Abstract

Background

Anxiety levels among children have been rising. Currently, about 240 million children worldwide live with disabilities, affecting not only their well-being but also that of their siblings and families. Typically developing children aged 8 to 12 with a sibling who has special healthcare needs (SHCN) may experience increased anxiety. This topic requires further investigation to understand its unique factors.

Purpose

Examine the determinants of anxiety in children aged 8 to 12 years with a sibling who has SHCN.

Methods

The concept analysis was carried out using the iterative eight-step method developed by Walker and Avant (2019).

Discussion

Three key attributes of anxiety were identified: psychological, structural, and educational factors.

Conclusion

This research provides a foundational understanding of this emerging concept, anxiety in children 8 to 12 years with a sibling with a SHCN. This allows for developing targeted interventions and identifying potential areas for future research.
