Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study explores the resilience of individuals from broken families, a topic of significance given the potential impact of family structure on personal development. The study aimed to determine the resilience characteristics of senior high school students from broken families. Utilizing Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), this research employed a purposive sampling method to select ten participants from a pool of one hundred students across two sections. Data was gathered through semi-structured interviews to explore life events and experiences. Collected data were then interpreted and grouped into themes. The study revealed that participants identified independency, optimism, and a strong personality as key factors contributing to their resilience. Experiencing a broken family fostered optimism, happiness amidst adversity, and strength to overcome challenges. The participants demonstrated resilience through independence, optimism, and a strong personality developed in response to their family circumstances. It is suggested that fostering closer relationships with family members and open communication may further support these students.
