Self-Injury Behavior: Prevention Through True Stories e-Biblioeducation
Abstract
Self-injury is a maladaptive behavior among adolescents, intentionally performed to reduce emotional distress without suicidal intent. This study aimed to develop real-life story–based e-biblioeducation media in the form of a digital flipbook as a preventive and reductive intervention against self-injury behavior among junior high school students. Real-life story–based e-biblioeducation is considered effective because it facilitates emotional identification, reflective thinking, and vicarious learning through authentic narratives, enabling adolescents to internalize adaptive coping strategies. The study employed the ADDIE model. Participants were 15 eighth-grade students at SMP Shalahuddin Malang selected through random sampling. Research instruments included expert validation sheets and a self-injury scale. Validation results indicated that the media was feasible, with scores ranging from high to very feasible across expert reviewers. Effectiveness testing using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test yielded a Z score of −3.302 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant reduction in self-injury behavior. Although limited by a small sample size and the absence of a control group, the findings suggest that real-life story–based e-biblioeducation is a promising alternative for preventive school counseling and warrants further investigation using larger samples and experimental designs
