Abstract

Introduction: Losing a partner is one of the emotional challenges that people, especially women, may face. Losing a partner at a young age creates problems with tasks and development in early adulthood. If not handled properly, it will cause problems for the partner he left behind. This study aimed to explore the experience of losing a spouse at a young age in the work environment of X Hospital.

The sample with purposive sampling was five informants. Researchers used interview guidelines to explore the experiences of participants. Qualitative data processing takes place in the stages of reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. To test the credibility of the data in qualitative research, a triangulation analysis will be carried out.

 

Results: The results of the study found that the experience of losing a spouse at a young age in the work environment of X Hospital included the meaning of the relationship with the object, grieving response, social support, coping as well and the effect on the informant's career. The hospital can also provide consultation services if the loss of a partner becomes persistent, depressed, or interferes with the informant's work activities.
