Proses Penerimaan Diri Korban Pelecehan Seksual: Studi Kasus Remaja Perempuan

Abstract

Self-acceptance is a pivotal factor in maintaining psychological well-being. It entails embracing oneself entirely, devoid of self-repulsion or rejection. Nevertheless, for survivors of sexual abuse, attaining self-acceptance can be a formidable challenge that necessitates familial support. This investigation seeks to elucidate the process of self-acceptance among female survivors of sexual abuse and the factors that modulate it. Employing a qualitative methodology with a case study design, this research incorporates participant observation and in-depth interviews with a single female survivor of sexual abuse. The findings indicate that the self-acceptance process for survivors of sexual abuse encompasses five distinct stages, namely denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, which aligns with the theoretical framework posited by Kubler-Ross. Tthis Study provides a deeper understanding of the self-acceptance process in victims of sexual abuse, as well as offers useful insights for the development of more effective psychological interventions in accompanying victims towards better recovery.
