Abstract

Kesepian dipahami sebagai pengalaman subjektif ketika individu merasakan adanya kesenjangan antara hubungan sosial yang diharapkan dan yang benar-benar dimiliki. Pada populasi mahasiswa, kesepian telah terbukti berkaitan dengan berbagai dampak negatif, seperti meningkatnya gejala depresi, kecemasan, dan stres psikologis, serta menurunnya kesejahteraan subjektif dan fungsi akademik. Kesepian merupakan pengalaman psikologis subjektif yang sering muncul pada fase dewasa awal, khususnya pada mahasiswa, dan berkaitan dengan berbagai dampak negatif terhadap kesehatan mental. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan adaptasi lintas budaya serta menguji validitas konstruk UCLA Loneliness Scale Revised Version (1980) ke dalam Bahasa Indonesia pada populasi mahasiswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain survei cross-sectional. Partisipan penelitian berjumlah 250 mahasiswa aktif berusia 18 tahun ke atas yang direkrut menggunakan teknik convenience sampling. Proses adaptasi alat ukur dilakukan melalui tahapan forward translation, back translation, expert judgement, uji keterbacaan, dan revisi akhir guna memastikan kesetaraan makna secara konseptual dan semantik. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) dengan estimator Diagonally Weighted Least Squares (DWLS) untuk menguji struktur faktor unidimensional. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa model satu fakor memiliki validitas konstruk yang memadai berdasarkan indeks kecocokan model CFA, dengan seluruh item memiliki muatan faktor yang signifikan (p<.001). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa UCLA Loneliness Scale versi Bahasa Indonesia merupakan instrumen yang valid dan reliabel untuk mengukur kesepian pada mahasiswa serta dapat digunakan dalam konteks penelitian dan praktik psikologi di Indonesia.
