Abstract

The anxiety felt by prisoners regarding the role they will play after being released is a new problem for prisoners who will end their term of imprisonment. A resilient soul is also needed by a prisoner as a provision for him or her to return to his or her family and society. The approach used to reduce anxiety and increase resilience in this study is cognitive behavioral therapy using cognitive restructuring techniques. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used as an approach because this therapy does not base treatment solely on the client’s thoughts, but rather a comprehensive technique to change attitudes and behavior. Meanwhile, cognitive restructuring serves to strengthen the concept and therapy of cognitive behavioral therapy, thereby enable clients to maintain their cognitive performance and have a positive perception on every problem. This study aims to examine the effect of cognitive behavioral therapy using cognitive restructuring techniques on reducing anxiety and increasing the resilience of the immediately released prisoners. This research also aims to test the correlation and influence between prisoners’ anxiety and resilience and to find out the dimensions of resilience that play a major role in reducing the anxiety of immediately released prisoners. This experimental research took place at Class II A Purwokerto Prison. The number of respondents was 20 prisoners. Data resulted from questionnaires completed by respondents and the proposed hypothesis were then analyzed using t-tests, correlation analysis and regression analysis. The findings of this study concluded that: Cognitive behavioral therapy using cognitive restructuring techniques is effective in reducing the anxiety and increasing the resilience of the immediately released prisoners. Resilience has a negative and significant effect on the anxiety of the immediately released prisoners, and flexibility isthe dimension of resilience with the greatest contribution in reducing the anxiety of the immediately released prisoners. Elements of resilience such as spirituality, family encouragement and goal orientation, based on findings of this research, are not primary factors. Spirituality for clients in general is still only identity. As to its appreciation and interpretation, it still needs to be deepened. Meanwhile, family encouragement and goal orientation are equally perceived by clients as important but not to be the dominant intervention
