Abstract


The search for meaning in life is a fundamental aspect of an individual's psychological well-being. Adolescents, as individuals in the process of building their identities, often face challenges in discovering their life’s meaning. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a psychoeducation program based on logotherapy (meaning-centered therapy) in enhancing students' understanding of life’s meaning and its impact on happiness and self-confidence. This study employs a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest design without a control group. The research sample consists of students from SMP Negeri 7 Sawang, selected using the purposive sampling technique. The psychoeducation program was conducted through lectures, discussions, and reflections on life’s meaning, with evaluations carried out using a meaning-in-life scale instrument. The results indicate a significant increase in students' understanding after participating in the psychoeducation program. Students who previously had a low understanding of life’s meaning showed improved scores after the intervention and demonstrated more positive and confident attitudes. The conclusion of this study is that the logotherapy-based psychoeducation program effectively enhances students' understanding of life’s meaning. The implications of this study suggest that similar interventions can be integrated into school curricula to support students' psychological well-being. Future research is recommended to use a larger sample and consider experimental methods with a control group.
