OVERCOMING STRESS DISORDERS BY INCREASING SELF-DISCLOSURE IN ADOLESCENTS: SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

This research aims to identify the factors that cause low self-disclosure, the relationship between self-disclosure and stress disorders, and to enhance self-disclosure. This study uses a systematic literature review method. This research article was obtained through PubMed, Scopus, Wiley, and Garuda. The literature search used the keywords self-disclosure, stress, and adolescents with inclusion criteria of adolescent population, research from 2015-2025, and research articles. Data analysis yielded 6 relevant literatures that met the inclusion criteria. Based on the results of the literature review, it is explained that the factors causing low self-disclosure include feelings of insecurity and fear of opening up to others, closed communication between parents and adolescents, and a privacy attitude that makes teenagers reluctant to share their problems with others. This study proves that low self-disclosure will lead to certain psychological pressures, resulting in stress disorders in adolescents. Therefore, a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy counseling approach is necessary to enhance self-disclosure among adolescents. It is concluded that it is important to enhance self-disclosure among adolescents. Adolescents are encouraged to build good social relationships so that they can express their problems to others, thereby reducing the stress symptoms caused by low self-disclosure
