This study aims to examine the relationship between parental involvement and daily living independence among children with autism at Rumah Terapi AnaMacca Makassar.
This study employed a quantitative correlational design with total sampling involving 30 parents, each representing one child with autism. Parental involvement was measured through communication with therapists, assistance with daily activities, and parenting practices, while children’s independence was assessed through daily living skills, including eating, drinking, and dressing. Two ten-item questionnaires were used for data collection. Content validity was assessed by two experts using Aiken’s V, while instrument reliability was examined using Cronbach’s alpha. The relationship between the variables was analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation.
The questionnaire items demonstrated adequate content validity, with Aiken’s V coefficients ranging from 0.833 to 1.000. Reliability coefficients were 0.787 for parental involvement and 0.814 for children’s independence. Of the 30 parents, 29 (96.7%) reported a high level of involvement. Children’s independence was categorized as high for 22 children (73.3%), moderate for seven (23.3%), and low for one (3.3%). Spearman’s rank correlation revealed a moderate positive and statistically significant relationship between parental involvement and children’s independence (ρ = 0.551, p = 0.002). Despite the relatively homogeneous high parental involvement scores, children’s daily living independence remained varied.
Parental involvement is positively associated with the daily living independence of children with autism in the studied setting. The findings emphasize the importance of sustained parental engagement in supporting children’s development of everyday self-care skills. However, the correlational design and reliance on parent-reported measures do not establish a causal relationship.
