Abstract
Insomnia among adolescents in Papua Mountains is increasingly prevalent and negatively affects cognitive performance and emotional well-being. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) therapy and 3 Hz frequency therapy in improving sleep quality among junior high school students with insomnia in 2024. A quasi-experimental study with a Non-Equivalent Control Group Design was conducted on 101 respondents selected through purposive sampling from three schools: Usilimo State Junior High School (n=35), Yapis Wamena Junior High School (n=33), and Sogokmo Adventist Junior High School (n=33). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results showed that SEFT therapy improved sleep quality with significant effects at Usilimo (p=0.003) and Yapis Wamena (p=0.025), but not at Sogokmo Adventist (p=0.083). In contrast, 3 Hz frequency therapy consistently demonstrated highly significant improvements across all schools (p<0.001). In conclusion, 3 Hz frequency therapy is more effective than SEFT therapy in improving sleep quality among adolescents with insomnia in Papua Mountains.
