This study explores the application of Reality Therapy using the WDEP (Wants, Doing, Evaluation, Planning) technique to improve self-esteem among People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) at the Panti Sosial Bina Insan Bangun Daya II in East Jakarta. As PLWHA often face stigma, rejection, and psychological distress, self-esteem becomes a crucial component for mental resilience and social reintegration. This quasi-experimental research employed a pre-test and post-test control group design, involving five selected participants diagnosed with HIV/AIDS aged 18 and above. The intervention consisted of ten group counseling sessions focusing on helping participants identify their goals, assess current behaviors, and plan realistic strategies for change. Self-esteem levels were measured using the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (CSEI). Pre-test results indicated low levels of self-esteem, with an average score of 31. Following the intervention, the post-test average rose to 48, signifying a 54% improvement and placing participants in the high self-esteem category. Qualitative observations during therapy sessions revealed significant behavioral transformations, including increased emotional regulation, social interaction, self-acceptance, responsibility, and future orientation. The findings demonstrate that Reality Therapy with WDEP is an effective, culturally adaptable approach to psychological rehabilitation in institutional settings. It not only enhances self-esteem but also empowers PLWHA to rebuild their sense of self-worth, establish supportive relationships, and envision a hopeful future. The study contributes to expanding evidence-based psychosocial interventions for marginalized populations in Indonesia.

The study confirms that Reality Therapy with the WDEP technique is an effective intervention for improving the self-esteem of PLWHA in social institutional settings.The intervention significantly improved participants self-perception and evaluative attitudes toward themselves, moving them from low to high self-esteem.Furthermore, participants demonstrated noticeable behavioral and emotional transformations, including enhanced emotional regulation, social interaction, and a renewed sense of optimism.These findings reinforce the relevance of Reality Therapy and the WDEP system in promoting psychological empowerment and well-being among marginalized populations.

Further research should investigate the long-term effects of this intervention by implementing longitudinal studies and expanding the sample size to enhance generalizability. Additionally, exploring the integration of Reality Therapy with vocational training programs could provide PLWHA with practical skills and opportunities for economic independence, fostering a more holistic approach to rehabilitation. Finally, future studies could examine the effectiveness of incorporating family therapy or spiritual counseling alongside Reality Therapy to address the complex socio-cultural factors influencing the psychological well-being of PLWHA in Indonesia, ultimately contributing to more comprehensive and culturally sensitive support systems.
