EKSPLORASI PERUBAHAN PERAN KEPALA KELUARGA NARAPIDANA KASUS KELALAIAN DALAM BERKENDARA (STUDI FENOMENOLOGI: LEMBAGA PEMASYARAKATAN KELAS IIB SLEMAN)NIM.: 22102050038Ariqah FawziaauthorThis study was motivated by the phenomenon of prisoners who are heads of households and who worry about the well-being of family members they have left behind as a result of their imprisonment. The purpose of this study is to understand how prisoners heads of households interpret the role changes they face while serving their sentences in prison. This study employs a qualitative research design with a phenomenological approach. The research subjects were selected using purposive sampling, with the criteria for informants being inmates convicted of negligent driving who also serve as heads of households. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings indicate that the status of being a head of household plays a crucial role in family dynamics, particularly in meeting needs, making decisions, and protecting family members. Changes and shifts in roles during the period of imprisonment do not eliminate the subject’s role as head of the household. The physical distance separating the subject from their family does not sever the bonds between family members, interactions and relationships among family members remain intact through the use of prison facilities. The use of public telephone booths and visitation services supports the subject in fulfilling the roles and responsibilities of a head of the household, even though the implementation is only symbolic in nature.362 Kesejahteraan Sosial, Permasalahan dan Layanan Sosial2026-07-16UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS DAKWAH DAN KOMUNIKASIThesis
