Abstract
Elderly commonly encounter various challenges related to negative emotional states. Previous research highlights the crucial role of family support in mitigating these issues among the elderly. This study investigates the correlation between family resilience and negative emotional states. Employing a quantitative research design, the study included 30 elderly participants from Aisyiyah Banyumas selected through random sampling. Two instruments were utilized: the Walsh Family Resilience Questionnaire and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale. The findings indicate a weak and statistically insignificant relationship between family resilience and negative emotional states (depression, anxiety, and stress) among the elderly in Aisyiyah Banyumas, with correlation coefficients of 0.204, 0.036, and 0.056 respectively. Additionally, a majority of participants (56.67%) reported that religious practices such as prayer, reliance on God, and engaging in religious rituals like nightly prayers and Quran recitation are commonly used coping strategies during stressful situations. These results suggest a need for further research exploring the impact of spiritual factors on negative emotional states in the elderly.
