Abstract
This research examines plausible factors contributing to resilience among parents of children with autism in Indonesia. Using a cross-sectional design, 92 Indonesian parents of children with autism completed questionnaires assessing family resilience, sociodemographic characteristics, and emotion regulation. For familial resilience, Walsh’s Family Resilience Questionnaire (WALSH) was used, while for emotion regulation, Garnefski’s Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) was utilized. Multiple linear and logistic regression analyses showed that emotion regulation significantly predicts familial resilience. Sociodemographic factors, such as income, education, marital status, and the number of children in the household, were not statistically significant to familial resilience. A secondary analysis revealed that adaptive strategies, including positive reappraisal and refocusing on planning, were significant predictors of familial resilience. These insights highlight the need for culturally sensitive, emotion regulation-based interventions to support families affected by autism. Future research should explore longitudinal and qualitative methods to gain a more in-depth understanding of how resilience develops over time.
