Introduction

Our study is all about how young adults cope with their family problems. We chose

this because a lot of young adults suffered from family conflicts these days. And some of us

relates in the topic. We are interested to know how they face and resolve these problems because

we know that in the future we might face this kinds of problems as well. We can learn how to

resolve our own problems by studying this kind of topics. We can also learn how to cope with

our problems by listening and summarizing this study. We can also learn how to advice some

techniques, how to resolve young adult’s family problem when some patient needs our advice in

the future. The significance of this study to us nursing student is that we can use this in the near

future of our profession, we can advice how to resolve this conflict to the people who needed it.

that we learn in this study and apply it in our lives. We can also find out the reality of having a

problems, because some of us are not yet mature. Some of us can’t handle stressful life

especially if we have family problems. Some of the young adults commits suicide because they

have family conflicts and that is one of the concerns of nurses these days. And if ever we

encounter this kind of problem in the future of our profession, we know how to handle this kind

of situation. We have 20 respondent and the question we want to answer in our study are: 1.)

CONCLUSION:

We, therefore conclude that the major family problem of adult is financial problems. Next to thatis the marital problems and family conflict. The young adult that we interviewed had coping

strategies because they can solve their problems and they can even have fun even if they have

some problems to face. We noticed that the young adult can be dependent to their family andfriends, because these support system plays a major role in their lives, because they seek for their

help and talks to them. So that young adults need to rely to someone.

Regarding with the financial problem, most of them are not satisfied with their jobs, and

complains that they earn little amount of salary. It shows that what they earn is not enough for their own.

RECOMMENDATION

As a nursing students we recommend that the young adults make their support system available,like keeping in touch with them even how busy their were, they still should have time to

communicate with each other. We also recommend that they should take their problems seriously

because this may have a big impact with their lives if they don’t think about their problems. Andthey should also keep in touch with God so that they have someone to rely onto not just

physically but also spiritually.

According to Erickson's theory, the young adult should focus more on their own lives. Such ashaving their own family and starting their chosen career. With their problems on financial, young

adult should find ways to earn more, so that they will not be dependent with their family.
