Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan komunikasi interpersonal antara anak dan ibu yang berstatus narapidana di Rutan Perempuan Kelas IIA Bandung. Komunikasi interpersonal sangat penting dalam menjaga ikatan emosional antara ibu dan anak, khususnya dalam masa tumbuh kembang anak usia 7–12 tahun. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif. Teknik pengumpulan data meliputi wawancara mendalam, observasi non-partisipan, dan dokumentasi. Teori yang digunakan adalah Model Komunikasi Interpersonal Joseph A. DeVito. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa komunikasi antara anak dan ibu narapidana mengalami hambatan signifikan, terutama keterbatasan waktu kunjungan, jarak geografis, serta kondisi psikologis anak. Rutan menyediakan fasilitas seperti video call dan tempat penitipan anak, namun kurang dimanfaatkan karena letak yang tidak strategis dan kondisi ruang yang kurang nyaman. Meski begitu, kunjungan langsung tetap menjadi saluran utama komunikasi. Keterbatasan ini berdampak pada pola pengasuhan, di mana tanggung jawab banyak dialihkan kepada keluarga lain. Temuan ini menunjukkan perlunya peningkatan fasilitas pendukung komunikasi dan kebijakan yang lebih ramah anak untuk mempertahankan hubungan emosional ibu dan anak.
Abstract. This study aims to describe interpersonal communication between children and their incarcerated mothers at the Class IIA Women’s Detention Center in Bandung. Interpersonal communication plays a crucial role in maintaining emotional bonds, particularly for children aged 7–12 during critical development stages. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection methods include in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation. Joseph A. DeVito’s Interpersonal Communication Model serves as the theoretical framework. Findings reveal significant barriers in communication, such as limited visiting hours, geographic distance, and emotional challenges in children. Although the detention center provides alternatives like video calls and a daycare program, these are underutilized due to poor location and inadequate facilities. Direct visitation remains the primary communication channel. The limitations impact parenting patterns, with caregiving responsibilities often shifting to extended family. The study highlights the need for improved communication facilities and more child-friendly policies to sustain emotional ties between incarcerated mothers and their children.
