Pengaruh Fungsi Keluarga, Dukungan Sosial, dan Beban Perawatan terhadap Ketahanan Keluarga yang tinggal bersama Lansia

Abstrak

As Indonesia enters the era of an aging society, protecting the elderly becomes
increasingly important, particularly for family members who serve as primary
caregivers. This study aims to analyze the impact of family characteristics,
elderly characteristics, family functions, social support, and caregiving
burden on family resilience. The research sample consisted of families with
elderly members in the household, focusing specifically on wives as
respondents in the Kemang District, Bogor Regency. We collected data
through direct interviews with 120 respondents and analyzed them using
descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The findings reveal that family
function and social support have a significant and positive impact on family
resilience. These factors contribute to the family's ability to adapt, cope, and
maintain stability despite the challenges of caring for elderly members.
Conversely, the burden of caregiving has a significant negative impact on
family resilience, indicating that higher caregiving demands can strain family
resources and emotional well-being. This study underscores the importance of
strengthening family functions and enhancing social support systems to
bolster family resilience in the face of aging-related challenges. Addressing
these factors can help to improve the quality of care for the elderly and support
the well-being of families in Indonesia's aging society.
