Abstract

The presence of children with special needs (CSN) causes anxiety in parents who are responsible for their children. Individuals who are stressed are stimulated to do something in response to the stress, which is referred to as coping. Parents of children with special needs employ a variety of coping strategies, depending on the nature of the issues they face. The purpose of this study was to identify parents' coping mechanisms while dealing with children with special needs. A narrative review is a method of conducting a literature review. The keywords coping methods / coping behavior, parents, and special needs children / disabled children were searched in the online databases EBSCOhost, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The search yielded 25 publications that were found to be related to the study's goals. According to the findings of this literature review, parents utilize problem-focused and emotional-focused coping when caring for their children with special needs. When it comes to caring for children with special needs, parents employ a variety of coping mechanisms. The employment of parental coping mechanisms varies from one article to the next. As a result, more comprehensive research on aspects associated to parental coping techniques in managing children with special needs is required. Nurses can help parents deal with stress while caring for children with special needs by acting as educators, counselors, advocates, and collaborators with other health professionals.Abstrak: Kehadiran anak berkebutuhan khusus (ABK) memicu stres orang tua dalam merawat anaknya.
