Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This study aimed to explore whether the Se-Re-Co psychosocial skills intervention will improve self-esteem, resilience, and coping skills for street children. Using pre- and post-experimental and control group design, 24 male and female street children were assigned to the experimental group and the control group to participate in this study. The participants completed a self-report questionnaire that measured three variables, self-esteem, resilience, and coping skills. This was done pre-testing and post-testing of both groups. The results revealed significant statistical differences between the experimental group and control group on self-esteem [F (1,21) = 25.16, p < .000], coping skills [F (1,21) = 33.71, p < .000] but no significant statistical difference in resilience [F (1,21) = 7.44, p < .079]. The results conclude that street children who participated in the Se-Re-Co psychosocial skills intervention reported improved self-esteem and coping skills.
