Parental support plays a crucial role in shaping the
psychological well-being of Santri in Islamic boarding
schools (pesantren). Life in Pesantren requires Santri to be
independent and face various challenges, making parental
support one of the factors that help them achieve inner peace.
This article discusses the relationship between parental
support and the psychological well-being of Santri from an
Islamic perspective. Participants in this study were Santri at
Pondok Pesantren Miftahunnajah Yogyakarta, aged 13-15
years (N=67). The results indicate that parental support
correlates with psychological well-being in santri at pesantren
(p = 0.000; rxy = 0.487). The study shows that Santri who
receive emotional support, appreciation, and guidance from
their parents tend to have better psychological well-being.
Santri, with good psychological well-being, are better
equipped to face various challenges in pesantren due to their
mental resilience in handling academic pressure and social
life
