Dukungan emosional orangtua merupakan hal penting bagi mahasiswa perantauan dalam menghadapi tuntutan akademik, sosial, dan tekanan emosional selama menjalani perkuliahan jauh dari keluarga. Dukungan ini membantu mahasiswa merasa diperhatikan, diterima, dan dihargai, sehingga lebih mampu mengelola stres serta beradaptasi dengan lingkungan baru. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan tingkat dukungan emosional orangtua kepada mahasiswa perantauan Bimbingan dan Konseling FKIP USK. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif deskriptif dengan melibatkan 166 mahasiswa yang dipilih menggunakan teknik simple random sampling. Instrumen penelitian berupa skala dukungan emosional berdasarkan teori dukungan emosional dari Sarafino dan Smith yang mencakup lima aspek, yaitu empathy, caring, concern, positive regard, dan encouragement toward the person. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dukungan emosional orangtua kepada mahasiswa perantauan secara umum berada pada kategori tinggi hingga sangat tinggi. Sebagian besar mahasiswa merasakan perhatian, pemahaman, penerimaan, serta dorongan positif dari orangtua selama menjalani perkuliahan jauh dari keluarga. Temuan ini juga tampak pada seluruh aspek dukungan emosional yang diteliti, dengan aspek encouragement toward the person sebagai aspek yang paling dominan. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa dukungan orangtua, terutama dalam bentuk motivasi dan semangat, berperan penting dalam menjaga kestabilan emosi, mendukung proses adaptasi, serta membantu keberhasilan studi mahasiswa perantauan.

Rafika (2026). Overview of Parental Emotional Support for Migrant (Out-of-Town) Students Guidance and Counseling FKIP USK. Advisors: (1) Drs. Martunis, M.Si. (2) Drs. Abu Bakar, M.Si. Parental emotional support is important for migrant (out-of-town) students in coping with academic demands, social pressures and emotional stress while studying far from their families. This support helps students feel cared for, accepted and valued, enabling them to better manage stress and adapt to their new environment. This study aims to describe the level of emotional support provided by parents to migrant (out-of-town) students in the Guidance and Counselling programme at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, University of Syiah Kuala. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach involving 166 students selected using simple random sampling. The research instrument was an emotional support scale based on Sarafino and Smith's emotional support theory, which covers five aspects, namely empathy, caring, concern, positive regard, and encouragement toward the person. The results showed that parental emotional support for migrant (out-of-town) students was generally in the high to very high category. Most students felt attention, understanding, acceptance, and positive encouragement from their parents while studying far from their families. This finding was also evident in all aspects of emotional support studied, with encouragement toward the person being the most dominant aspect. These findings indicate that parental support, especially in the form of motivation and encouragement, plays an important role in maintaining emotional stability, supporting the adaptation process, and contributing to the academic success of migrant (out-of-town) students. Keywords: Emotional Support from Parents, Migrant (Out-of-Town) Students, Encouragement Toward the Person.
