The main focus of this research is to evaluate whether the application of counseling techniques based on a client-centered approach can improve students’ self-concept compared to the control group who did not receive treatment. This research is a quantitative research using a quasi experimental method (quasi experimental design) with a two group design (between subject design). The population of this research was 53 students from classes IX-B and X-D. The sample used was purposive sampling. So 10 research samples were taken with a high level of saturation, namely 5 students from the experimental group (IX-B) and 5 children from the control class (IX-D). The research instrument used here is in the form of a questionnaire. The results of this study show that preliminary data shows that before treatment, the majority of students were in the low category (< 76%) in self-concept, with the experimental group showing two students in the low category while the control group were all in the high category (> 79%) . After implementing the client centered approach in group counseling, the experimental group showed significant improvements; only one student was still in the low category, while the control group remained in the high category without any significant changes. The results of this study concluded that the client centered approach was effective in increasing students’ self-concept, in contrast to the control group which did not show changes in self-concept categories.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus represents a persistent metabolic dysfunction marked by elevated blood glucose levels attributable to insulin resistance. Geriatrics pertains specifically to individuals aged 60 years and older. Managing diabetes mellitus necessitates intricate therapeutic interventions, often comprising single or combined pharmacological agents aimed at achieving euglycemia. The concurrent administration of multiple medications, termed polypharmacy, amplifies the likelihood of pharmacological interactions. This investigation endeavors to delineate potential drug interactions observed in geriatric inpatients afflicted with type 2 diabetes mellitus at Dr. Moewardi Regional General Hospital in Surakarta throughout the calendar year 2023. The study adopted a descriptive observational design employing a cross-sectional approach. Data collection was conducted retrospectively through purposive sampling based on the medical records of geriatric patients at Dr. Moewardi Regional General Hospital in Surakarta. Inclusion criteria encompassed patients aged 60 years and older diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus who had been hospitalized. Exclusion criteria included incomplete or illegible medical records, patients diagnosed with anemia and hemoglobinopathies, and those who expired during treatment. The findings revealed that out of 100 patients, 96 experienced drug interactions. Most patients (47.00%) were aged between 66 and 74 years. Females constituted a larger proportion (51.00%) of the patient cohort. Among hospitalized patients, 83 (83.00%) were admitted for 2-6 days. A total of 70 patients (70.00%) were prescribed between 4 and 13 medications. The predominant severity level of drug interactions was moderate, comprising 1,017 cases (74.60%).
