Abstract

An individual who has physical / bodily disabilities can experience obstacles in various activities. Psychologically, individuals who experience non-congenital disabilities (due to accidents, etc.) can cause psychological problems such as stress, insecurity, anger, disappointment and even depression. However, different things are shown by some people who initially experience psychological problems, but over time, can "reconcile", adapt and even rise from their adversity (resilience). This study aims to determine the process and meaning of resilience for people with non-congenital disabilities at the Budi Perkasa Social and Physical Rehabilitation Center in Palembang City (BRSPDF). The method used in this research is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. The subjects in this study were 3 people. The data collection methods used were interviews, observation and documentation. The results showed that the three subjects had achieved resilience through several stages, namely, first, trust; Subjects have trust in the environment around them so that they feel loved. Second, Autonomy; that is, the subjects respect themselves. Third, Initiative; e, the subject remains calm and optimistic. Fourth, Industry; The subject has acquired the skills provided by the BRSPDF so that the subject is independent. Fifth, Identity; The subject understands himself because he gets motivation both from within and from his social environment so that the subject has various positive experiences and can manage himself well. The meaning of resilience for people with non-congenital disabilities is "grateful" for what they have because God still gives them the opportunity to live and the opportunity to improve themselves to become better individuals.
