Abstract

Good communication between husband and wife is an important factor in maintaining household harmony. However, there are still many couples who experience difficulties in communicating so that misunderstandings often occur that can cause conflicts. This family guidance program is designed to assist PKK RT 1/RW 1 Kenteng Village women in improving their communication skills with their partners. This activity is designed in the form of interactive materials that contain effective communication techniques, such as listening attentively, controlling emotions, and expressing opinions properly and correctly. The results of the evaluation showed that there was an increase in participants' understanding in communicating with their partners. The results of the evaluation showed an increase in participants' understanding of communicating with their partners. Based on pretest and post-test data from 11 participants, there was an increase in the average score of effective communication comprehension from 38.36 in the pretest to 52.55 in the post-test. This shows an average increase of 14.18 points, or equivalent to a percentage increase of 35.68%. This program helps participants in reducing misunderstandings, increasing openness in communication, and creating more harmonious domestic relationships.

Review

This paper presents a relevant and timely intervention aimed at enhancing husband-wife communication skills among PKK mothers in a specific Indonesian community. The initiative addresses a critical factor for household harmony, recognizing that poor communication can lead to misunderstandings and conflict. The program's design, focusing on interactive materials covering essential techniques like active listening, emotion control, and clear expression, demonstrates a practical and targeted approach to a pervasive social issue. The abstract clearly articulates the problem and the proposed solution, making a compelling case for the necessity of such community-based guidance. The core of the study's findings, as presented, indicates a positive outcome in participants' understanding of effective communication. The pre-test and post-test data from 11 participants show a notable average increase of 14.18 points (a 35.68% improvement) in comprehension scores. This quantitative evidence supports the program's immediate efficacy in knowledge transfer. The abstract suggests that this improved understanding contributes to reduced misunderstandings, increased openness, and more harmonious domestic relationships, which are significant practical implications for the participants' lives. While the reported improvements in understanding are encouraging, the abstract could benefit from more detail regarding the methodology. For instance, clarifying the nature of the "understanding" measurement (e.g., a knowledge test, self-assessment) and the duration of the intervention would strengthen the findings. Furthermore, the relatively small sample size (n=11) limits the generalizability of the results, though it is valuable for a localized community program. Future research could explore the actual behavioral changes in communication patterns and the long-term impact on marital harmony through qualitative methods or follow-up studies, providing a more comprehensive picture of the program's success beyond immediate comprehension.
