Bio Psycho Socio Spiritual Intervention Model for Adolescent Impulsivity Management in Digital Era

Abstract

The escalation of impulsive behavior and digital addiction among adolescents in institutional care has become a pressing multidimensional clinical phenomenon in Indonesia. The complex interaction between primary attachment deficits and massive exposure to social media algorithms that exploit the dopaminergic system creates a double vulnerability including delayed maturity of executive functions in the prefrontal cortex and an acute void of spiritual meaning. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and explore the dynamics of behavioral change through an integrative Bio Psycho Socio Spiritual intervention model. Utilizing a descriptive case study design with ten adolescent participants at Orphanage X, this research gathered data through intensive participant observation, in-depth clinical interviews, and focus group discussions. The thematic analysis identified four fundamental mechanisms of change including neurobiological literacy, behavioral rehearsal, peer support engineering, and the internalization of God-consciousness. The results indicate that integrating neuroscientific understanding and Islamic spiritual values effectively transforms external compliance into resilient intrinsic self-regulation. This study concludes that a holistic approach addressing biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions is essential for managing adolescent impulsivity in the digital age.
