Keywords:
Cognitive behavioral counseling, Religious values, Spiritual well-beingAbstract
Spiritual well-being is a state of individual well-being involving positive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to oneself, others, nature, and the Transcendent Being, namely God. The study of the spiritual well-being of students at Almatera Tembarak Temanggung is crucial for improving their mental health through cognitive group counseling with religious values. The study aimed to improve spiritual well-being through a quantitative experimental approach using a true experimental design, namely a pretest-posttest control group design. The religious values in this study stem from the personality traits of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): sidiq (intelligible), amanah (trustworthy), tabligh (intelligible), and fatanah (intelligible). A purposive sampling technique was used to select 12 students, and spiritual well-being data were measured using the SBWQ instrument and analyzed using ANOVA and Wicoxon tests. The results showed that some students still had low spiritual well-being. Cognitive group counseling with religious values proved effective in improving spiritual well-being. The ANOVA test for the experimental group yielded a value of 0.002, significantly more effective than the control group’s 0.29. The Wicoxon test showed normal and linear data. The research results recommend that cognitive behavioral group counseling containing religious values can be implemented for female students in order to see the differences in the level of spiritual well-being between male and female students.
