IMPLEMENTATION OF PSYCHOEDUCATION TO PREVENT YOUTH SUICIDAL BEHAVIOUR IN RURAL AREA AT GMIT MIZPA BONEN BAUMATA VILLAGE NTT
Abstract
Suicidal behaviour is one of the most common deaths that are most often committed by young people. This behaviour occurs due to the unbearable psychological stress experienced by the individual. Many rural young people choose to commit suicide because they do not find the right solution to their problems. Hence, various actions to end themselves emerge. This psychoeducation was conducted at GMIT (Gereja Masehi Injil di Timur) Mizpa Bonen, Baumata Village. 20 education participants who are young people in Baumata Village are willing to participate in psychoeducation activities. The material provided was an understanding of the definition of suicidal behaviour, the causes of suicidal behaviour, characteristics of People with Suicidal Tendencies (OKBD), preventing suicidal behaviour and psychological first aid. Based on the pre-test and post-test results, there was a significant change in the participants' knowledge as shown through the mean value from 71.5 to 94.0.References
