The growing population of elderly individuals in urban areas, such as Yogyakarta, has raised concerns regarding the emotional well-being of aging residents, particularly in relation to their communication with family members. As family interactions often diminish in frequency and depth, the emotional support provided to elderly parents may be affected. This study investigates the communication patterns between children and elderly parents residing at Tresna Wreda Yogyakarta nursing home. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through in-depth interviews and validated via triangulation methods. The analysis followed a systematic process of data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal three distinct communication patterns based on Fitzpatrick’s typology: consensual, protective, and laissez-faire. Subject SS exemplifies a consensual pattern, characterized by open and meaningful conversations that promote emotional closeness. Subject SW reflects a protective pattern, engaging in surface-level discussions to prevent causing concern for her children, which results in limited emotional depth. Subject KS demonstrates a laissez-faire pattern, with infrequent and superficial interactions, leading to emotional detachment and loneliness. The study emphasizes the need for enhancing communication quality and frequency to strengthen emotional bonds and improve the overall well-being of elderly individuals.
