ABSTRACT
The pandemic situation has resulted in several adolescents losing their parents due to exposure to the COVID-19 virus. The ability of resilience is very important for adolescents so that they can get through challenges and difficult life circumstances. Secure attachment is thought to be important for parents and can help adolescents to form their psychological resilience so that adolescents can recover and be stronger in facing difficult conditions for them. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of parental secure attachment on the resilience of adolescents who experienced parental death due to COVID-19. This study uses a quantitative approach with a purposive sampling technique. The subjects of this study were 65 adolescents aged 13–21 years who lost one parent due to COVID-19. The scale in this study used the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment Scale (IPPA) and The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The results of this study indicate that there is a significant positive effect between secure attachment and resilience (R2 = 0.159; β = 0.399, p 0.001 < 0.05). These results indicate that the higher the secure attachment in adolescents, the higher the resilience they have. The magnitude of the influence of the secure attachment variable on resilience is 15.9%.
