Pada sebagian individu, duka karena kematian orang terkasih (significant others) seringkali menjadi pengalaman emosional yang berat dan berpotensi berkembang menjadi duka berkepanjangan (prolonged grief). Terdapat faktor intrapersonal dan interpersonal yang menjadikan individu lebih cenderung mengalami prolonged grief. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji peran self-compassion dan perceived social support terhadap gejala prolonged grief pascakematian significant others di Indonesia. Data dikumpulkan melalui metode purposive sampling dengan melibatkan sebanyak 116 partisipan berusia 18-60 tahun yang mengalami kematian orang terdekat dalam rentang waktu 6 bulan hingga 2 tahun terakhir. Pengukuran dilakukan menggunakan tiga instrumen, yaitu Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), dan Prolonged Grief-13-Revised (PG-13-R). Hasil analisis regresi linear berganda menunjukkan bahwa secara simultan kedua variabel berkontribusi signifikan dalam memprediksi gejala prolonged grief (R² = 0,22; p < ,001). Namun, analisis parsial menunjukkan bahwa hanya self-compassion yang secara signifikan memprediksi penurunan gejala prolonged grief, termasuk setelah mengontrol faktor demografis (? = -0,2849, p < 0>self-compassion sebagai sumber daya intrapersonal dalam menurunkan risiko duka berkepanjangan serta memberikan kontribusi bagi pengembangan literatur kedukaan dan perancangan intervensi psikologis yang mendukung pemulihan individu dengan duka berkepanjangan.

For many individuals, the death of a significant other constitutes a profoundly distressing emotional experience that may develop into prolonged grief. Both intrapersonal and interpersonal factors have been identified as contributors to the risk of prolonged grief. This study aims to examine the roles of self-compassion and perceived social support in predicting prolonged grief symptoms following the loss of a significant other among bereaved individuals in Indonesia. Data were collected using purposive sampling from 116 participants aged 18–60 years who had experienced the death of a significant other within the past 6 months to 2 years. Three instruments were utilized: the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and the Prolonged Grief-13-Revised (PG-13-R). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that self-compassion and perceived social support simultaneously contributed to prolonged grief symptoms (R² = 0,22, p < .001). However, when examined individually, only self-compassion was a significant predictor, showing a negative association with prolonged grief symptoms beyond demographics (? = –0,2849, p < 0,05), whereas perceived social support did not show a significant unique contribution. These findings underscore the protective role of self-compassion as an intrapersonal resource in reducing the risk of prolonged grief and contribute to the growing literature on bereavement, with implications for the development of psychological interventions to support individuals experiencing prolonged grief.
