Anxiety is a prevalent mental health concern that frequently disrupts adolescents' academic focus, emotional stability, and social interactions within school environments. Preliminary observations at SMP Arroudhoh Baturetno, Singosari District, Malang Regency, identified symptoms of nervousness during class presentations, excessive test anxiety, and an inability to alleviate somatic tension. This community service project aimed to enhance students' capacity to identify anxiety cues and practice self-regulation skills through participatory psychoeducation and group activity techniques. A descriptive-evaluative design utilizing a pre-test and post-test framework was implemented with 32 purposively selected eighth-grade students. The program comprised needs assessment, baseline evaluation, interactive lectures, deep breathing and grounding demonstrations, small-group guided practice, and post-intervention assessment. The results demonstrated an increase in mean knowledge scores from 58% to 84%, with students achieving good knowledge rising from 31.3% to 87.5%. Behavioral observation revealed that the ability to identify anxiety cues rose from 37.5% to 90.6%, correct execution of relaxation techniques increased from 21.9% to 84.4%, and independent practice capacity escalated from 18.8% to 81.3%. Health education combined with active simulation proves effective in empowering students to independently mitigate situational anxiety as a sustainable school-based mental health preventive strategy.
ABSTRAK
Kecemasan merupakan permasalahan kesehatan mental yang kerap mengganggu konsentrasi belajar, kestabilan emosi, dan interaksi sosial remaja di lingkungan sekolah. Observasi awal di SMP Arroudhoh Baturetno, Kecamatan Singosari, Kabupaten Malang, menemukan fenomena kegugupan saat berbicara di depan kelas, kekhawatiran berlebih terhadap ujian, dan ketidaktahuan siswa dalam meredakan ketegangan fisik. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan kapasitas siswa dalam mengenali tanda kecemasan serta mempraktikkan keterampilan regulasi emosi mandiri melalui pendekatan edukasi partisipatif dan aktivitas kelompok. Metode pelaksanaan menggunakan desain deskriptif evaluatif dengan pendekatan sebelum dan sesudah kegiatan (pre-test dan post-test) pada 32 siswa kelas VIII yang dipilih secara terarah. Rangkaian kegiatan terdiri atas identifikasi kebutuhan, pengukuran awal, penyampaian materi interaktif, demonstrasi teknik relaksasi napas dalam dan grounding, latihan terbimbing dalam kelompok kecil, serta evaluasi akhir. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan kenaikan skor rata-rata pengetahuan dari 58% menjadi 84%, dengan proporsi kategori baik melonjak dari 31,3% menjadi 87,5%. Keterampilan siswa dalam mengenali tanda kecemasan meningkat dari 37,5% menjadi 90,6%, keterampilan teknik relaksasi meningkat dari 21,9% menjadi 84,4%, dan kemandirian latihan meningkat dari 18,8% menjadi 81,3%. Edukasi kesehatan yang dipadukan dengan simulasi langsung terbukti efektif memperkuat pemberdayaan siswa dalam mengelola kecemasan sehari-hari secara mandiri sebagai bentuk intervensi preventif kesehatan mental di sekolah.
