Abstract

Background: Life in a Prison or a closed Penitentiary always attracts researchers or academics to discuss because of the many problems of life, how to adapt, and how to socialize with a new life in prison. The problems often faced are Self-acceptance and anxiety. Self-acceptance is someone's satisfaction with sleep, so that someone does not show feelings of fatigue, lethargy and anxiety. Poor Self-acceptance can result in decreased activity of the prefrontal cortex which plays an important role in regulating emotions, one of which is anxiety. Aim: The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between Self-acceptance and anxiety levels in women-assisted residents in correctional institutions. Method: This type of research is Cross Sectional with a sample of 59 respondents with purposive sampling technique. Data collection using the questionnaire sheet Pittsbrugh Self-acceptance Index and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, with Chi Square statistical tests using manual calculations with SPSS Aplication.

Means there is a relationship between the level of Self-acceptance with the level of anxiety in women fostered citizens in prison.
