Abstract:
This study aims to describe the sources of resilience possessed by early adolescent earthquake survivors in Dangiang Village, North Lombok. This research used a qualitative approach with an in-depth interview method. Research respondents were early adolescents aged 12-15 years. Deep interviews were conducted for 3 participants, and validation interviews were conducted for six significant others. The results showed that every participant has three sources of resilience, which are "I have" (external support), "I am" (personal strength), and "I can" (social and interpersonal skill). Even though the three participants lived in the same village and felt the same earthquake, they had different results from the three aspects "I have", "I am", and "I can". This research found out that family interaction is an essential source of the participant's resilience. The findings also suggest that access to health facilities, education, security services, and religious activities in the village comm
unity helped strengthen the participants' resilience. Specifically, religious activities in the community contribute as a collective way of coping after the earthquake. Knowing the description of the sources of adolescent resilience is important because it helps to see the possibility of individual resilience in the future and to know what support young people need to become resilient.
