RESILIENSI LANSIA DALAM MENGHADAPI KESEPIAN MELALUI PRAKTIK KEAGAMAANNIM.: 22105040003Latifa Yuniarti WulandariauthorThis study was motivated by the decline in social engagement among older adults, which is often triggered by the loss of loved ones or physical limitations and can lead to feelings of loneliness. If left unaddressed, this psychological condition can have a detrimental impact on their overall physical and mental health. This study aims to analyze how older adults demonstrate resilience in coping with loneliness through religious practices at UPT RPSLUT Budhi Dharma Yogyakarta and how religious practices support older adults’ resilience in facing loneliness. Previous studies on resilience in the elderly generally used quantitative methods and emphasized individual psychological factors (such as self-identity, social support, and well-being), but few have conducted qualitative research on how religious practices function as a coping mechanism to strengthen resilience in the elderly. Methodology the research method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach, in which primary data sources were obtained through field observations, interviews, and documentation, while secondary data sources were obtained from literature such as scientific journals, books, and institutional document archives. The subjects or informants in this study numbered ten people, consisting of 7 primary informants and 3 supporting informants, namely instructors of religious activities for Islam, Catholicism, and Christianity, using Purposive Sampling. The data analysis methods in this study include data reduction, data presentation,and drawing conclusions. This study employs Grotberg’s resilience theory, which encompasses three aspects: I Have (social support), I Am (personalstrength), and I Can (ability to act). The results of the study indicate that three aspects based on Grotberg’s theory shape resilience in older adults: external support (I Have), which takes the form of structured activities, guidance from staff, and social interaction; internal strength (I Am), demonstrated through selfacceptance, a positive mindset, and spiritual awareness; and adaptive ability (I Can), demonstrated through emotional regulation, social initiative, and active participation in institutional activities. Religious practices, such as group Quran recitation for Muslim older adults, spiritual guidance for Catholic and Christian older adults, and available facilities serve as supports for older adults’ resilience.306.6 Sosiologi - Agama2026-05-26UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS USHULUDDIN DAN PEMIKIRAN ISLAMThesis
