INTRODUCTION
Adolescence is a period of transition
from children to adults. This period begins
around the age of 12 years and ends at the
age of 18 to 21 years. (Adolescence is a
time of rebirth and storms and stress, while
turbulent times are also marked by conflict
and mood swings (Shane & Heckhausen,
2019). This makes teenagers tend to find it
difficult to manage stress or problems,
which causes anxiety, social problems or
mental problems that are more serious or
more extreme (Mukolo, Heflinger, &
Wallston, 2010). Based on information from
Basic Health Research data that the
prevalence of emotional mental disorders
with symptoms of depression and anxiety
in adolescents aged more than 15 years is
9.8%, where this number has increased
compared to 2013 which was 6.1% (Bethell,
Gombojav, Solloway, & Wissow, 2016).
Adolescents need the support of
parents or families who love them, provide
perfection, consistency, and genuine and
empathetic correspondence (Berger,
Hasking, & Martin, 2013); (Jones, 2015).
This is also supported by other research
which states that when the teenager has a
stable and supportive family, the teenager
has a better reaction to stress (Sumter,
Bokhorst, Miers, Van Pelt, & Westenberg,
2010); (Corr et al., 2021).
In fact, not all teenagers can live and
stay with their parents or family, for
example, teenagers who live in orphanages.
Adolescents who live in orphanages are
generally included in the children at risk
group (Bender, Yang, Ferguson, &
Thompson, 2015), where these adolescents
tend to have a greater chance of
experiencing shocks in terms of emotions,
intellectuals, social and behavior (Hari,
Henriksson, Malinen, & Parkkonen, 2015).
This is because in addition to the lack of
attachment between caregivers and foster
children, what is visible is that they must be
able to survive in an orphanage
environment with all applicable guidelines
or regulations, limited activities and
facilities.
The RI Ministry of Social Affairs and
UNICEF research explains that orphanages
in Indonesia are less centered on care, but
only focus on providing services and access
to education for their foster children (Font
Berger, Cancian, & Noyes, 2018). This
condition is considered a stressful event
and causes stress in adolescents
(Mannarino & Cohen, 2011).
Teenagers living in orphanages need
the ability to survive, and to be strong in
the face of obstacles and problems. This
ability is known as resilience. Adolescents
who have high resilience have criteria,
namely having the ability to face problems
and adapt to unpleasant conditions, have
the ability to adapt to themselves in dealing
with stressful life experiences and have the
ability to deal with conditions that have
caused mental stress (Updegraff & Taylor,
2021). In addition, other studies have
shown that adolescents living in difficult
conditions can successfully determine their
path to sustainable health and improve
well-being within themselves, both in
orphanages and in their
communities(Yendork & Somhlaba, 2014).
(Waaktaar & Torgersen, 2010)explained
that there are five aspects of resilience,
namely: a). personal competence, high
standards, and persistence; b). self-
