From the literature obtained, the majority use this type of qualitative research as many as 3 articles and 2 articles using quantitative research. Several studies have shown that the most effective and often used strategies for single parent mothers after their husband leave behind are problem focused coping and emotion focused coping.The conclusion of the study shows that the situations that cause stress to the three single parent mothers after the abandonment of their husbands are (a) the dual roles that are played after the husband leaves, namely meeting the psychological needs of the child, (b) work, (c) accusations from neighbors and (d) economic problems.
