Abstract
Background: In today's era, the use of pacifiers is common in infants and toddlers aged 4-6 years. However, the use of a pacifier itself remains a topic of debate. This study aims to provide an analysis and overview of the effect of pacifier use on articulation ability in children aged 4-6 years.
Method: This study employs a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional research design, utilizing purposive sampling techniques, and includes 37 respondents. In this study, the data will be analyzed univariately and bivariately, using Kendall's Tau statistical test.
Result: The results of Kendall's Tau statistical test analysis showed a p-value of 0.383 (p > 0.05), a correlation coefficient value of -0.145, which falls into the very weak category, and a negative correlation direction.
Conclusion: There is no effect of pacifier use on articulation ability in children aged 4-6 years at Sri Juwita Hanum Kindergarten; however, it falls into the very weak and opposite category.
