<![CDATA[Women who become caregivers can face various risks, including physical, mental, and social risks. This often makes caregivers neglect their own condition, so that they feel have lost a clear direction or purpose in life, experience bad emotional experiences, or feel that their life is not enjoyable. The meaning of life is a source of strength for caregivers to fulfil their role. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the meaning of life of young adult women who are caregivers for their family members who suffer from chronic diseases. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 3 young adult women who were then analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). The results of this study indicate that the meaning of life in young adult female caregivers is achieved through the task of care, self-sacrifice, going through a period of suffering, self-reflection, and caregivers can see patients who are treated successfully recover slowly. The meaning of life found in participants is committed to caring for patients, being a useful person, and having gratitude. This study also found unique meanings from each participant such as creating a work, self-acceptance, and growing trust in God. The meaning of life of three participants was influenced by two factors, namely internal and external. Internal factors include having good emotional problem solving, positive thoughts, and broad insight. External factors include social support.]]>
