ABSTRACT Description of Emotional Exhaustion in Single Parents with a Child with Down Syndrome By: Sepia Esa Pangestika Being a single parent to a child with down syndrome entails various caregiving demands physical, emotional, and mental that can lead to emotional exhaustion. This study aims to describe the experience of emotional exhaustion among single parents caring for children with down syndrome. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with participants selected via purposive sampling; the subjects consisted of three single parents of children with down syndrome. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis with NVivo 12 Plus software. The results indicate that all three subjects experienced emotional exhaustion. Physical manifestations included sleep deprivation, frequent dizziness, body aches, gastric issues, and elevated blood pressure. Emotional manifestations included sadness, irritability, guilt, and hopelessness, as well as instances of physical actions directed at the child during moments of emotional distress. Mental manifestations included anxiety, indecisiveness, difficulty concentrating, a loss of enthusiasm, a tendency to withdraw, feelings of isolation, and a sense of being looked down upon. The findings reveal a multidimensional state of exhaustion resulting from continuous caregiving demands that must be managed alone. This study provides insight into the forms of emotional exhaustion experienced by single parents caring for children with down syndrome.
