The efficacy of guidance and counseling services within educational settings has frequently been constrained by traditional delivery methods, such as paper-based materials, boards, and PowerPoint presentations, which have been shown to limit student engagement. This study was undertaken to address these limitations by developing and validating a web-based platform, named "WAHANA BIKONS," designed to enhance the interactivity, creativity, and innovation of counseling services. The platform incorporates interactive elements such as games, discussions, and quizzes to foster a more engaging environment for students. The research and development process were structured into three key phases: preliminary research for initial data collection, a prototyping phase involving the creation and refinement of the website, and an assessment phase, where evaluations were conducted with both information technology (IT) experts and end-users. Data were amassed through questionnaires administered to six IT experts and thirty-nine users, with content validation assessed via the Content Validity Index (CVI). The validation results revealed a score of 0.92 from IT experts and 0.99 from users, indicating a high level of content validity for the developed platform. These findings suggest that "WAHANA BIKONS" is a viable tool for school counselors, enabling more dynamic and engaging counseling sessions. The study underscores the potential of incorporating interactive web-based media in guidance and counseling services and suggests further exploration into diversifying game elements and content to address the evolving developmental needs of students comprehensively. Future iterations of such media are recommended to ensure responsive and adaptable services to the varied needs of the student population.

Scholars who work on undergraduate thesis are prone to experience anxiety. In addition, the perceived stress of scholars to be able to complete the project is an influential factor in increasing anxiety symptoms in scholars who are working on their thesis. The present study aims to explore the effectiveness of a five-week online-based group intervention using Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction in reducing anxiety and perceived stress of scholars who work on undergraduate thesis. The study was a pre-and post-test experimental design in which participants were tested for psychological parameters, both before and after the intervention. Participants were divided into 2 groups, treatment and control which consists of eight scholars (seven females and one male). Online intervention consisted of 5 sessions which lasted about 150-200 minutes on each session. Generalized Anxiety Disorder -7 (GAD-7) and Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10) was used to measure anxiety and perceived stress, respectively. Statistical analysis indicated that online-based MBSR was not significantly effective in reducing anxiety and perceived stress. However, a trend of positive improvement was observed, indicating the potential benefits of MBSR for reducing anxiety symptoms in scholars who are working on their thesis. Limitations of this study are explained in the discussion section.

“…Although the process of finishing a minor thesis provides an opportunity for students to apply their knowledge in the context of research, on the other hand, the challenging process can cause issues for their psychological conditions. Students might experience symptoms of anxiety that might worsen one"s well-being (Suryawati, Purwaningrum, & Susilo, 2020). This creates a concerning situation as college students are generally in the young adult stage of development, which is a period associated with increased anxiety due to concerns regarding the future and instability in various life domains (Santrock, 2019;Sulandari et al, 2020;Varma et al, 2021).…”

In order to complete an undergraduate degree in Indonesian, college students are mandated to finish their undergraduate thesis (usually called as ‘skripsi’ in Indonesian) in their final year of study. Finishing an undergraduate thesis is known to be a challenging process as one’s ability in problem solving, writing, and conducting research is tested. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of online group Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in reducing anxiety and negative affect and also increasing positive affect in college students who are currently working on their undergraduate thesis. This study is conducted using a quasi-experimental research design including an experimental (n = 22) and control group (n = 8). The data is collected in 3 time points (pretest, posttest, and 1 month follow-up) using GAD-7 to measure anxiety and PANAS to measure positive and negative affect. It is found that the experimental group had significantly lower score of anxiety (F(2, 56) = 15.90, p = < .001) and negative affect (F (2, 56) = 8.76, p = <0.001) at the follow-up. However, there was no significant mean difference in positive affect. In conclusion, online group MBSR is effective in reducing college students’ anxiety and negative affect during the completion of undergraduate thesis.
