PELATIHAN FLOURISHING GUNA MENINGKATKAN RESILIENSI AKADEMIK PADA MAHASISWA JURUSAN ADMINISTRASI BISNIS POLITEKNIK NEGERI MANADO

The Flourishing Training was conducted to help students of the Business Administration Department at Politeknik Negeri Manado who have low levels of psychological well-being and academic resilience. Low resilience gives rise to various problems, such as low self-confidence caused by bullying experienced within the family and school environment, as well as excessive anxiety about the future caused by parental divorce. These conditions give rise to feelings of insecurity, social withdrawal, and a low ability to adapt to the changes occurring around the students. The technique used to improve flourishing and academic resilience is reflective journaling based on the PERMA model. Flourishing is closely related to self-compassion and mindfulness, which can help reduce stress and anxiety, increase self-awareness, and help individuals respond to difficult situations in a calmer and more controlled manner. The evaluation results showed that the flourishing training was effective in helping students avoid being overly self-critical and in reducing anxiety and stress when facing changes in life. This is evidenced by the average percentage scores for both indicators, which were 75% and 76%, respectively. Meanwhile, the other two indicators had not yet reached the predetermined level of effectiveness. Students' ability to control negative emotions obtained an average score of 70%, while their ability to remain calm when facing difficult life situations obtained an average score of 65%.
