Description
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak in 2020 affected people’s lives, particularly adolescents.
Loneliness was one of the problems adolescents faced during the outbreak of Covid-19. Loneliness could affect
adolescents' health, both mental and physical health. On the other hand, there were a lot of factors that related to
loneliness among adolescents. Thus, this research aimed to explore the factors associated with loneliness in
adolescents amid the COVID-19 epidemic in Indonesia. Methodology This study was a cross-sectional study. The
respondents in this study were 590 adolescents. This study used some questionnaires that were distributed online
via social media. The demographic characteristics, The UCLA Loneliness Scale version 3, and the Connor
Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC)-25 were included in the questionnaire. The study employed hierarchical
linear regression to examine the components contributing to adolescent loneliness. Results: this current study
found that the age group of 16-19 YO (β = .117); female adolescents (β = .095); confidence in one's gut feelings,
ability to tolerate bad emotions, and the enhancing effects of stress (β = .130); and spiritual influence (β = .094)
were associated with increasing loneliness in adolescents. For the positive acceptance of change, a secure
relationship (β = -.289); and control (β = -.273) were associated with a lower likelihood of having loneliness.
Conclusion: The study's findings suggested that the 16–19-year-old age group, female adolescents, trusting one's
gut, allowing negative emotions to persist, amplifying the impacts of stress, and spiritual influence was associated
with higher rates of loneliness among teenagers. Positively accepting change, having a stable relationship, and
having control were linked to a decreased risk of loneliness. The recent findings should help create programs to reduce loneliness, especially in light of the elements identified as linked.
