INTEGRATING INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING AND ISLAMIC STEM EDUCATION FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION AND SELF-FORGIVENESS

ABSTRACT

The problem of suicidal ideation among college students is increasingly worrying and requires a comprehensive intervention approach. This study aims to develop and explore the effectiveness of a suicide ideation prevention intervention model that integrates individual counselling based on Islamic values with a STEM approach that is responsive to Islamic culture. This study used a qualitative approach with a retrospective case study method on four students who underwent individual counselling services and were indicated to have suicidal ideation. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analysed using a spiral model. The results showed that two of the four subjects experienced a decrease in suicidal ideation and an increase in self-forgiveness after undergoing counselling, while the other two subjects still showed obstacles due to limited self disclosure. The integration of the Islamic counselling approach and STEM education with spiritual and social values has been shown to contribute to strengthening students' psychological and spiritual resilience. These findings indicate that a contextual and religious intervention approach is very relevant to be applied in the Islamic higher education environment in Indonesia as a preventive effort against mental health crises.
