Abstract

Peningkatan jumlah lansia di Indonesia berdampak pada meningkatnya kebutuhan perawatan, terutama yang dilakukan oleh keluarga sebagai caregiver utama. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami tantangan yang dihadapi caregiver keluarga dalam merawat lansia berusia 75–90 tahun, serta mengidentifikasi strategi coping yang digunakan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik wawancara mendalam kepada caregiver keluarga di Desa Sukajaya, Kabupaten Bandung Barat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa caregiver keluarga menghadapi tantangan yang mencakup aspek fisik, psikologis, sosial, dan ekonomi. Tantangan fisik berupa kelelahan akibat intensitas perawatan sehari-hari, sedangkan tantangan psikologis ditandai dengan stres, kecemasan, serta kelelahan emosional. Dari sisi sosial, caregiver sering merasakan kurangnya dukungan dari keluarga maupun lingkungan sekitar, sementara tantangan ekonomi berkaitan dengan keterbatasan biaya perawatan lansia. Meskipun demikian, caregiver tetap mampu menjalankan perannya melalui strategi coping, baik problem-focused coping seperti mencari informasi dan memanfaatkan layanan kesehatan, maupun emotion-focused coping berupa doa, penerimaan kondisi, serta dukungan sosial dan religiusitas. Kesimpulannya, tantangan yang paling menonjol dialami caregiver adalah kelelahan fisik dan tekanan psikologis, sedangkan strategi coping yang dominan digunakan adalah dukungan sosial dan nilai religius. Temuan ini menegaskan perlunya dukungan dari keluarga, masyarakat, maupun pemerintah untuk meringankan tantangan caregiver sehingga kualitas pengasuhan lansia dapat lebih optimal. The increasing number of elderly people in Indonesia has led to a growing need for caregiving, particularly by family members as the primary caregivers. This study aims to explore the challenges faced by family caregivers in providing care for elderly individuals aged 75–90 years, as well as to identify the coping strategies they employ. A descriptive qualitative method was used, with in-depth interviews conducted with family caregivers in Sukajaya Village, West Bandung Regency. The findings reveal that family caregivers encounter challenges across physical, psychological, social, and economic aspects. Physical challenges include fatigue due to the intensity of daily caregiving tasks, while psychological challenges are marked by stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. Social challenges arise from the lack of support from other family members and the surrounding community, whereas economic challenges are related to limited financial resources for elderly care. Nevertheless, caregivers manage to fulfill their roles through coping strategies, including problem-focused coping such as seeking information and utilizing health services, as well as emotion-focused coping such as prayer, acceptance, social support, and religiosity. In conclusion, the most prominent challenges experienced by caregivers are physical fatigue and psychological pressure, while the dominant coping strategies involve social support and religious values. These findings emphasize the importance of support from families, communities, and the government to ease the challenges of family caregivers and improve the quality of elderly care.
