The Relationship Between Parenting Style and Anxiety Level for Dental Care in Children with Special Needs
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Children with Special Needs (CwSN) have unique physical, social, emotional, and behavioral challenges that differ from their peers. CwSN requires vigilant attention to their limitations, which predispose them to oral health problems such as caries and periodontal disease. One cause of these obstacles is children's fear or anxiety towards dental treatment. Anxiety is often expressed by those closest to them, such as parents or caregivers. This investigation aimed to evaluate a relationship between parenting style and the level of dental anxiety among CwSN at SLBN 1 Kulon Progo District ( Special School for Disabled) within the ages 6 to 18 years. Materials and methods: An analytic observational study utilizing a cross-sectional research design was employed. A purposive sampling approach was utilized to procure 51 CwSN at SLBN 1 Kulon Progo as research subjects. The research utilized a questionnaire to examine parenting styles and measured anxiety levels with the Children Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS) questionnaire. The relationship between parenting styles and anxiety levels was analyzed with the lambda correlation test. Results: The results show that CwSN were parented democratically at 80.4%, followed by authoritarian and permissive parenting styles. The results of the Lambda correlation test indicate a statistically significant relationship between levels of anxiety and all levels of parenting style (p <0.05). Conclusion: There is a relationship between parenting style and the level of dental anxiety among CwSN at SLBN 1 Kulon Progo District ( Special School Disabled) within the ages 6 to 18 years.
