Abstract

Background: Teen Mental Retardation (MR) in the community shows more problems in their social skills. Various kinds of problems can occur in MR youth so social skills are important in overcoming their everyday problems. Inadequate social skills in MR adolescents can lead to low self-esteem problems. Adolescence is an identity search stage so it needs to be trained and educated. During this period, adolescents also need to be prepared to engage in social relations in the community, establish open communication with families, and prepare them to enter the workforce. Method: The type of research used was an experiment with a pre-post control group design, the study was conducted on 52 mild MR teens divided into treatment groups and control groups, where the treatment group was given participant modeling intervention with the help of peers conducted for one month. Results: In the Wilcoxon test for the social skills variable in the intervention group the value was obtained (p = 0,000), the control group (p = 0.015), in the self-esteem variable the treatment group obtained a value (p = 0,000) while the control group (p = 0.005). The Man-Whitney test found scores (p = 0.005) on social skills and (p = 0.019) on self-esteem which meant that there were differences between the intervention and control groups. Conclusion: MR youth can be given participant modeling interventions through model examples from peers to improve their social skills and self-esteem.
