The severity of symptoms of anxiety and depression was evaluated in 102 parents of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and correlated with the severity of their child's behavioral symptoms.
An observational, cross-sectional study.
The Portuguese versions of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Aberrant Behavior Checklist were used to assess symptoms in the parents and in their children.
Depression was present in 26.7% of parents and anxiety in 33.7%. Severe behavioral symptoms in the child increased the likelihood of severe anxiety and depression symptoms in the parents by a factor of 35. If the child had severe behavioral symptoms and the father lived in the family home, the likelihood of severe symptoms of anxiety and depression in the parents was 95.2% lower.
The presence of the father living in the family home acted as a buffer against parents' symptoms.
对102名自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童的父母的焦虑和抑郁症状严重程度进行评估，并将其与孩子行为症状的严重程度相关联。
一项观察性横断面研究。
使用医院焦虑抑郁量表和异常行为检查表的葡萄牙语版本来评估父母及其孩子的症状。
26.7%的父母存在抑郁，33.7%存在焦虑。孩子的严重行为症状使父母出现严重焦虑和抑郁症状的可能性增加了35倍。如果孩子有严重行为症状且父亲居住在家庭中，父母出现严重焦虑和抑郁症状的可能性会降低95.2%。
父亲居住在家庭中对父母的症状起到了缓冲作用。
