| description | Parental divorce presents a significant societal concern with profound implications for students'
socio-emotional development. Despite increasing awareness of its negative impacts, tailored
intervention programs addressing issues like suicidal ideation, depression, and resilience remain
scarce. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Intervention (ACTI) Module in alleviating suicidal ideation and depression while enhancing
resilience among primary school students from divorced households. Employing The Sidek
module development model (SDMM), a comprehensive ACTI module was crafted, comprising six
components with multiple units and activities. Preliminary findings suggests strong content
validity and reliability of the ACTI module. Utilizing a quasi-experimental single group pretest
posttest design with 30 participants aged 12, the study revealed significant improvements in
depression symptoms, reductions in suicidal ideation, and enhancements in resilience levels post
intervention. These results underscore the potential of the ACTI module in meeting the diverse
needs of students from divorced families and supporting school counselors and psychologists in
addressing mental health and resilience challenges effectively. |
