This condition can negatively affect mental health, learning concentration, and quality of life. One non-pharmacological intervention that can be used to reduce stress levels is Focus Group Discussion (FGD) Therapy, a group-based intervention that allows adolescents to share experiences, express their feelings, and receive support from their peers. This study aimed to determine the effect of Focus Group Discussion Therapy on stress levels among adolescents at SMA Negeri 4 Pekanbaru. This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 40 respondents selected using stratified random sampling. Stress levels were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that the mean stress score before the intervention was 30.10 ± 4.717, which decreased to 24.85 ± 3.676 after the implementation of Focus Group Discussion Therapy. The Wilcoxon test revealed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant effect of Focus Group Discussion Therapy on reducing stress levels among adolescents at SMA Negeri 4 Pekanbaru. In conclusion, Focus Group Discussion Therapy is effective in reducing stress levels among adolescents and may be considered a nursing intervention to promote adolescent mental health in the school setting.
