Orangtua yang berada pada periode empty nest umumnya akan mengalami berbagai macam perasaan. Seperti halnya perasaan cemas, depresi, kehilangan, sedih, sepi, dan perasaan putus asa yang sering disebut sebagai empty nest syndrome. Dalam empty nest syndrome perasaan kesepian merupakan gejala yang sering dirasakan orangtua. Begitu pula dengan perasaan cemas, depresi, dan sedih termasuk dalam distres psikologis yang rentan dialami saat periode empty nest. Perasaan sepi dan distres psikologis ini merupakan faktor yang dapat berpengaruh terhadap tingkat kesejahteraan psikologis orangtua, terutama pada tingkat kepuasan hidup. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui peranan antara kesepian dan distres psikologis terhadap kepuasan hidup pada ayah yang berada di periode empty nest. Sampel yang digunakan berjumlah 104 ayah yang berada pada periode empty nest dan berdomisili di Jakarta, Jawa Barat, dan Tangerang. Penelitian ini menggunakan adaptasi alat ukur UCLA, K10, dan LSITA. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kesepian dan distres psikologis berperan signifikan secara simultan terhadap kepuasan hidup pada ayah yang berada di periode empty nest, yaitu 41,4%. Selain itu, hasil pengujian analisis jalur menunjukkan bahwa kesepian memiliki nilai signifikansi (p= 0,000) dengan nilai kontribusi sebesar 34,7%. Di sisi lain, distres psikologis memiliki nilai signifikansi (p= 0,266) dengan nilai kontribusi 0,9%. Dengan kata lain, dapat disimpulkan bahwa variabel kesepian memiliki kontribusi yang lebih besar dibandingkan dengan variabel distres psikologi terhadap kepuasan hidup pada ayah yang berada di periode empty nest.
