Abstrak

Bencana banjir tidak hanya menimbulkan kerusakan fisik dan ekonomi, tetapi juga berdampak serius terhadap well-being masyarakat, terutama dalam aspek psikologis, sosial, dan spiritual pada siswa. Pendekatan berbasis budaya memiliki potensi strategis dalam mendukung pemulihan pascabencana di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi nilai-nilai dalam tradisi ruwatan sebagai landasan konseptual dalam merancang prototipe konseling budaya yang relevan dan adaptif untuk meningkatkan well-being pada siswa terdampak banjir di Jawa Tengah, Indonesia. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif eksploratif dengan melibatkan 20 partisipan yang menjadi sumber data dan dipilih dengan teknik purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipatif, dan studi dokumentasi terhadap praktik ruwatan di komunitas lokal. Analisis data dilakukan secara tematik dengan pendekatan interpretatif menggunakan aplikasi Nvivo. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai-nilai dalam ruwatan yang terdiri dari pemurnian batin, rekonsiliasi sosial, dan transformasi dapat diformulasikan ke dalam struktur prototipe konseling budaya yang terdiri atas tiga tahapan: asesmen kontekstual, intervensi berbasis simbolik-naratif, dan refleksi pemaknaan hidup pascabencana. Temuan ini merekomendasikan kepada konselor sekolah untuk memperhatikan nilai kearifan lokal dalam mengembangkan kesejahteraan psikologis.
