ABSTRAK

Infertilitas merupakan kondisi yang dapat menyebabkan permasalahan psikologis. Pada pasangan yang mengalami infertilitas, kecemasan dan distres (infertility-related stress) menjadi masalah psikologis yang sering dialami. Meski infertilitas dapat disebabkan oleh berbagai faktor, perempuan menjadi pihak yang lebih terbebani dalam menghadapi infertilitas. Untuk membantu menurunkan kecemasan dan infertility-related stress perempuan yang mengalami infertilitas, peneliti menggunakan intervensi Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan desain penelitian quasi experiment dengan metode pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group. Sebanyak lima orang partisipan terlibat dalam penelitian dengan dua orang partisipan kelompok eksperimen dan tiga orang partisipan kelompok kontrol. Pengukuran efektivitas intervensi dilakukan menggunakan State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) dan The Fertility Problem Inventory (FPI). Peneliti juga menggunakan alat ukur The Positive Negative Affective Scale (PANAS) untuk mengukur afek positif dan afek negatif partisipan kelompok eksperimen selama mengikuti sesi intervensi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa partisipan kelompok eksperimen yang mendapat intervensi ACT selama lima sesi mengalami penurunan kecemasan dan infertility-related stress. Pada partisipan kelompok eksperimen juga ditemukan bahwa ACT dapat menurunkan afek negatif dan meningkatkan atau menstabilkan afek positif partisipan. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa intervensi ACT efektif dalam menurunkan kecemasan dan infertility-related stress pada perempuan yang mengalami infertilitas.

Measurements of the effectiveness of the intervention were carried out using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and The Fertility Problem Inventory (FPI). The researcher also used the The Positive Negative Affective Scale (PANAS) to measure the positive affect and negative affect of the experimental group participants during the intervention session. The results of this study indicate that the experimental group participants who received ACT intervention experienced decreased anxiety and infertility-related stress.

The recent studies have concluded that older adults with declining health conditions tend to have a negative self perception of aging. On the other hand, social relationship of people nearby can improve self perceptions of aging. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between perceived social support and self-perception of aging in older adults with chronic illness. This study hypothesized that perceived social support correlates positively and significantly with self perception of aging. The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) is used to measure perceived social support and Attitudes Toward Own Aging (ATOA) is used to measure self perception of aging. 127 older adults are involved in this study, consisting of 46 males (36,2%) and 81 females (63,8%). Based on statistical analysis using Pearson Correlation, it is found that perceived social support correlate positively and significantly with self perception of aging (r=0,250; n=127; p<0,01, one tailed).
