Exploratory study finds the Pagpapayabong program improves resilience and well-being in Filipino youth, indicating effective psychological intervention strategies.
Filipino youth are exposed to negative life events that may be life-changing, psychologically disturbing, or mentally handicapping. The current exploratory study aimed to develop an intervention program that promotes the psychological resilience and well-being of Filipino youth who have experienced negative life events. This study was divided into two phases to explore the content and effects of the program: (1) Development of the Pagpapayabong program and (2) Testing the program's efficacy. The Pagpapayabong (Flourishing) Program is a psychological intervention program grounded in Mindfulness and Positive Psychology techniques. The program consists of five modules with 11 activities. A total of 20 participants were randomly assigned to the experimental and control conditions of the study. Brief Resilience Coping Scale (BRCS) and Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale (RPWBS) were used to assess participants' psychological resilience and well-being before and after the program implementation. Phase 2 results show a significant increase in the experimental group's well-being (p = 0.008) and resilience (p = 0.005), showing the program's effectiveness. The results of the study substantially contribute to resilience literature and mindfulness interventions.
