Demographic Influences on the Perceived Efficacy of Psychological Counseling in Sri Lanka: A Quantitative Study

Author(s) Ms. Dulshani Wasana Martinus
Country Sweden
Abstract This study was designed to analyze the impact of demographic factors on people's perception of the effectiveness of psychological counseling in Sri Lanka. A quantitative design study with 100 participants from different demographic groups in the Western Province was conducted. Focus of the study was on the demographic variables of the respondents and their perception and the research involved descriptive and inferential statistical analyses (e.g., Chi-square tests) to identify the relationships. According to the study, younger individuals, females, people with a higher level of education, and married individuals were more likely to state that they had experienced counseling services to a higher extent. However, the researchers found that religious affiliation, employment status, and geographical location had only a very slight impact on the results. The study indicates that not only should counseling be culturally sensitive but also age-appropriate, and that there should be more service provisions in the villages so that people can have access to them. Therefore, demographic factors play an important role in enhancing effectiveness in the development of a counseling program. This would hopefully lead to future research into the long-term effects of counseling and how digital platforms can contribute to upgrading mental health services within diverse communities in Sri Lanka.
