Abstract


Kecemasan dalam mencari pekerjaan merupakan masalah umum bagi banyak mahasiswa di tahun terakhir studi mereka dan dapat menghambat persiapan pencarian kerja mereka. Studi ini menyelidiki efektivitas konseling kelompok menggunakan teknik restrukturisasi kognitif untuk mengurangi kecemasan di antara mahasiswa tahun terakhir di Departemen Konseling Supervisi Universitas PGRI Madiun terkait pencarian kerja mereka yang akan datang. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain quasi-eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol yang tidak setara. Sampel terdiri dari delapan mahasiswa yang dipilih menggunakan pengambilan sampel objektif dan dibagi menjadi kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner kecemasan yang telah divalidasi dan diuji reliabilitasnya. Statistik deskriptif, uji normalitas dan homogenitas, dan uji t sampel independent digunakan untuk analisist data . Hasil menunjukkan bahwa kelompok eksperimen menunjukkan tingkat kecemasan yang secara signifikan lebih rendah daripada kelompok kontrol setelah berpartisipasi dalam sesi konseling kelompok menggunakan teknik restrukturisasi kognitif. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa teknik restrukturisasi kognitif dapat secara efektif mengubah pola pikir irasional pada mahasiswa menjadi pola pikir yang lebih rasional, sehingga mengurangi kecemasan tentang memasuki dunia kerja.


Abstract: Career-related anxiety is a common psychological problem among final-year college students and can interfere with their job search preparation. This study investigated the effectiveness of group counseling using cognitive restructuring in reducing anxiety among final-year college students at the PGRI Counseling Center, Madiun PGRI University. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design and an unequal control group. Eight participants were randomly selected and divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected using a validated and reliable anxiety questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, and independent sample t-tests. The results showed that the experimental group experienced a greater reduction in anxiety scores after group counseling with cognitive restructuring compared to the control group. This suggests that cognitive restructuring can effectively transform irrational thoughts into more rational ones and thus reduce anxiety in the job search.
