Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between worry and self-confidence of blind individuals at Yayasan Rumah Hebat Karanganyar. This study is a quantitative correlational study. The subjects of this study were 30 blind individuals who are members of Yayasan Rumah Hebat Fatonah aged 16-42 years. The sampling technique used was non-probability sampling with saturated sampling. The data collection technique in this study used two Likert scale instruments consisting of worry and self-confidence questionnaires. The questionnaire used to measure the level of worry of blind individuals was the Worry Domain Questionnaire (WDQ) formulated by Tallis (1992) with significant validity test results (p <.001) in the Pearson Product Moment correlation test where. The results of the WDQ reliability test used Alpha cornbach with a reliability coefficient (α: 0.92). The self-confidence questionnaire used is a used tryout questionnaire based on Guilford's self-confidence theory (1959) with a validity test result of 0.92 in the Aiken's V coefficient test. The self-confidence reliability test uses Alpha cornbach with a correlation coefficient (α: 0.748). The results of the Pearson Product Moment correlation test obtained a calculated r value (0.104) < r table (0.361) with a significance level of p (0.585)> p (0.05), then Ho is accepted and Ha is rejected. So that the worry variable with the self-confidence variable has a very low correlation or is not correlated. Based on the results of the analysis test, there is no relationship between worry and self-confidence of blind individuals at the Rumah Hebat Fatonah Karanganyar Foundation.
