One of the crisis phases in families entering the middle age phase is the feeling of losing their role in raising children and feeling empty because the children no longer live in the same house. This term is known as empty nest syndrome. Self-acceptance and emotional regulation play an essential role in the impact of empty nest syndrome experienced by older adults. This research aims to prove the further impact of self-acceptance and emotional regulation on the experience of empty nest syndrome in older adults. The author adapted the scales of self-acceptance, emotional regulation, and empty nest syndrome. The research respondents were 30 older people at the Siti Anna Bangka Belitung Retirement Home. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling. The results of multiple linear regression analysis show that self-acceptance and emotional regulation are related to empty nest syndrome, and simultaneously, self-acceptance, emotional regulation, and empty nest syndrome are significantly associated with each other.

Conclusion

This research found a correlation between self-acceptance and empty nest syndrome, and between emotional regulation and empty nest syndrome.These three variables—self-acceptance, emotional regulation, and empty nest syndrome—are interconnected simultaneously.The findings suggest that retirement home residents with a good balance between self-acceptance and emotional regulation tend to experience lower levels of empty nest syndrome than residents with a poor balance.

Future Research

Penelitian lebih lanjut dapat dilakukan untuk mengeksplorasi secara mendalam faktor-faktor lain yang mungkin memengaruhi pengalaman empty nest syndrome pada lansia, seperti dukungan sosial dari keluarga dan komunitas, tingkat aktivitas fisik, serta kondisi kesehatan mental secara keseluruhan. Selain itu, penelitian dapat difokuskan pada pengembangan dan pengujian efektivitas intervensi psikologis yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan self-acceptance dan emotional regulation pada lansia yang mengalami empty nest syndrome, misalnya melalui pelatihan mindfulness atau terapi kelompok. Penelitian kualitatif juga dapat dilakukan untuk memahami secara lebih komprehensif pengalaman subjektif lansia dalam menghadapi empty nest syndrome, termasuk strategi koping yang mereka gunakan dan makna yang mereka berikan terhadap perubahan peran sebagai orang tua. Dengan demikian, hasil penelitian ini dapat memberikan kontribusi penting dalam pengembangan program-program yang lebih efektif untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan psikologis lansia dan membantu mereka beradaptasi dengan perubahan kehidupan di usia senja.
