Abstract

This study is motivated by the importance of mindfulness in supporting the psychological well-being of students—specifically those in the Guidance and Counseling program—who face various academic, social, and personal development demands as aspiring counselors. The study aims to determine the relationship between mindfulness and the psychological well-being of Guidance and Counseling students (Class of 2025) at Sanata Dharma University, Yogyakarta. This study employs a quantitative approach using a correlational research design. The subjects were Guidance and Counseling students from the Class of 2025 at Sanata Dharma University, Yogyakarta. Data collection was conducted using self-report psychological scales for mindfulness and psychological well-being. The research instruments met validity criteria and demonstrated good reliability, with Cronbach's Alpha coefficients of α = 0.838 for the mindfulness scale and α = 0.911 for the psychological well-being scale. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman’s Rho correlation technique via JASP software (version 0.19.1.0). The results indicate that the students' levels of mindfulness and psychological well-being both fall into the moderate category. Hypothesis testing revealed a correlation coefficient of 0.552 with a significance value of p < 0.001, indicating a significant positive relationship of moderate strength between mindfulness and the students' psychological well-being. These findings suggest that higher levels of mindfulness are associated with higher levels of psychological well-being among the students. Thus, mindfulness serves as a contributing factor in supporting the psychological well-being of Guidance and Counseling students (Class of 2025) at Sanata Dharma University, Yogyakarta.
