ABSTRACT
Introduction: Suicide is a health phenomenon that is currently increasing,
especially in young adults aged 15-29 years. The spiritual aspect in the form of
belief in God is one way to prevent suicide. This study was conducted to
determine the effect of web-based spiritual problem solving on the prevention
of suicide risk in college students.
Methods: The research design used a pre-experimental one-group pre-post-
test. The sample was 59 respondents using the purposive sampling technique.
The independent variable was web-based spiritual problem solving, and the
dependent variable was suicide risk prevention. The intervention was delivered
via the web using PowerPoint media, inspirational videos, and counselling for
approximately one month with four sessions. Data were collected using a
questionnaire and analysed using the Wilcoxon sign rank test.
Results: Web-Based Spiritual Problem Solving significantly decreases suicide
risk with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Web-Based Spiritual Problem Solving has been shown to be
effective in reducing students’ suicide risk. This web intervention can be used
for 24 hours and specifically for counselling and two-way communication on the
web; privacy is maintained because of a hidden identity, which is seen in code
when interacting with counsellors so as to minimize stigma.
