic psychotherapy approach to reduce stress levels among elderly individuals. The subjects of this research were elderly residents of the Elderly Social Service Unit (PPSLU) "Sudagaran," Banyumas. A pre-experimental method employing a one-group pre-test and post-test design was implemented. The group counseling intervention based on supportive Islamic psychotherapy was conducted over six sessions. Stress levels were assessed using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), an Indonesian version modified specifically for the purpose of this study. Data analysis was performed using SPSS statistical software. Results indicated a significant reduction in stress levels among the elderly participants, declining from moderate stress levels pre-intervention to normal levels post-intervention. The findings demonstrate that counseling based on supportive Islamic psychotherapy is an effective approach for managing stress among elderly populations. Further studies employing experimental designs with control groups are recommended to enhance the generalizability of these findings.
