Unsyiah menjalin kerja sama penelitian internasional dengan melakukan adaptasi model intervensi berbasis sekolah yaitu Safe Communities Safe Schools (SCSS). Penelitian SCSS ini dilakukan melalui kegiatan kerja sama dengan Dignity Instutite, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence (CSPV), University of Colorado, Universitas Indonesia, dan Unsyiah. Penelitian ini didanai oleh Botnar Foundation Swiss dengan anggaran penelitian sebesar 2.000.000 CHF selama lima tahun.

Rina Suryani Oktari, S.Kep., M.Si, salah satu tim peneliti dari FK Unsyiah mengatakan penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan well being anak-anak dan keluarganya, serta  ketahanan dan keamanan masyarakat melalui intervensi dasar yang dilakukan di sekolah.  Sebab saat ini, kekerasan kepada anak dan remaja semakin sering terjadi. Selain itu, kecanggihan teknologi juga membuka peluang dan ancaman, sehingga berdampak bagi pertumbuhan mereka.

Sebagai langkah awal, ia bersama peneliti lainnya, Haiyun Nisa, S.Psi., M.Psi., Psikolog, telah berkunjung ke University Colorado pada September lalu. Selanjutnya, peneliti dari Dignity Institute, University of Copenhagen, dan University of Colorado akan mengunjungi Banda Aceh dan Depok pada Januari 2020 nanti.

“Penelitian ini membuka peluang dan tawaran kepada banyak pihak untuk terlibat dalam penelitian, sebagai site coordinator, research assistant dan  translator, “ ujar Rina dalam siaran persnya kepada Humas Unsyiah, Jumat 6 Desember 2019.

Selain itu lanjutnya, proyek ini juga menawarkan program bagi mahasiswa S3 Unsyiah (program doktoral) untuk menjadi bagian dari kegiatan penelitian ini. Kesempatan lain juga diberikan bagi lulusan S3 untuk mengambil peran di program Post Doc. Keduanya akan berkesempatan mengikuti pelatihan selama tiga bulan di University of Colorado.

Untuk itu, bagi yang ingin terlibat dalam penelitian ini, Rina membuka peluang secara terbuka. Bagi mereka yang tertarik, informasi lebih lanjut dapat menghubungi  okta@usk.ac.id atau haiyunnisa@usk.ac.id. (Humas Unsyiah/fer)
