Descriptive qualitative analysis shows improvements in self-concept among adolescents, highlighting the KKJ model's impact.
This study examines the effectiveness of counseling interventions using the KKJ model (Islamic Piety, Financial Intelligence, and Social Spirit) to improve the self-concept of adolescents at Palembang Class I Special Child Development Institution (LPKA). Adolescents in correctional facilities often experience negative self-concept due to dysfunctional family backgrounds, weak economic conditions, and unsupportive social environments. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed with four male subjects aged 16-19 years from different legal backgrounds, including theft, child protection violations, narcotics abuse, and homicide. Data were collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation over two months. The results revealed significant improvements across three dimensions of self-concept: self-knowledge, future expectations, and self-assessment. Subjects experienced positive behavioral transformations, including increased self-confidence, enhanced social skills, emotional stability, and spiritual awareness. The KKJ model proved effective in forming healthier, more psychologically and spiritually adaptive self-concepts among adolescent detainees. This integrated approach addresses cognitive, communicative, and spiritual domains simultaneously, providing a holistic rehabilitation framework. The findings suggest that value-based counseling can successfully transform adolescents from psychologically vulnerable individuals into resilient persons ready for social reintegration
