Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve students’ understanding of mental health through psychoeducational interventions. The participants were eleventh-grade students of SMA Al-Islam 1 Surakarta. The method employed was a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest group design. The intervention was conducted through interactive mental health counseling supported by posters as visual media. The pre-test results showed an average score of 83.16, while the post-test average increased to 94.71. Thus, there was an improvement of 11.55 points after the intervention. These findings indicate that psychoeducation is effective in enhancing students’ understanding of stress factors, stress management strategies, and the importance of maintaining mental health in daily life.

Review

This community service report addresses a highly relevant and critical issue: mental health psychoeducation among adolescents. The initiative's goal to enhance understanding of mental health among eleventh-grade students at SMA Al-Islam 1 Surakarta is commendable and directly aligns with the growing need for mental well-being support in educational settings. The report clearly outlines a practical intervention aimed at equipping students with knowledge about stress factors, management strategies, and the overall importance of maintaining mental health, underscoring the proactive nature of this community engagement. The study employed a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design, which is an appropriate methodology for evaluating the immediate impact of an intervention in a community service context. The intervention, consisting of interactive mental health counseling supported by visual media like posters, appears well-designed to engage the target audience. The quantitative results are encouraging, demonstrating a significant improvement in students' average understanding scores from 83.16 to 94.71, representing an 11.55-point increase. These findings strongly suggest that the psychoeducational intervention was effective in enhancing the participants' immediate comprehension of mental health concepts. While the abstract provides a compelling overview of a successful community service endeavor, a more detailed full paper would benefit from elaborating on several aspects. Specifically, the abstract does not mention the inclusion of a control group, which would strengthen the causal inference of the quasi-experimental design. Further, details on the specific content and duration of the interactive counseling, as well as the types of posters used, would provide valuable insights into the intervention's active ingredients. For future research or extended community service, exploring the long-term retention of this improved understanding and the behavioral changes resulting from it would be beneficial. Nonetheless, this abstract effectively highlights a successful and impactful psychoeducational program.
