Dampak Adverse Childhood Experiences terhadap Psychological Well-Being Mahasiswa

Abstract. College students are a group that faces various academic, social, and emotional pressures that demand psychological stability. However, some of them may carry adverse childhood experiences that could potentially affect their current psychological well-being. Psychological Well-Being (PWB) reflects an individual's positive psychological state consisting of six dimensions: autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, purpose in life, positive relations, and self-acceptance. This study aims to determine the effect of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Psychological Well-Being in college students in Bandung City. The study used a causality design with 409 respondents aged 18-25 years and selected through purposive sampling technique. The instruments used were ACE-International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ) and Psychological Well-Being Scale. Data were analyzed using logistic regression. The results showed that ACE had a significant negative effect on students' PWB (Nagelkerke R² = 0.071; p < 0.05). The results showed that ACE has a significant negative effect on overall PWB. The Nagelkerke R² value of 0.071 indicates that ACE explains about 7.1% of the variation in students' psychological well-being. In addition, ACE also has a significant effect on four of the six dimensions of PWB, namely positive relations, environmental mastery, personal growth, and purpose in life, while autonomy and self-acceptance do not show a significant effect. These findings suggest the importance of considering childhood experiences in supporting college students' psychological well-being. Abstrak. Mahasiswa merupakan kelompok yang menghadapi berbagai tekanan akademik, sosial, dan emosional yang menuntut stabilitas psikologis. Namun, sebagian dari mereka mungkin membawa pengalaman masa kecil yang merugikan (Adverse Childhood Experiences) yang berpotensi memengaruhi kesejahteraan psikologis mereka saat ini. Psychological Well-Being (PWB) mencerminkan kondisi psikologis positif individu yang terdiri dari enam dimensi: autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, purpose in life, positive relations, dan self-acceptance. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh Adverse Childhood Experiences terhadap Psychological Well-Being pada mahasiswa di Kota Bandung. Penelitian menggunakan desain kausalitas dengan responden sejumlah 409 mahasiswa yang berusia 18–25 tahun dan dipilih melalui teknik purposive sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah ACE-International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ) dan Psychological Well-Being Scale. Analisis data dilakukan dengan regresi logistik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ACE berpengaruh negatif secara signifikan terhadap PWB mahasiswa (Nagelkerke R² = 0,071; p < 0,05). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ACE memiliki pengaruh negatif yang signifikan terhadap PWB secara keseluruhan. Nilai Nagelkerke R² sebesar 0,071 menunjukkan bahwa ACE menjelaskan sekitar 7,1% variasi dalam psychological well-being mahasiswa. Selain itu, ACE juga berpengaruh signifikan terhadap empat dari enam dimensi PWB, yaitu positive relations, environmental mastery, personal growth, dan purpose in life, sementara autonomy dan self-acceptance tidak menunjukkan pengaruh yang signifikan. Temuan ini menunjukkan pentingnya mempertimbangkan pengalaman masa kecil dalam mendukung kesejahteraan psikologis mahasiswa.
