COPING STRATEGY PERUBAHAN POLA MAKAN MAHASISWA AFIRMASI ASAL PAPUA DI UNIVERSITAS SRIWIJAYA

---

Differences in culture and staple foods between Papua and South Sumatra potentially create adaptation challenges in physical, psychological, social, and academic aspects. Universitas Sriwijaya is one of the public universities that implements the Higher Education Affirmation Program (ADik) by admitting affirmative students from Papua. This study aims to understand the coping strategies used by Papuan affirmative students at Universitas Sriwijaya in dealing with dietary changes during their period of study. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method using in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and participatory observation involving Papuan affirmative students, dormitory caretakers, and a nutrition expert lecturer. The results show changes in staple foods from sago to rice, types of side dishes from fresh fish to fried and coconut milk–based dishes, cooking methods, as well as meal frequency and regularity. The impacts include physical health disturbances, stress, homesickness for traditional foods, and decreased stamina and learning concentration. The coping strategies used include cooking together at the Papua Community secretariat, gradually trying local foods, relying on instant noodles during periods of economic limitation, forming solidarity-based communities, and managing personal finances. Supporting factors include the presence of Papuan student communities and family support, while the main inhibiting factors are limited access to traditional food ingredients, differences in eating culture, and socio economic conditions. This study recommends the provision of communal kitchen facilities and nutrition education within the campus environment to support a healthy and sustainable adaptation process for Papuan affirmative students.
