Abstract

This study aims to determine the influence of homesickness on academic anxiety among students (santri) at the Assafinah Islamic Boarding School in Bogor. The study is motivated by the phenomenon of increasing homesickness symptoms among students living away from their families—a factor suspected of contributing to heightened anxiety regarding academic activities. A quantitative correlational research method was employed, utilizing homesickness and academic anxiety scales administered to a sample of 30 students. Data analysis was conducted using a simple linear regression test. The results indicate a significant influence of homesickness on the students' academic anxiety, with a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) and an R-square value of 0.617. This means that 61.7% of academic anxiety is attributable to homesickness, while the remainder is influenced by other factors. The study concludes that higher levels of homesickness experienced by students correspond to higher levels of academic anxiety. This research makes a significant contribution to understanding the psychological factors affecting the academic performance and mental health of students within the Islamic boarding school environment.
