Negative thinking merupakan permasalahan psikologis yang dapat menghambat mahasantri dalam menyelesaikan hafalan Al-Qur'an 30 juz karena berpotensi menurunkan motivasi, kepercayaan diri, dan produktivitas menghafal. Meskipun teknik restrukturisasi kognitif telah diterapkan untuk mengatasi berbagai permasalahan psikologis, penerapannya pada mahasantri penghafal Al-Qur'an masih memerlukan kajian lebih lanjut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perubahan tingkat negative thinking setelah pemberian layanan konseling kelompok dengan teknik restrukturisasi kognitif pada mahasantri Pondok Pesantren Al-Qur'an Ibnu Katsir 1 Jember. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain One Group Pretest–Posttest Design. Subjek penelitian berjumlah tujuh mahasantri yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui angket negative thinking yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya. Intervensi dilaksanakan dalam empat pertemuan melalui layanan konseling kelompok dengan teknik restrukturisasi kognitif. Data dianalisis menggunakan Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test berbantuan IBM SPSS Statistics versi 32. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa seluruh subjek mengalami penurunan skor negative thinking, dengan rata-rata skor menurun dari 144,86 pada pretest menjadi 54,00 pada posttest, atau berkurang sebesar 90,86 poin (62,72%). Hasil uji Wilcoxon menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan secara statistik (Z = −2,366; p = 0,018). Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa konseling kelompok dengan teknik restrukturisasi kognitif berpotensi membantu mahasantri mengurangi pikiran negatif selama proses penyelesaian hafalan Al-Qur'an. Hasil penelitian ini juga memberikan dasar awal bagi pengembangan layanan konseling yang lebih kontekstual sesuai kebutuhan psikologis mahasantri di lingkungan pesantren.
The Effect of Cognitive Restructuring Technique on Reducing Negative Thinking Among Mahasantri at Ibnu Katsir 1 Jember
Abstract
Negative thinking is a psychological concern that may hinder students residing in Islamic boarding schools (mahasantri) from completing the memorization of all 30 juz of the Qur'an, as it can negatively affect motivation, self-confidence, and memorization productivity. Although cognitive restructuring has been applied to address various psychological difficulties, its implementation among Qur'an-memorizing students requires further investigation. This study aimed to examine changes in negative thinking following group counseling using cognitive restructuring techniques among mahasantri at Ibnu Katsir 1 Qur'anic Islamic Boarding School, Jember, Indonesia. A quantitative approach employing a one-group pretest–posttest design was adopted. Seven participants were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a negative thinking questionnaire that had undergone validity and reliability testing. The intervention consisted of four group counseling sessions incorporating cognitive restructuring techniques. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test with IBM SPSS Statistics version 32. The findings revealed a reduction in negative thinking scores among all participants, with the mean score decreasing from 144.86 at pretest to 54.00 at posttest, representing a reduction of 90.86 points (62.72%). The Wilcoxon test indicated a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (Z = −2.366; p = .018). These findings suggest that cognitive restructuring delivered through group counseling may help reduce negative thinking among mahasantri during Qur'anic memorization. This study provides preliminary evidence to inform the development of contextually appropriate counseling services addressing the psychological needs of students in Islamic boarding schools.
