Kehidupan di pesantren menuntut santriwati baru untuk menyesuaikan diri
dengan peraturan yang ketat, jadwal yang padat, serta suasana sosial yang berbeda
dari lingkungan asalnya. Hal ini menuntut santriwati mampu beradaptasi dengan
lingkungan dan rutinitas yang padat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan
bagaimana proses penyesuaian diri santriwati baru tingkat MTs dalam mengikuti
kegiatan di Pondok Pesantren Terpadu Al-Mutawally.
Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode
fenomenologi. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara semi
struktur, observasi partisipan, dan dokumentasi. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari empat
informan utama yang merupakan santriwati kelas VII MTs yang telah tinggal di
pesantren selama satu tahun, serta dua informan tambahan dari pihak pengurus.
Teknik analisis data menggunakan pendekatan Interpretative Phenomenological
Analysis (IPA) dan dibantu dengan perangkat lunak Atlas.ti.
Hasil penelitian bahwa penyesuaian diri santriwati baru ditandai oleh lima
aspek utama. Pertama, culture shock, yakni perasaan kaget dan bingung yang
dialami santriwati saat pertama kali menghadapi lingkungan pesantren yang baru
dan berbeda. Kedua, manajemen waktu, berupa upaya santriwati dalam
menyesuaikan jadwal harian yang padat antara kegiatan pesantren dan sekolah.
Ketiga, dukungan sosial, yaitu peran teman sebaya, pengurus, dan keluarga dalam
membantu proses adaptasi. Keempat, tekanan senioritas, berupa rasa tertekan dari
santri senior. Kelima, kepatuhan terhadap peraturan, mencerminkan bagaimana
santriwati belajar mengikuti aturan yang berlaku sebagai bentuk penyesuaian diri.
Terdapat faktor yang mempengaruhi proses ini meliputi faktor internal seperti
kesiapan mental, motivasi pribadi, dan pengalaman sebelumnya, serta faktor
eksternal seperti tekanan sosial, peraturan pondok, dan dukungan dari lingkungan
sekitar. aktor-faktor ini berperan sebagai penghambat sekaligus pendukung dalam
membentuk kemampuan adaptif santriwati selama masa awal tinggal di pesantren.
Proses penyesuaian ini mencerminkan dinamika perkembangan psikologis remaja
perempuan, di mana kebutuhan akan kestabilan emosi, pencarian identitas diri, serta
hubungan sosial yang aman menjadi kunci dalam membentuk strategi adaptasi
terhadap lingkungan baru.

ABSTRACT
Sinta Tayus Wijaya (211141003). Self-Adjustment of New Female MTs
Students in Participating in Activities at the Integrated Islamic Boarding
School Al-Mutawally. Undergraduate Thesis, Islamic Psychology, State
Islamic University Raden Mas Said Surakarta, 2025.
Life in a pesantren requires new female students (santriwati) to adjust to
strict rules, a demanding daily schedule, and a social environment that differs
significantly from their previous experiences. This situation necessitates that
santriwati develop the ability to adapt to both a structured environment and
intensive routines. This study aims to explore how new santriwati at the MTs level
experience the adjustment process while participating in daily activities at Pondok
Pesantren Terpadu Al-Mutawally.
This research employed a qualitative approach using a phenomenological
method. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant
observation, and documentation. The primary subjects of this study were four
female students in the seventh grade of MTs who had lived in the pesantren for one
year, along with two additional informants from the pesantren administration. Data
analysis was conducted using the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA)
approach with the assistance of Atlas.ti software.
The results of the study showed that the adjustment of new female students
was characterized by five main aspects. First, culture shock, which is the feeling of
surprise and confusion experienced by female students when they first face a new
and different boarding school environment. Second, time management, in the form
of female students' efforts to adjust their busy daily schedules between boarding
school and school activities. Third, social support, which is the role of peers,
administrators, and family in helping the adaptation process. Fourth, seniority
pressure, in the form of feeling pressured or afraid of the treatment or expectations
of senior students. Fifth, compliance with regulations, reflects how female students
learn to follow the applicable rules as a form of adjustment. Factors that influence
this process include internal factors such as mental readiness, personal motivation,
and previous experience, as well as external factors such as social pressure,
boarding school regulations, and support from the surrounding environment. These
factors act as both obstacles and supporters in shaping the adaptive abilities of
female students during their early days at the boarding school. This adjustment
process reflects the dynamics of the psychological development of adolescent girls,
where the need for emotional stability, the search for self-identity, and safe social
relationships are key in forming adaptation strategies to a new environment.
