Improvement of Spiritual Well-Being in Students Experiencing Quarter Life Crisis through Solution-Focus Brief Therapy

Postgraduate students are defined as individuals who continue their studies at the master’s level at a tertiary institution, both public and private or an institution that is equivalent to a tertiary institution. This adult development phase is the phase that has the lowest level of spiritual well-being compared to other developmental phases where individuals do not have spiritual beliefs that can be used as a coping mechanism to overcome problems, especially problems experienced during the quarter-life crisis phase. This study aimed to determine the effect of a solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) intervention on the spiritual well-being of postgraduate students experiencing a quarter-life crisis. This research is very important for groups of young adults who experience quarter-life crises to help provide information and skills in dealing with quarter-life crises. The research method used is quasi-experiment. Based on the results of the research that has been done, brief solution-focused therapy is proven to be able to improve the spiritual well-being of postgraduate students who are experiencing a quarter-life crisis. Increased spiritual well-being gives graduate students more positive self-assessments and reduces anxiety so that their quarter-life crisis rate decreases. Based on the description, it can be concluded that short therapy focused on solutions improves the spiritual well-being of postgraduate students experiencing a quarter-life crisis. Subjects who were given brief therapy focused on solutions felt changes in themselves, and complaints such as low self-esteem, pessimism, and anxiety could be resolved. The decrease in these complaints made the subject more optimistic so that the quarter-life crisis could be resolved.
