Abstract
Background: Economic problems are one of the factors causing the decline in the welfare of farming families in Indonesia. This condition makes a woman or wife also have to enter into the realm of making decisions on important matters in the family. This, of course, will make a change regarding the family^s primary decision maker, which in most certain cultures is held by the husband or men in the house
Purpose: This study explores family experiences in seeing gender roles in decision-making activities in farming families
Methods: The research design used is a qualitative design with an interpretive phenomenological approach. Data collection techniques used in-depth interviews with semi-structured interview guidelines involving ten participants, and data were analyzed using interpretive phenomenological analysis
Results: The research contains five themes: 1) Division of roles based on gender- 2) work motivation- 3) time outpouring- 4) Access and control- 5) Social Activities
Conclusion: This phenomenon has both positive and negative impacts. Where the positive impact of this phenomenon is that families are able to work together mutually to be able to improve the welfare of family life by dividing existing roles properly. However, if this division of roles does not go well, there will be a gap and there will be a miss perception of the existing culture that the highest decision holder in the household is a man or husband, so it is very necessary for community nurses as the frontline to be able to mediate in relation to the problem of gender roles in society, especially farmers in the Jember district.
