Subject
Adolescents; Health Belief Model; Mental Health; Self-Awareness; Self-Efficacy
Description
Background: Mental health among adolescents remains a major public health concern, with stigma, lack of awareness, and limited services acting as barriers to care. The Health Belief Model (HBM) provides a framework to improve health behaviors through modifying perceptions of risk, benefit, and self-efficacy.
Methods: This quantitative study employed a pre-experimental design with a two-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 50 adolescents aged 12–16 years in Desa Bangun Rejo were recruited using cluster sampling and divided into experimental and control groups (25 each). Data were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires measuring self-awareness, self-efficacy, and emotional regulation before and after HBM-based educational intervention. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, Levene’s test, and independent t-test with a significance level of 5%.
Results: The experimental group showed an increase in mean score from 66.00 to 87.60 (p < 0.05), while the control group improved from 64.96 to 76.48 (p < 0.05). Independent t-test results indicated a greater mean improvement in the experimental group (difference 11.12, t = 3.754, p = 0.001), confirming the effectiveness of the HBM intervention in increasing mental health accessibility and reducing anxiety levels.
Conclusion: HBM-based interventions significantly enhance adolescent mental health accessibility by improving self-awareness and self-efficacy, thus supporting better emotional regulation.
