Abstract

The majority of fishermen in Pena'ah experienced a decline in income which caused them to be burdened economically. This has an impact on increasing mental health problems, while mental health services are not available in Pena'ah village. People who have contentment (qana'ah) characteristics feel enough with the least sustenance they have and do not demand more than what they have. This is one of the characteristics of a person who is likely to prevent the emergence of mental health problems. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a relationship between qana'ah and the mental health of fishermen in Pena'ah village. The subjects of this study were 112 fishermen in Pena'ah village aged 17-50 years. The sampling technique used is cluster random sampling. The instrument used is the Mental Health Inventory (MHI-38) which has been adapted in Indonesian and the Qana'ah questionnaire developed by researchers based on Rusdy's (2016) and Hamka (2017) theory. Based on the results of statistical analysis using Pearson product moment correlation, it is known that there is a significant positive relationship between qana'ahand mental health, with a value of r = 0.196 and sig = 0.034 (sig <0.05). It can be concluded that increasing qana'ah in a person will be followed by an increase in mental health. Qana'ah is one of the positive qualities in humans that can prevent the emergence of mental health problems.
