ABSTRACT
Anxiety is the overgrowth worried or discomfort in anticipation of internal or external danger. Anxiety is stated as pathological if the condition stays long-term and causes physical disabilities and distress that causes difficulties in daily life activities such as working or socializing. Anxiety disorder has a bigger chance of developing in women than in men. Throughout the detention period, if anxiety is ignored, it could weaken or even eliminate self-capacity and capability in prisoners. This study is prepared to seek anxiety and assess the severity in prisoners at Lembaga Pemasyarakatan Perempuan Kelas II A Kota Tangerang from August to October 2019. This study is published with a descriptive quantitative with cross-sectional approach, and the data is collected using accidental sampling, where the research population is 78 female prisoners. Data is collected by using Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAR-S) questionnaire. The result shows that the level of anxiety is divided into four stages; average (67,9%), low (15,4%), middle (11,5%), and high (5,1%) level of anxiety. The highest anxiety level shows in the 20 – 30s year category, married category, and has never been prisoned category.
