Pengaruh Pendekatan Spiritual Muhasabah terhadap Penurunan Tingkat Kecemasan pada Penderita Gangguan Medis Usia Dewasa Madya

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of muhasabah therapy on reducing anxiety levels among middle-aged adults with medical disorders. The proposed hypothesis states that muhasabah therapy has a significant effect on lowering anxiety levels in this group. The research subjects consisted of middle-aged adult respondents with medical conditions selected through purposive sampling. A quantitative method with a one-group pretest-posttest design was employed. The instrument used was an anxiety scale, and data were analyzed using the Paired Sample T-Test with SPSS software. The results showed a t-value of 7.617 with a significance level of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of muhasabah therapy on reducing anxiety levels among respondents. These findings demonstrate that muhasabah, as a spiritual approach, is effective in lowering anxiety among middle-aged adults with medical disorders, thus supporting the proposed hypothesis.
