This study aimed to examine the relationship between depressive symptoms and positive affect and negative affect among participants of the Sanggah Jiwa program in RW 02, Tejosari Urban Village, East Metro District, Metro City. This quantitative observational study employed a cross-sectional design. Data were collected from 21 participants using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule–Expanded Form (PANAS-X). Descriptive statistics, internal consistency analysis, the Shapiro–Wilk test, and Pearson correlation were performed, with Spearman correlation used as a sensitivity analysis. The mean PHQ-9 score was 9.43 (SD = 5.510), while the mean positive affect and negative affect scores were 29.86 (SD = 3.275) and 28.67 (SD = 4.066), respectively. The most frequent PHQ-9 category was mild depressive symptoms (47.6%). Pearson correlation showed a moderate positive association between depressive symptoms and negative affect (r = 0.531, 95% CI [0.129, 0.783], p = 0.013), whereas the association between depressive symptoms and positive affect was small and not statistically significant (r = 0.073, 95% CI [-0.370, 0.489], p = 0.754). Spearman correlation produced a similar pattern for negative affect (ρ = 0.469, p = 0.032). These findings indicate that higher depressive symptom scores were associated with higher negative affect in this sample. However, because of the cross-sectional design and small sample size, the findings should be interpreted as statistical associations rather than causal relationships, and they do not provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of the Sanggah Jiwa program.
Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara gejala depresi dengan afek positif dan afek negatif pada peserta program Sanggah Jiwa di RW 02, Kelurahan Tejosari, Kecamatan Metro Timur, Kota Metro. Penelitian observasional kuantitatif ini menggunakan desain cross-sectional. Data dikumpulkan dari 21 peserta menggunakan Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) dan Positive and Negative Affect Schedule–Expanded Form (PANAS-X). Analisis yang dilakukan meliputi statistik deskriptif, analisis konsistensi internal, uji Shapiro–Wilk, dan korelasi Pearson, sedangkan korelasi Spearman digunakan sebagai analisis sensitivitas. Rata-rata skor PHQ-9 adalah 9,43 (SD = 5,510), sedangkan rata-rata skor afek positif dan afek negatif masing-masing sebesar 29,86 (SD = 3,275) dan 28,67 (SD = 4,066). Kategori PHQ-9 yang paling banyak ditemukan adalah gejala depresi ringan (47,6%). Analisis korelasi Pearson menunjukkan hubungan positif dengan kekuatan sedang antara gejala depresi dan afek negatif (r = 0,531, 95% CI [0,129, 0,783], p = 0,013). Sementara itu, hubungan antara gejala depresi dan afek positif tergolong lemah dan tidak signifikan secara statistik (r = 0,073, 95% CI [-0,370, 0,489], p = 0,754). Analisis korelasi Spearman menunjukkan pola yang serupa untuk afek negatif (ρ = 0,469, p = 0,032). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa skor gejala depresi yang lebih tinggi berhubungan dengan tingkat afek negatif yang lebih tinggi pada sampel penelitian ini. Namun, karena penelitian menggunakan desain cross-sectional dan melibatkan ukuran sampel yang kecil, temuan ini harus diinterpretasikan sebagai hubungan statistik dan bukan sebagai hubungan kausal. Selain itu, hasil penelitian ini tidak memberikan bukti mengenai efektivitas program Sanggah Jiwa.
