Abstract


Highly Sensitive Person atau HSP adalah sifat yang diasosiasikan dengan sensitivitas dan responsitivitas yang lebih tinggi terhadap stimulus dari internal maupun eksternal, lingkungan maupun sosial. Sifat ini dimiliki oleh 20% populasi manusia dan diturunkan secara gentik. Faktor yang berperan dalam terjadinya HSP diketahui adalah genetik dan lingkungan. Aktivitas otak pada HSP lebih tinggi daripada non-HSP hal ini akan menyebabkan overstimulasi pada otak sehingga pada HSP membutuhkan periode istirahat, dan overstimulasi ini seringkali diikuti oleh ketidakmampuan mengontrol emosi sehingga menyebabkan HSP lebih mudah mengalami gangguan kesehatan mental diantaranya adalah depresi, ansietas, dan stress. Tujuan dari artikel literature review ini adalah untuk mengenal tentang HSP, apa perbedaan HSP dengan non-HSP, bagaimana cara mengetahui individu dengan HSP, dan pengaruh HSP terhadap kesehatan mental. Metode yang digunakan dalam artikel ini adalah penelusuran artikel melalui database NCBI dan Google Scholar, lalu artikel dipilih dengan meninjau judul dan abstrak artikel. Tahun penerbitan sumber pustaka adalah dari tahun 2011 sampai 2019. Hasil dari berbagai artikel yang dicantumkan dalam artikel ini untuk menunjukkan adanya hubungan antara HSP dengan gangguan kesehatan mental seperti depresi, ansietas, dan stres.

HIGHLY SENSITIVE PERSON AND ITS EFFECT ON MENTAL HEALTH

 

ABSTRACT

Highly Sensitive Person or HSP is a trait associated with higher sensitivity and responsiveness to internal and external stimuli, environmental and social. This trait found in 20% of human population and genetically inherited. Factors that play a role in the occurrence of  HSP are known to be genetic and environmental. Brain activity in HSP is higher than non-HSP, this will cause overstimulation of the brain so the HSP requires resting period, and this overstimulation often followed by inability to control emotion that cause HSP more vulnerable to mental health problem such as depression, anxiety, and stress. The purpose of this literature review article is to get to know about HSP, the difference between HSP and non-HSP, how to know the individuals with HSP, and HSPs effects on mental health. The method used in this article uses a review of articles from NCBI and Google Scholar databases, then the article are selected by reviewing the article titles and abstracts. The year of publication of these articles are from 2011 to 2019. The results of various articles included in this article are to show the correlations between HSP and mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and stress.
