Abstract

ABSTRACT

Pharmacy professional students are not only challenged by demanding academic and clinical responsibilities but also experience psychological burdens originating from within themselves, one of which is the irrational belief that their parents’ happiness depends entirely on their success in becoming pharmacists. Such irrational beliefs may trigger anxiety that interferes with daily functioning. This study aimed to examine how irrational beliefs regarding parental expectations contribute to anxiety among pharmacy professional students. This study employed a qualitative approach using a single-case study design involving a 22-year-old pharmacy professional student who was hospitalized at a Provincial Pulmonary Hospital in East Java. Data were collected through interviews, behavioral observations, and medical record reviews and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that the participant experienced an anxiety disorder characterized by insomnia, decreased appetite, headaches, abdominal pain, and tremors. The analysis further indicated the presence of an irrational belief that the participant’s parents’ happiness depended entirely on their success in becoming a pharmacist. This belief generated intense psychological pressure, feelings of being trapped, neglect of physical needs, and significant emotional distress. The findings suggest that the participant’s anxiety was influenced not only by academic demands but also by irrational beliefs concerning parental expectations. These findings highlight the importance of early identification of irrational beliefs as a foundation for developing psychological interventions focused on cognitive restructuring to support the mental well-being of pharmacy professional students.

ABSTRAK

Mahasiswa profesi farmasi tidak hanya bergulat dengan tuntutan akademik dan klinis yang berat, tetapi juga membawa beban psikologis dari dalam diri, salah satunya keyakinan bahwa kebahagiaan orang tua bergantung pada keberhasilan mereka menjadi apoteker. Keyakinan irasional inilah yang kemudian memicu kecemasan yang mengganggu fungsi sehari-hari. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis bagaimana keyakinan irasional mengenai harapan orang tua berkontribusi terhadap munculnya kecemasan pada mahasiswa profesi farmasi. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus tunggal pada seorang mahasiswa profesi farmasi berusia 22 tahun yang menjalani rawat inap di salah satu Rumah Sakit Paru Provinsi Jawa Timur. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara, observasi perilaku, dan telaah rekam medis, kemudian dianalisis secara tematik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa partisipan mengalami gangguan kecemasan yang ditandai dengan kesulitan tidur, penurunan nafsu makan, sakit kepala, nyeri perut, dan tremor. Analisis mengungkap adanya keyakinan irasional bahwa kebahagiaan orang tua sepenuhnya bergantung pada keberhasilannya menjadi apoteker. Keyakinan tersebut memunculkan tekanan psikologis yang kuat, perasaan terjebak, pengabaian kebutuhan fisik, serta distress emosional yang signifikan. Simpulan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kecemasan pada partisipan tidak hanya dipengaruhi oleh tuntutan akademik, tetapi juga oleh keyakinan irasional mengenai harapan orang tua. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya identifikasi dini terhadap keyakinan irasional sebagai dasar penyusunan intervensi psikologis yang berfokus pada restrukturisasi kognitif guna mendukung kesehatan mental mahasiswa profesi farmasi.
