Regarding this issue, the present study strived for analyzing the effectiveness of the Islamic-based Solution Focused Brief Counseling (SFBC) group counseling to increase the hardiness and self-efficacy of students at MTs Negeri 2 Brebes. An experimental method with the design of pretest-posttest control group was employed by involving 16 students. Based on the Wilcoxon test, the Islamic-based SFBC group counseling could increase the hardiness and self-efficacy of students at MTs Negeri 2 Brebes. Thus, the future studies can use SFBC counseling to increase matters related to human perspectives, such as self-confidence.
