Abstract
Pernikahan poligami berdampak signifikan terhadap kesehatan psikologis istri pertama, mencakup depresi, kecemasan, insomnia, penurunan harga diri, dan gejala somatik. Meskipun sejumlah penelitian telah mengkaji strategi koping dan faktor kebahagiaan pada istri pertama, pembahasan spesifik mengenai proses adaptasi psikologis secara holistik dan bertahap masih sangat terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan menjelaskan proses adaptasi psikologis istri pertama dalam pernikahan poligami, mulai dari respons awal terhadap pemberitahuan poligami hingga pencapaian bentuk adaptasi berkelanjutan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam semi-terstruktur terhadap dua informan istri pertama yang berstatus ibu rumah tangga beserta dua significant other. Analisis data menggunakan analisis tematik Braun dan Clarke (2006) dengan triangulasi sumber. Ditemukan lima tema utama: (1) respons terhadap pemberitahuan poligami yang sangat dipengaruhi cara penyampaian suami; (2) peran dukungan sosial dan tekanan stigma dalam proses adaptasi; (3) strategi koping sebagai mekanisme adaptasi psikologis; (4) spiritualitas dan peran anak sebagai sumber makna dan motivasi bertahan; serta (5) rekonstruksi harga diri dan identitas. Adaptasi psikologis istri pertama merupakan proses yang personal, bertahap, dan multidimensional. Cara pemberitahuan poligami, penilaian kognitif awal berbasis keimanan, kualitas dukungan sosial, spiritualitas, dan kemampuan rekonstruksi identitas merupakan determinan utama keberhasilan adaptasi.References
