Abstract

Decreased self-leadership in people with mental disorders is the impact of psychological and mental disorders and requires serious attention. Based on the results of a preliminary study conducted at the Bani Amrini Mental Health Center through observation of all patients, it was found that there were several decreases in attitudes such as decreased motivation in oneself, lack of ability to communicate and lack of ability to establish social relationships. This study aims to analyze the difference in self-leadership in patients after being given group activity therapy.
The design used experimental design pre - test and post - test with control group design. The population used is people with mental disorders at the Bani Amrini Mental Health Center Foundation, the number of samples is 34 with 17 control groups and 17 treatment groups using purposive sampling technique. The independent variable is group activity therapy while the dependent variable is self-leadership. The instrument used was a questionnaire while the statistical test used the Paired t-test and Mann-Whithey test with a significance value (&#945-) of 0.05.
The test results obtained a P-Value (0.000) on ODGJ self-leadership before and after being given in the treatment group, while in the control group the difference in self-leadership obtained a P-Value (0.041). The difference in self-leadership in ODGJ between the control group and the treatment group obtained a P-Value (0.000), indicating that there is an effect of group activity therapy on increasing self-leadership between the control and treatment groups.
The researcher^s suggestion is the importance of implementing group activity therapy on an ongoing basis to increase the self-leadership ODGJ so that it is expected to help accelerate the recovery process and recovery of ODGJ at the Bani Amrini Mental Health Home Foundation.
