Wulan Dayu, Roro Rian Agustin, Ratna Sari Hasibuan

Abstract


This study aims to enhance the creativity and entrepreneurial skills of housewives in Kota Pari Village, Pantai Cermin District, Serdang Bedagai Regency through decoupage training. The background of the study highlights the low levels of creativity and entrepreneurship among housewives in this area, which affects their economic opportunities. A quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest design was employed, involving 30 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via questionnaires, observations, and in-depth interviews, then analyzed using descriptive analysis and Paired Sample T-test. Results indicate a significant improvement in participants' creativity and entrepreneurial skills following the training, with p < 0.05, underscoring the effectiveness of the intervention. These findings emphasize the importance of training programs like decoupage in empowering housewives and support the theory that creativity and entrepreneurship can be fostered through appropriate interventions. The conclusions of this study hold important implications for developing economic empowerment programs in rural areas and provide a foundation for future research in the fields of entrepreneurship and community empowerment.
