Implementasi konseling Islami berbasis acceptance and commitment therapy terhadap kecemasan karier pada siswa

Abstract

Career anxiety is a psychological issue frequently experienced by 12th-grade students as they approach the transition to higher education or the workforce. Students at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) 2 Bandung face the dual demands of completing their studies and deciding on a career path after graduation. This study aims to conduct an in-depth examination of the implementation process of Islamic counseling based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) integrated with the values of tawakal, ridha, and istiqomah in addressing students’ career anxiety. The study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design, involving in-depth interviews and participatory observation of guidance counselors and students identified as experiencing career anxiety. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, and their validity was assessed through source triangulation. The results showed that integrating ACT principles with Islamic values helped students manage their career anxiety more adaptively, as evidenced by a shift in attitude from avoidance to openness, increased clarity regarding career choices, and enhanced psychological readiness to face the future. This study contributes an ACT-based Islamic counseling model that has been contextually validated in Islamic educational institutions.
