This is felt because no one motivates them and
cares about the problems they face. Cohen and Wills
(in Elliott and Gramling, 1990) in their research
revealed that individuals who get low social support,
feel more depressed and anxious when experiencing
stress. Then, Dewi (2015) added in her research that
social support has a close relationship with resilience
in mothers who have children with cancer of
retinoblastoma at the Loving Cancer Hospital in
Bandung. The higher the social support, the higher
the degree of resilience the mother has, conversely the
lower the social support the lower the degree of
resilience the mother has.
In addition, the results of this study obtained a
quadratic correlation coefficient (r2) is 0.731. That is,
social support has a contribution of 73.1% of
resilience, and the remaining 26.9% is influenced by
other factors not examined in this study. It shows that
social support has a very large contribution for
women who experience infertility to make them feel
strong when facing feelings of decline due to stigma
obtained from the environment or negative judgments
from others, as seen as women who are not normal,
useless, infertile, or the weakness of the person
because it is closely related to the nature of women
that must be able to contain and give birth.
These results are in line with Primandari's
research (2014) which revealed that subjects who
have high resilience are characterized by people
taking part in their lives so that subjects can carry out
their duties and responsibilities well and believe the
situation they are facing can be passed well. While
subjects who have low resilience are characterized by
the absence of people who can carry out their roles
properly so that subjects cannot see well that they are
important in life. This causes the subject to not be able
to carry out the task properly and is not sure of the
situation at hand.
This can also be explained based on the results of
the multiple regression calculation of the dimensions
of social support for resilience, which can be seen in
table 4.
Based on table 4, it can be seen that the dimension
of social support that has an influence on resilience (p
<0.05) is the instrumental support dimension (sig.
0.001) and companionship support dimension (sig.
0,000). While the dimensions of social support that
have no effect on resilience (p> 0.05) are the
dimensions of emotional support (sig. 0.070) and the
dimensions of informational support (sig. 0.145).
Since the emotional dimension is closely related to
resilience, the multiple regression equation is
recalculated by only eliminating the informational
support dimension, with the results shown in table 5.
Table 4: Results of Multiple Regression of dimensions
Social Support with Resilience.
Table 5: Results of Multiple Regression of dimensions
Social Support with Resilience after Elimination of the
Informational Support dimension.
Based on table 5 above, it appears that there is a
change in the value of sig. dimensions of social
support, so that the three dimensions of social support
have an effect on resilience (p <0.05).
According to Pearson product-moment
correlation, the highest emotional dimension
correlation level is 0.815 followed by the level of
companionship correlation 0.790 and instrumental
0.749.
The result above is in accordance with Cutrona,
Gardner, and Uchino's theory (in Sarafino and Smith,
2011) which says emotional support is a form of
support delivered through empathy, care, attention,
appreciation, and positive judgment about a person's
ideas or feelings so that he feels comfortable, feels
loved and feels cared for when dealing with various
pressing problems in life. So, women who experience
infertility and get emotional support from their family
and surrounding environment, they will have high
self-confidence, feel comfortable, feel loved, and
make infertile women can see a positive value in him.
They do not see themselves as someone who is alone
in dealing with problems that arise due to infertility
problems experienced, to feel valued and still be
loved by others. In addition, emotional support from
family and the environment also makes them feel
strong, optimistic, able to think rationally and not
blame themselves or the conditions they experience.
They will be able to overcome the problems faced and
take lessons from each incident experienced. This is
in line with research by Titisari (2017) which shows
that the higher the family social support that is given
and felt, the higher the level of resilience in kidney
failure patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy. In
