Abstract

This study aims to examine the social adaptation process of the elderly living in Harapan Ibu Nursing Home in Semarang City. The elderly as a late adult age group face various physical, psychological, and social changes that affect their well-being, especially when they have to live in a new environment such as a nursing home. Using a phenomenological qualitative approach, data were obtained through interviews and observations of five elderly participants who met the purposive sampling criteria. The results showed that elderly social adaptation includes three main aspects: strong and balanced affection, mature and integrated personality, and the ability to establish healthy social relationships. Most of the elderly showed good emotional coping skills through self-acceptance, gratitude, and self-control, although some of them experienced difficulties in forming meaningful social relationships. Life experiences, social environment and coping strategies were key in their adjustment process. These findings emphasize the importance of positive social support in the nursing home environment for older adults to achieve optimal psychosocial well-being.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of spirituality in the completion of psychosocial developmental tasks of the elderly at the stage of integrity versus hopelessness as described in Erik Erikson's theory. A qualitative approach with a phenomenological design was used to understand the meaning of the spiritual experiences of the elderly living in Wisma Harapan Asri. Data collection techniques were conducted through semi-structured interviews and observation, then analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The results of the thematic analysis show that spirituality plays an important role in achieving self-integrity, as seen from self-acceptance, wisdom, meaning of life, and readiness to face death. Participants indicated that the practice of worship, closeness to God, and reflection on the meaning of life helped them manage physical limitations, feelings of loneliness, and existential uncertainty. The findings confirm that spirituality is not just a religious activity, but a foundation of psychological resilience that strengthens older adults' mental well-being and acceptance of the past and end of life. This study contributes to gerontological psychology by emphasizing the importance of psychospiritual interventions in supporting older adults in institutional settings.
