| Summary: | The World Health Organization (WHO) reports a high incidence of growth and developmental disorders among children globally, with Southeast Asia experiencing a prevalence rate of 28.7%. Indonesia ranks third in the region, with developmental delays affecting 5% to 10% of children. This study aims to identify parental abilities in stimulating the psychosocial development of school-aged children. Employing a quantitative descriptive design, the research sampled 114 students from grades 2, 3, 5, and 6 at Kedungmundu Public Elementary School using purposive non-probability sampling. Findings reveal that a majority of children (54.4%) have not yet achieved psychosocial developmental tasks, while 51.8% of parents demonstrate suboptimal abilities in stimulating their children's psychosocial growth. Among developmental aspects, the spiritual domain showed the highest achievement at 95.6%, whereas the psychosocial domain had the lowest achievement at 42.1%. These results underscore the critical need to enhance parental stimulation capabilities to support optimal psychosocial development in school-aged children. Nursing interventions should focus on empowering parents with knowledge and skills to foster holistic child development effectively. |
