Vinesia Febrianti, Rini Hildayani

Abstract


Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is one of the developmental disorders commonly found in children. Parenting a child with autism is challenging. Parents, especially mothers, play a crucial role in raising children with autism, but mothers often experience difficulties and high levels of stress. This underscores the need for parenting self-efficacy to support their caregiving. Parenting self-efficacy is influenced by several factors, one of which is social support. This study aims to examine the influence of social support on the parenting self-efficacy of mothers of children with autism. Additionally, it seeks to identify the significant sources of social support that affect the parenting self-efficacy of mothers with children with autism. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach involving 79 mothers in Indonesia. Data were collected using questionnaires containing the Self-Efficacy for Parenting Task Index (SEPTI) and The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) distributed online. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The analysis revealed that social support influences the parenting self-efficacy of mothers of children with autism. Furthermore, it was found that support from partners is a significant source of social support affecting the parenting self-efficacy of mothers. This research emphasizes the importance of parental cooperation in raising children with autism.
