Hubungan antara Dukungan Sosial dengan Empty Nest Syndrome pada Wanita Dewasa Madya di Kelurahan Kwala Bingat Kecamatan Stabat

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi hubungan antara dukungan sosial dengan empty nest syndrome pada wanita dewasa madya di Kelurahan Kwala Bingai, Kecamatan Stabat. Populasi penelitian mencakup 1.656 wanita dewasa madya yang berdomisili di wilayah tersebut, dengan sampel berjumlah 157 responden. Penentuan sampel menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui dua instrumen utama: skala empty nest syndrome yang diadaptasi dari penelitian Mutmainnah (2024) berdasarkan aspek-aspek empty nest syndrome menurut Borland (Yuni Yu, 2024) dengan 19 aitem dan koefisien reliabilitas α = 0,833, serta skala dukungan sosial yang diadaptasi dari penelitian Ramli et al. (2024) berdasarkan aspek-aspek dukungan sosial Cohen & Hoberman (1983) dengan 35 aitem dan koefisien reliabilitas α = 0,962. Analisis data menggunakan korelasi product moment yang menunjukkan adanya hubungan negatif signifikan antara dukungan sosial dengan empty nest syndrome (rxy = -0,817; p = 0,001 < 0,01). Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa dukungan sosial memberikan kontribusi sebesar 66,7% terhadap empty nest syndrome, sementara 33,3% sisanya dipengaruhi faktor lain seperti usia, kondisi kesehatan, dan kehilangan hubungan dekat. This study aims to identify the relationship between social support and empty nest syndrome in middle-aged women in Kwala Bingai Village, Stabat District. The study population included 1,656 middle-aged women residing in the area, with a sample of 157 respondents. The sample determination used a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was carried out through two main instruments: an empty nest syndrome scale adapted from Mutmainnah's (2024) study based on aspects of empty nest syndrome according to Borland (Yuni Yu, 2024) with 19 items and a reliability coefficient of α = 0.833, and a social support scale adapted from Ramli et al.'s (2024) study based on aspects of social support by Cohen & Hoberman (1983) with 35 items and a reliability coefficient of α = 0.962. Data analysis using product-moment correlation showed a significant negative relationship between social support and empty nest syndrome (rxy = -0.817; p = 0.001 < 0.01). This finding indicates that social support contributes 66.7% to empty nest syndrome, while the remaining 33.3% is influenced by other factors such as age, health conditions, and loss of close relationships.
