Abstract

Coastal flooding is one of the disasters that regularly occur in Indonesia, especially in coastal areas. Like other disasters such as earthquakes and mountain eruptions, the coastal flooding disaster has an unfavorable psychological impact on disaster survivors. However, it is not yet known for certain the impact of coastal flooding on the psychological survivors and the help needed by them. The purpose of this study was to analyze the psychological needs of coastal flooding disaster survivors and formulate the recommended psychological help. The research method used a cross-sectional survey. The instrument used is the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire (HTQ) with 25 items and four aspects which include: (1) A picture of the trauma experienced by survivors; (2) Subjective descriptions of the most severe traumas; (3) Events related to head injuries; and (4) Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Questionnaires were distributed to 122 high school students who were affected by the coastal flooding. The data analysis technique used is a descriptive statistic, which is by using the help of the SPSS 25 application. The results showed that the level of stress caused by tidal flooding was 42.8% and depression was 39.%. Based on gender, women have a higher level of depression than men. Recommendations for psychological assistance are creative counseling which includes music, bibliotherapy, and cinematherapy.
