Abstract

The increase in the number of sexual violence cases in Indonesia over time has increased significantly. There needs to be an appropriate treatment to help victims of sexual violence. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of reality counseling using the Want, Doing, Evaluate, and Planning (WDEP) technique to reduce the anxiety of adolescent victims of sexual abuse. This research was an experimental study with a single-subject design. The study uses an A-B scheme with A as the baseline phase, namely the pre-intervention phase, and B as the post-intervention phase. Data collection techniques used were observation and in-depth interviews. The counseling treatment was carried out for approximately 2 months with a total of 4 sessions in 45 min per session. The anxiety level was indicated on a scale of 1–10 where the number 1 refers to a very low level and 10 is very high anxiety. The results showed that there was a significant decrease in the subject’s anxiety level which was 10 before the intervention and 4 after counseling. This showed that reality counseling with the WDEP technique significantly reduced anxiety in research subjects who experienced sexual violence. This study recommends reality counseling as an alternative intervention in helping victims of sexual violence with anxiety issues.
