2024-08-13T02:41:25+00:00

The presence of children is interpreted as the hope of the family, the successor of
offspring, and the bearer of happiness and blessings. But along with the times, many
married couples choose not to have children, this is certainly contrary to the
construction of Indonesian society related to the concept of the ideal family. This can be
seen from the decline in Total Fertility Rate in Indonesia. This study used descriptive
quantitative methods with purposive sampling techniques based on criteria, namely
women aged 27-35 years who belonged to the millennial generation, a total of 50
respondents. Primary data sources through online penelitians. This study uses Schmitt
& Schmitt's theory of direct and constructive perception to see the influence of internal
and external factors in the formation of perception. The results show that individual
internal and external factors influence millennial women's perceptions of the presence
of children in marriage. Then, the millennial generation, which prioritizes maturity,
stability and readiness from various factors, interprets the presence of children in the
family as not a necessity and does not make children the only source of happiness even
though it is undeniable that children become a complement to the family. Further
studies are needed to obtain more comprehensive data. In addition, premarital
education and counseling programs, gender equality campaigns, community support
and social networks can be used as recommendations.

2024-08-22T05:17:54+00:00

The social support received by people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) plays a very important role in increasing their self-confidence and meaning of life and enabling them to continue their lives. The purpose of this study is to describe the social support received by PLWHA in Garut Regency as a strategy that can be used to prevent lost of follow-up antiretroviral therapy for PLWHA. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method. The informant selection technique in this study used purposive sampling, with the number of informants obtained reaching as many as 10 people. Data collection in this study was obtained from in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation studies. The location of this research was Garut Regency. The study results indicate that LTFU is a big challenge for PLWHA. First, the side effects that are caused by PLWHA make PLWHA feel uncomfortable. PLWHA prefer to stop taking medication because they are unable to overcome the side effects of ARV therapy. Second, the stigma and discrimination attached to PLWHA also make them lazy to continue their treatment because they are embarrassed and do not want to get stigma and discrimination, which makes PLWHA choose to stop their treatment. Social support, especially from family members, played a major role in PLWHA's being able to consistently undergo ARV therapy. The family member who knows about PLWHA's condition helps remind PLWHA to always take medication and check their health condition routinely at the hospital. In addition, social support from NGOs also plays an important role in helping PLWHA get access to affordable or free health services. Social support from buddies at NGOs who are also HIV-positive turned out to be very helpful for PLWHA in accepting their condition as HIV-positive people. It can be concluded that social support strengthens PLWHA to be able to continue their lives with more confidence, meaning, and stronger personalities in the middle of a society that still gives stigma and discrimination to PLWHA.
