Assessing The Role of Counselling in Enhancing Quality of Life Among Adolescent Cohorts

This research investigates the influence of counselling interventions on the quality of life (QoL) among adolescents. Quality of life, a multidimensional construct encompassing physical health, psychological well-being, social relationships, and overall life satisfaction, is a crucial indicator of adolescent well-being and development. Counselling, as a form of psychotherapeutic intervention, offers a promising avenue for addressing psychosocial challenges and promoting holistic well-being among adolescents. Using a quantitative research approach, this study employs pre- and post-intervention assessments to measure changes in various domains of quality of life among adolescents who receive counselling. A group of 30 participants are selected from diverse backgrounds and settings, reflecting the heterogeneity of the adolescent population. The Quality of Life Scale, developed by Dubey and Dwivedi, was utilized to assess happiness before and after the six-days counselling intervention, with each session lasting one hour per day. The Counselling interventions are tailored to address individual needs and concerns, with a focus on enhancing coping skills, emotional regulation, interpersonal relationships, and overall psychosocial functioning. Statistical analyses, including paired-sample are conducted to evaluate the impact of counselling on different dimensions of quality of life. The results indicate that there is significant impact of counselling in increasing happiness among adolescents. The study aims to contribute empirical evidence supporting the effectiveness of counselling in improving the quality of life among adolescents, with implications for mental health interventions, school-based counselling programs, and youth development initiatives. By elucidating the mechanisms underlying the relationship between counselling and adolescent quality of life, this research seeks to inform evidence-based practices aimed at enhancing adolescent quality of life.
