Abstract
In November 2023, the Magetan District Health Service reported 870 cases of self-harm among middle school students in Magetan. These acts of self-harm involved teenagers cutting their hands with sharp objects. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of psychoeducation in improving self-harm literacy among middle school students. The research employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. A total of 50 junior high school students in Magetan, aged 12–14 years, participated in the study and were randomly assigned to the experimental group. Data collection was conducted using a multiple-choice self-harm literacy test. The analysis utilized a paired t-test (dependent t-test) to determine the significance of the intervention's effects, with the criterion for significance set at a p-value of < 0.05. The results indicated a p-value of < 0.05, demonstrating that the intervention had a significant effect. It was concluded that psychoeducation effectively improved self-harm literacy in the experimental group. Furthermore, the R-square value exceeded 0.5 (53%), indicating a strong influence of psychoeducation on enhancing self-harm literacy. These findings affirm that psychoeducational interventions play a substantial role in increasing students' awareness and understanding of the dangers of self-harm.
