Abstract

The transition to young adulthood brings distinctive challenges for high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFASD) children and their families, especially post-formal education. This qualitative case study research aims to explore hurdles faced by mothers navigating HFASD adolescents. The result shows that financial strain, stigma, and loneliness loom large, compounded by emotional crises tied to uncertainty and stress about their children's future. Mothers advocate for multiple work opportunities and independence, underscoring a notable gap between HFASD teens' needs, available services, and community resources. The study enlightened mothers and inspired proactive measures, emphasizing the imperative for a collective, interdisciplinary effort to align services comprehensively—addressing residential, employment, and social aspects—to enhance the quality of life for HFASD individuals.

Abstract

Parents of children with Down syndrome in Riau, Indonesia, encounter distinct psychological challenges, and the influence of demographic factors warrants further exploration. This study investigates the mediating role of demographics in the psychological well-being of 351 parents, employing a cross-sectional, quantitative design with purposive sampling. Standardized scales assessed psychological well-being, self-acceptance, stigma, and social support, which were analyzed using Bayesian methods. Lower self-acceptance significantly and directly correlated with poorer psychological well-being (β = −.1491, p = .0016), while higher parental education significantly predicted greater self-acceptance (β = .0119, p < .001), which in turn positively impacted well-being. Notably, older children were significantly associated with reduced social support (β = −.0101, p = .0010), and lower social support directly linked to reduced psychological well-being (β = −.1526, p = .0015). In theoretical terms, the study contributes by elucidating the indirect pathways through which demographic factors shape parental well-being within the Indonesian context. Practically, the findings underscore the need for culturally sensitive interventions focused on enhancing self-acceptance, providing accessible educational resources, and strengthening adaptive social support networks tailored to the evolving needs of parents of children with Down syndrome in Indonesia.

Abstract

Loneliness and internet addiction (IA) are risk factors for depression. Internet addiction and depression among adolescents have recently increased in prevalence globally and are expected to continue to increase. However, there is no clear line between internet addiction and depression as to why it occurs. Previous research on the relationship between loneliness and depression in adolescents involved IA as a mediator, and the results of the study showed that IA can be a partial mediator between loneliness and depression. However, in Indonesia, there has been no similar research regarding IA as a mediator and explaining the relationship between these variables. Previous studies show that lonely individuals show high levels of IA. It also causes depression in adolescents. The relationship is still not fully explained. The results of a study involving 732 adolescents in Indonesia, high school students aged 14 to 19 years, actively using the internet, and owning smartphones show that there is partial mediation of IA in the relationship between loneliness and depression in adolescents. Loss of control (LoC) is a dimension that is strongly associated with depression and loneliness. The amount of time spent on the Internet is also linked to loneliness and depression. The study found that girls were more likely to experience depression and loneliness compared to boys. These findings provide important information for parents and schools, and interventions related to these findings can be of serious concern.
