- Abstract
Natural disasters occurring in Central Sulawesi in 2018 has caused psychological trauma on people affected, including early childhood (EC) teachers and tutors. Related to this grief, the current study aims at examining the effectiveness of post trauma counseling in developing capability of EC teachers and tutors in managing stress caused by natural disasters. Employing a quasi-experiment and pretest-posttest control group design, this study involved 23 EC teachers and tutors in each experiment and control group. Data were collected through Post Traumatic Stress Disorder developed by Scott and Stradling (2006). Analysis of Mann Whitney indicated that µ2 = 0.005 > α = 0.05. This showed that post trauma counseling was effective in developing the capability of EC teachers and tutors in managing stress resulted from natural disasters. Further analysis per aspect showed that except for aspects of hope and isolation, post trauma counseling was effective in developing aspects of event re-experienced, avoidance, arousal, and life disrupted. These findings recommended that counselors were able to use post trauma counseling to help casualties of natural disaster to develop capability in managing their stress. Meanwhile, further study should analyze reasons of the ineffectiveness of post trauma counseling in developing aspects of hope and isolation.
