Efektivitas spiritual emotional freedom technique SEFT dalam menurunkan gejala perilaku oppositional defiant disorder ODD pada anak di Panti Asuhan Sunan Ampel

INDONESIA:

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) merupakan gangguan perilaku yang ditandai dengan pola marah, mudah tersinggung, perilaku argumentatif, menentang figur otoritas, serta kecenderungan dendam yang berlangsung persisten. Anak dengan ODD mengalami kesulitan regulasi emosi yang berdampak pada fungsi sosial dan akademik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji efektivitas Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) dalam menurunkan gejala ODD pada anak di Panti Asuhan Sunan Ampel. Penelitian menggunakan desain Single Subject Research (SSR) dengan pola A-B-A (reversal design). Subjek penelitian adalah satu orang anak laki-laki berusia 10 tahun yang telah didiagnosis ODD oleh psikolog klinis. Pengukuran gejala ODD dilakukan menggunakan checklist berbasis DSM-5 pada fase baseline awal (5 sesi), intervensi (21 sesi), dan baseline akhir (5 sesi). Analisis data dilakukan melalui analisis visual grafik dan uji Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penurunan rata-rata skor gejala ODD dari 7,2
(kategori sangat tinggi) pada fase baseline awal menjadi 0,4 (kategori rendah) pada fase baseline akhir. Penurunan perilaku bertahan (maintenance effect) bahkan setelah intervensi dihentikan. Gejala yang paling responsif terhadap intervensi adalah perilaku impulsif-reaktif (mudah marah, membantah, kehilangan kesabaran), sedangkan gejala vindictiveness (dendam) menunjukkan resistensi lebih tinggi. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa SEFT efektif menurunkan gejala ODD pada anak melalui mekanisme regulasi emosi berbasis response modulation dan pendekatan spiritual.

ENGLISH:

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is a behavioral disorder characterized by persistent patterns of anger, irritability, argumentative behavior, defiance toward authority figures, and a tendency toward resentment. Children with ODD experience difficulties with emotional regulation that impact their social and academic functioning. This study aims to test the effectiveness of the Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) in reducing ODD symptoms in children at an orphanage of Sunan Ampel. The study employed a single-subject research (SSR) design with an A-B-A
reversal design. The study subject was a 10-year-old boy diagnosed with ODD by a clinical psychologist. ODD symptom measurement was conducted using a DSM5-based checklist during the initial baseline phase (5 sessions), the intervention phase (21 sessions), and the final baseline phase (5 sessions). Data analysis was performed using graphical analysis and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test.
The results showed a decrease in the average ODD symptom score from 7.2 (very high category) in the initial baseline phase to 0.4 (low category) in the final baseline phase. The reduction in symptoms persisted (maintenance effect) even after the intervention was discontinued. The symptoms most responsive to the intervention were impulsive-reactive behaviors (easily angered, defiant, loss of patience), while symptoms of vindictiveness showed higher resistance. This study concluded that SEFT is effective in reducing ODD symptoms in children through a
response-modulation-based emotional regulation mechanism and a spiritual
approach.
