Abstract

Communication patterns are forms or relationships between two or more in the process of sending and receiving messages. In everyday life, everyone communicates with their surrounding environment, such as friends and family. Communication between parents and children in close relationships can run smoothly because communication is done every day. It is different if the communication carried out by parents and children is long distance, it cannot be denied that the intensity of communication between parents and children becomes rare. This is proven by the long-distance relationships experienced by students at Muhammadiyah University of Palangkaraya who come from Katingan Regency. Due to the difference in distance, communication between parents and children is no longer face-to-face but rather uses media as a link for their communication.

Then the main problem is what is the pattern of long-distance communication between parents and children to improve the relationship between students and female students who come from Katingan Regency? What are the obstacles to long-distance and children in improving the relationship between students and students at Muhammadiyah University of Palangkaraya who come from Katingan Regency? Furthermore, the method used in this research is a type of field research. The nature of this research is descriptive qualitative, which aims to conduct discourse

analysis on communication patterns and long-distance barriers between parents who live in Katingan Regency or in villages and their children who study at Palangkaraya Muhammadiyah University in improving friendship. And the data collection methods that the author uses in this research are interviews, observation and documentation.

The findings in the research show that the communication patterns used by students or female students towards their parents are more dominant towards consensual communication patterns, namely communication patterns that emphasize harmonious relationships and open communication between each other, as evidenced by the results of interviews with students and female students from from Katingan Regency, some of whom use consensual communication patterns, because the intensity of their conversations with their parents occurs almost every day. The barriers to long-distance communication between parents and children in improving ties are technical barriers, semantic barriers and human barriers.
