Qur'an-Based Psychoeducation to Prevent Premarital Sexual Behavior Among Muslim Adolescents

Abstract

The increasing trend of premarital sex is a serious threat to social and religious values. However, the intervention of a medical and psychological-based psychoeducational model alone is not effective enough to reduce the Premarital sexual behavior of Indonesian Muslim adolescents. This study aims to analyze the Qur'an-based psychoeducational model, which touches on aspects of cognition, affection, psychomotor and spirituality. This is a qualitative research. The data were obtained through interviews and documentation, which then analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s model data analysis tools. The results of this study reveal that the Qur'anic psychoeducational model is used as an alternative way to prevent Premarital sex. The Qur'an contains values ​​that regulate sexual behavior. The doctrine of sexual behavior in the Qur'an has proven to be effective as a reference for implementing psychoeducational models among adolescents. The basic teachings about covering certain body parts, lowering the gaze, and the prohibition of approaching adultery contribute to the psychoeducational group program for the development of cognitive, affective, behavioral and spiritual aspects. This study, theoretically contributes to expanding the dimensions of psychoeducational programs, especially in combining psychological approaches with the teachings of the Qur'an, faith, and spirituality to protect, reduce, and overcome the problems of premarital sexual behavior of Indonesian Muslim adolescents.
