Description

Objective: Teenagers are at high risk for drug addiction. Family resilience is important in preventing
adolescent involvement in drug abuse. This qualitative study aims to explore the experience of family
resilience based on the perspective of parents when their children are addicted to drugs.
Method: This qualitative study used a phenomenological method, involving eight participants based on
a purposive sampling technique with inclusion criteria of mothers who have experience caring for their
teenage children who have been addicted to drugs. Data qualitative was collected through in-depth
interviews, field notes and observations. The data collection process was discontinued after reaching
data saturation, namely after interviewing eight participants. The process of interpreting meaning is
carried out to obtain the significance of the results of in-depth interviews accompanied by triangulation
of methods and data using interpretive phenomenological analysis. Researchers strive to ensure the
validity and reliability of the study. This research was conducted for six months in mid-2019.
Result: This study resulted in five themes that can be categorized into one supporting theme and four
inhibiting themes. The supporting themes are acceptance of God’s destiny, while the themes of limited
financial conditions, lack of time together, the flexibility of a fragile family and harsh environment are
categorized as inhibiting themes.
Conclusion: Mothershave animportant role inoptimizing family resilience while caring for andimproving
the quality of life of their children who have experienced drug addiction.
