Kondisi ini sering berkaitan dengan trauma masa lalu, kurangnya dukungan emosional, serta konflik batin yang intens. Salah satu mekanisme internal yang berperan dalam mengelola konflik tersebut adalah komunikasi intrapersonal melalui self-talk. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi peran self-talk dalam pencegahan suicidal ideation pada individu dewasa dengan kondisi depresi. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan paradigma interpretif dan metode fenomenologi. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam dan observasi non-partisipan terhadap empat informan berusia 21–22 tahun yang memiliki riwayat depresi dan suicidal ideation. Analisis data dilakukan melalui tahapan reduksi, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan dengan uji keabsahan menggunakan triangulasi sumber. Teori Disonansi Kognitif digunakan untuk memahami pertentangan pikiran antara dorongan mengakhiri hidup dan nilai-nilai penghambat seperti keyakinan religius, tanggung jawab keluarga, dan harapan masa depan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa self-talk berperan dalam menurunkan tekanan batin melalui penambahan elemen kognitif adaptif, penyeimbangan konflik pikiran, serta mendorong perubahan perilaku ke arah yang lebih konstruktif. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa self-talk merupakan mekanisme komunikasi intrapersonal yang efektif dalam pencegahan suicidal ideation pada individu dewasa dengan kondisi depresi. komunikasi intrapersonal, self-talk, depresi, individu dewasa, suicidal ideation. abstract: Depression is a mental health disorder characterized by prolonged emotional distress that can trigger suicidal ideation in adults. This condition is often associated with past trauma, a lack of emotional support, and intense internal conflict. One internal mechanism that plays a role in managing such conflict is intrapersonal communication through self-talk. This study aims to identify the role of self-talk in preventing suicidal ideation among adults with depression. This research employs a qualitative approach using an interpretive paradigm and a phenomenological method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and non-participant observation involving four informants aged 21–22 years who had a history of depression and suicidal ideation. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with validity ensured through source triangulation. Cognitive Dissonance Theory was used to examine the conflict between the desire to end one’s life and inhibiting values such as religious beliefs, family responsibilities, and future aspirations. The findings indicate that self-talk plays a role in reducing psychological distress through the introduction of adaptive cognitive elements, the balancing of conflicting thoughts, and behavioral changes toward more constructive actions. This study concludes that self-talk is an effective intrapersonal communication mechanism in preventing suicidal ideation among adults with depression. intrapersonal communication, self-talk, depression, adults, suicidal ideation. date: 2026 date_type: published pages: 242 institution: UNIVERSITAS SULTAN AGENG TIRTAYASA department: ILMU KOMUNIKASI thesis_type: sarjana thesis_name: sarjana citation: ARDIANTY, STEFHANIE (2026) Intrapersonal Communication through Self-Talk in Preventing Suicidal Ideation among Adults with Depression.
