Samsiah mohd jais

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to obtain the reliability of Post Traumatic Growth Counseling module (PTGC). The PTGC module contains five training modules namely Module 1: Introduction to Post Traumatic Development; Module 2: Introduction of Domestic Violence; Module 3: Symptoms and Effects of Domestic Violence; Module 4: Intervention of Domestic Violence; and Module 5: Self Care which include eleven activities. The value of reliability is obtained through a written response from a group of subjects among counselors of three different settings. To measure the reliability of a total of 78 counselors were selected from three different settings, namely, the Sultan Idris Education University, the Ministry of Health Malaysia and private institutions in Malaysia. The results show that the PTGC module has a high reliability value of the overall KPPT module of .973. This finding shows that the KPPT module is acceptable and reliable and can be used in counselor training to improve the counselor's efficiency in handling domestic violence counseling. The implication of this study is directly to improve the counseling and counseling practices of counselors in the context of domestic violence, post-traumatic development and mental health particularly in the area of domestic violence counseling among counselors in various settings
