KESAN MODUL DATIS BERDASARKAN TERAPI KOGNITIF TINGKAH LAKU BAGI MENINGKATKAN GAYA DAYA TINDAK DALAM KALANGAN REMAJA

EFFECT OF THE DATIS MODULE BASED ON COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY ON COPING STYLE AMONG ADOLESCENTS

Abstract

Kajian ini bertujuan menilai kesan Modul DATIS berasaskan Terapi Kognitif Tingkah Laku (TKT) terhadap Gaya Daya Tindak dalam kalangan remaja sekolah menengah. Modul DATIS dibangunkan berdasarkan prinsip TKT yang menekankan hubungan antara pemikiran, emosi dan tingkah laku bagi membantu individu membentuk strategi daya tindak yang lebih adaptif. Kajian kuasi eksperimen ini menggunakan reka bentuk ujian pra dan ujian pos dengan kumpulan rawatan dan kumpulan kawalan. Seramai 70 orang pelajar Tingkatan Empat daripada dua buah sekolah menengah di Perak dipilih secara persampelan bertujuan dan dibahagikan kepada kumpulan rawatan (n = 35) dan kumpulan kawalan (n = 35). Data dikumpul menggunakan Soal Selidik Gaya Daya Tindak dan dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif, ANOVA serta MANOVA diikuti ujian univariat. Dapatan deskriptif menunjukkan skor min Gaya Daya Tindak kumpulan rawatan meningkat daripada 3.5488 pada ujian pra kepada 4.3551 pada ujian pos, manakala kumpulan kawalan menurun daripada 3.4090 kepada 2.7036. Analisis ANOVA menunjukkan bahawa interaksi antara kelompok dan ujian tidak signifikan, F(1, 136) = 1.015, p = .316, menunjukkan perubahan skor antara kedua-dua kumpulan tidak berbeza secara signifikan. Analisis MANOVA yang diikuti ujian univariat menunjukkan faktor rawatan mempunyai kesan signifikan terhadap Gaya Daya Tindak dalam model yang turut melibatkan tahap pendapatan keluarga, F (1, 132) = 4.468, p = .036. Secara keseluruhannya, Modul DATIS menunjukkan potensi untuk menyumbang kepada perubahan Gaya Daya Tindak dalam sampel kajian. Namun, dapatan perlu ditafsirkan secara berhati-hati kerana interaksi kelompok dan ujian tidak signifikan. Kajian lanjutan dengan sampel lebih besar dan penilaian susulan diperlukan untuk mengesahkan kesan intervensi.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the DATIS Module, based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), on coping style among secondary school adolescents. The DATIS Module was developed based on CBT principles that emphasise the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours to facilitate the development of more adaptive coping strategies. This quasi-experimental study employed a pre-test and post-test design with treatment and control groups. A total of 70 Form Four students from two secondary schools in Perak were selected using purposive sampling and divided into a treatment group (n = 35) and a control group (n = 35). Data were collected using the Coping Style Questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and MANOVA followed by univariate testing. Descriptive findings showed that the mean coping style score in the treatment group increased from 3.5488 at pre-test to 4.3551 at post-test, whereas the control group decreased from 3.4090 to 2.7036. ANOVA showed that the group-by-test interaction was not statistically significant, F (1, 136) = 1.015, p = .316, indicating that changes in coping style scores did not differ significantly between the two groups. MANOVA followed by univariate testing showed that the treatment factor had a significant effect on coping style within the model that also included family income level, F (1, 132) = 4.468, p = .036. Overall, the DATIS Module demonstrated potential to contribute to changes in coping style within the study sample. However, the findings should be interpreted cautiously because the group-by-test interaction was not statistically significant. Further studies with larger samples and follow-up assessments are recommended to confirm the effects of the intervention.
