Quantitative data analysis technique using the paired sample t-test against pretest and posttest scores on the depression scale and mindfulness scale as a manipulation check. The result showed Z = -2.207b (p < 0.05). This suggest that Mindfulners Program can reduce depression in inmates living in prisoner significantly.
Kehidupan di Lapas merupakan kehidupan dengan tingkat stressor yang tinggi. Berdasarkan Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS), kondisi terpenjara merupakan kondisi penuh tekanan tertinggi keempat dalam skala urutan pengalaman hidup yang menimbulkan stres. Di satu sisi jumlah WBP di Indonesia meningkat hampir setiap tahunnya, namun kerapkali dihadapkan pada terbatasnya fasilitas, termasuk fasilitas layanan kesehatan mental. Akibatnya, banyak kasus gangguan mental pada WBP yang tidak tertangani dan kondisinya menjadi semakin parah. Tujuan dari program ini adalah mengembangkan program layanan kesehatan mental bagi WBP berupa konseling individu dan terapi kelompok pada salah satu Lapas di Indonesia. Instrumen yang digunakan sebagai pengumpul data adalah kuesioner, wawancara, dan Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Sebanyak 34 WBP menggunakan layanan konseling individu dengan total kunjungan sebanyak 50 sesi. Data menunjukkan bahwa permasalahan yang dikonsultasikan berupa permasalahan keluarga (59%), permasalahan dengan pasangan (20%), permasalahan lingkungan Lapas (6%), permasalahan ketakutan menjelang bebas (6%), permasalahan harga diri (6%), dan permasalahan tentang pekerjaan (3%). Sebanyak 40 WBP mengikuti terapi kelompok. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa para WBP mengungkapkan bahwa layanan psikologi di Lapas sangat bermanfaat. Melalui program ini, diharapkan dapat memberikan gambaran dan dasar pengembangan layanan kesehatan mental bagi para WBP di Lapas mengingat manfaat dan kebutuhan yang tinggi.
