Strength-based parenting dan self-compassion pada mahasiswa

Abstract

Self-compassion diperlukan sebagai faktor proteksi terhadap stres dan depresi yang sering terjadi pada masa pandemi COVID-19. Self-compassion adalah perasaan belas kasih yang ditujukan kepada diri sendiri terutama pada saat menghadapi kesulitan ataupun kegagalan. Strength-based parenting (SBP) berpotensi mempengaruhi self-compassion karena orangtua dengan sengaja memperhatikan kekuatan anak daripada kelemahannya (strength-knowledge) dan mendorong anak untuk menggunakan kekuatannya tersebut (strength-use). Berdasarkan hasil kuesioner yang disebarkan secara daring kepada 180 orang mahasiswa di Surabaya (16-22 tahun) terungkap bahwa SBP mempengaruhi self-compassion secara signifikan dengan kontribusi sebesar 12,5%. Strength-knowledge merupakan prediktor yang signifikan bagi self-compassion yang berarti bahwa pemahaman orangtua akan kelebihan anak dapat meningkatkan self-compassion mahasiswa. Penelitian selanjutnya dapat menggali lebih jauh keterkaitan antara SBP, self-compassion, kesejahteraan, tingkat kecemasan dan depresi yang dialami oleh mahasiswa selama masa pandemic sebagai upaya untuk meningkatkan kesehatan mentalnya.

Strength-Based Parenting, Self-Compassion, and the Urge to Self-Injure in University Students

“…Considering that the direct effect was not significant, but the indirect effect was significant, it concludes that the influence of SBP on the urge to self-injure was fully mediated by self-compassion, and therefore the hypothesis was confirmed. This study's result supports the previous finding, which revealed a positive relationship between SBP and self-compassion (Ratna et al, 2021). Parents who are perceived as practicing positive parenting (in this case, parents who recognize and support children's strengths) are likely to encourage their children to have a positive view of themselves and become self-compassionate individuals.…”

“…The Urge to Self-Injure in University Students Jurnal Psikologi, 2022 (October), Vol. 21(2), 165-176 compassion (Ratna et al, 2021), and selfcompassion was found to be associated with the urge to self-injure (Xavier et al, 2016b); thus, this study hypothesized that SBP would affect the urge to self-injure through selfcompassion in university students.…”

“…The measure used in this study was a series of questionnaires consisting of three types of scales, i.e., Strength-Based Parenting Scale (SBPS; Waters, 2015a), Self-Compassion Scale (SCS; Neff, 2003), and Alexian Brothers Urge to Self-Injure Scale (ABUSI; Washburn et al, 2010). SBPS and SCS had been translated into Indonesian in previous studies (Ratna et al, 2021;Sumargi & Giovanni, 2021), while ABUSI was translated by researchers into Indonesian and went through a review and back translation process by a competent expert in Indonesian and English.…”

“…Parents may cultivate this attitude by focusing on their children's positive qualities instead of their weaknesses and flaws. The positive attitude displayed by parents may be adopted and internalized by their children; thus, children who are in late adolescence maintain focus on their strengths, are appreciative towards themselves and are less likely to self-blame (Ratna et al, 2021).…”

“…Research on SBP shows that SBP has a positive impact on adolescent well-being (Sumargi & Giovanni, 2021) and self-esteem (Sumargi & Firlita, 2020). SBP was also found to be positively associated with selfcompassion among university students (Ratna et al, 2021). Parents who support children's strength development are more likely to encourage their children to feel positive about themselves, to be warm and self-accepting, as well as to be non-judgmental.…”
