The Effect of a Psychoeducation Program on University Students’ Strengths Self-Efficacy and Career Decision
Öz
This study aims to examine the effects of a psychoeducational program based on Career Construction Theory on strengths self-efficacy and career decision levels among university students. A quasi-experimental 2x3 design, including pretest, posttest, and follow-up measurements, was employed. The study group consisted of 32 voluntary third-year undergraduate students, with 16 assigned to the experimental group and 16 to the control group. The experimental group received a psychoeducational program developed by the researcher, consisting of eight sessions and six workshops. No intervention was administered to the control group. The “Strengths Self-Efficacy Scale” and the “Career Decision Scale” were used as data collection instruments. Data were analyzed using two-way repeated measures ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U, and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. The findings indicated that the psychoeducational program increased the strengths self-efficacy levels of the students in the experimental group and reduced their career indecision. Moreover, this effect was sustained at the follow-up test. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the psychoeducational program grounded in Career Construction Theory is effective in enhancing university students’ strengths-based self-efficacy and career decision levels.
