Abstract
This study aims to determine the effect of Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) in reducing anxiety in unemployed pilot school graduates. The research method used in this study is to use an experimental research design. The research design that will be used in this study is a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population in this study were 9 graduates of the 2019 class of BIFA pilot school, while the sample was 3 graduates of the 2019 class of BIFA pilot school who were not yet working. And the results of this study state that there was a decrease in anxiety of 55% for the first subject, 32% for the second subject, and 51% for the third subject. This means that there is a change in reducing the level of anxiety in unemployed pilot school graduates after being given MBCT. Also MBCT is also able to reduce negative or dysfunctional thoughts. Aspects that decreased included aspects of labelling, catastrophizing, regret orientation, what if, mind reading, and should-must.
