Abstract
The ego competency model (ECM) presented to students in a structured education program uses a pre-experimental design with a one group pre- and posttest approach to evaluate whether the ego competency model will result in an increase in ego competence while improving adaptive coping. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the ego competency model in improving students' ability to use coping mechanisms. A pre-experimental design with a pretest group and a posttest approach was chosen to carry out the study. A total of 30 students were selected using a simple random sampling technique while studying at selected private schools in Makassar for the ego competency model intervention (14 sessions; each learning session is 50 minutes). Primary outcomes will include post-intervention effects on students' use of adaptive coping mechanisms. The pretest mean for coping mechanisms was 3.77 ± 1.69, which increased to 8.97 ± 0.72 in the posttest. The results showed that the ego competency model was effective in improving students’ ability to use coping mechanisms was statistically significant, p = 0.001
