Past research has supported the utility of the Double ABCX model of family adaptation for parents raising a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). What remains unclear is the impact of family-related variables on outcomes in both mothers and fathers within the same family. We explored the potential predictors of maternal and paternal stress and family quality of life in an Australian sample of 196 parents of children with ASD aged 3-16 years. Using a cross-sectional design, parents completed questionnaires assessing factors within the Double ABCX model attributed to family adaptation. Findings provide further evidence of the negative impact of child externalising behaviours and highlight the importance of family sense of coherence on positive parental outcomes.
过去的研究支持了家庭适应双ABCX模型对抚养自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童的父母的实用性。尚不清楚的是，家庭相关变量对同一家庭中父母双方的结果有何影响。我们在一个由196名3至16岁ASD儿童的澳大利亚父母组成的样本中，探讨了母亲和父亲压力以及家庭生活质量的潜在预测因素。采用横断面设计，父母完成了评估双ABCX模型中归因于家庭适应的因素的问卷。研究结果进一步证明了儿童外化行为的负面影响，并强调了家庭连贯感对积极的父母结果的重要性。
