Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

To determine the factors associated with stress among parents of children with autism.
Déterminer les facteurs associés au stress chez les parents d'enfants avec autisme.

STUDY DESIGN:

A cross-sectional field survey study.

PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY:

Department of Psychology, GC University, Lahore, from September 2012 to November 2013.

METHODOLOGY:

The sample consisted of 100 parents (50 mothers and 50 fathers) of children with autism. Measures of childhood autism rating, sense of coherence, parenting self-efficacy, parenting stress, and demographic data sheet were completed by the parents in outdoor units of children hospital, institutes, and at their homes.

RESULTS:

Significant correlations were found between severity of impairment and parenting stress (r = .53, p < .01), between parenting self-efficacy and parenting stress (r = -.35, p < .01, and between sense of coherence and parenting stress (r = -.26, p < .05). No significant gender difference emerged in terms of parenting self-efficacy, sense of coherence, and parenting stress. Results of stepwise regression partially supported our hypothesized model, as severity of child impairment, and parenting self-efficacy appeared as significant predictors of parenting stress (R2 = .35). However, there was no evidence of role of demographic variables in the parenting stress.
Des corrélations significatives ont été trouvées entre la gravité de la déficience et le stress parental (r = 0,53, p <0,01), entre l'auto-efficacité parentale  et le stress parental (r = -.35, p <0,01, et entre sens de la cohérence et le stress parental (r = -.26, p <0,05). Aucune différence significative entre les sexes n'a émergé en termes d'auto-efficacité parentale , de sens de la cohérence, et de stress parental. Les résultats de la régression progressive supportent partiellement notre modèle hypothétique, que la gravité de la déficience de l'enfant , et l'auto-efficacité parentale  apparaissent comme des prédicteurs significatifs de stress parental (R2 = 0,35). Cependant, il n'y avait aucune preuve du rôle des variables démographiques dans le stress parental.

CONCLUSION:

The severity of child's impairment emerged as the most salient risk factor for parenting stress; however, it was concluded that parents' ability and confidence in their competence of parenting a child in challenging situations may reduce their stress.
La gravité de la déficience de l'enfant est apparue comme le facteur de risque le plus saillant de stress parental; Toutefois, il a été conclu que la capacité et la confiance dans leur compétence de parentalité d'un enfant dans des situations difficiles peuvent réduire leur stress des parents.
