Abstract

Autis merupakan salah satu jenis gangguan perkembangan dimana anak mengalami gangguan dalam interaksi sosial, berkomunikasi, serta masalah perilaku dan kognitif. Hal ini membuat pengasuhan anak autis menjadi penuh tantangan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif yang bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi pengalaman ibu dalam merawat anak usia sekolah yang mengalami autis. Data didapatkan dari wawancara semi terstruktur pada 8 orang anak usia 8 sampai 15 tahun yang dipilih dengan menggunakan metode snow ball sampling. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan pendekatan Collaizi. Stres yang dialami orang tua selama perawatan anak yaitu meliputi: mengalami stres emosional, perlu mengontrol emosi anak, mengkhawatirkan hubungan dengan sibling, mengkhawatirkan masa depan anak, menghadapi masalah keuangan, dan mengupayakan pendidikan inklusi. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perlunya upaya mensosialisasikan autis pada komunitas agar kualitas hidup ibu dan anak penderita autis menjadi lebih baik.
