Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of mobile-based Islamic counseling in reducing homesickness and improving psychological well-being among first-year santri in Islamic boarding schools. The study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design, involving 80 santri who were divided into experimental and control groups. The research instruments consisted of homesickness and psychological well-being scales using a four-point Likert format that had been tested for validity and reliability. The results showed that the experimental group experienced a significant decrease in homesickness by 18.25 points and an increase in psychological well-being by 16.25 points, whereas the control group showed no significant changes. Statistical analysis indicated significant differences between the two groups after the intervention, with a substantial contribution of the intervention to changes in both variables. The findings suggest that mobile-based Islamic counseling is effective as an intervention to help santri manage feelings of homesickness while enhancing psychological well-being through the integration of psychological approaches and spiritual values. It is recommended that Islamic boarding schools develop and implement technology-based counseling services as a complement to traditional approaches. Additional findings revealed that the intervention contributed 40% to the reduction of homesickness and 43% to the improvement of psychological well-being, indicating a large effect size.
