This study aimed to identify parental stress predictors in ASD by considering individual and environmental factors in an ecological approach. Participants were 115 parents of children with ASD aged from 3 to 10 years. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to determine the best predictors of parental stress among child-related, parent-related and environmental factors. Poor quality interactions within the extended family, high levels of expressed emotion and absence of children's schooling were associated with higher stress, regardless of the child's age and developmental quotient [F (3) = 37.051; p < 0.001; Adj. R(2) = 0.457]. This study highlights the importance of considering environmental factors, specifically family variables, to understand parental stress. These key findings should be considered when designing support programs.
本研究旨在通过生态学方法考虑个体和环境因素,确定自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)中父母压力的预测因素。参与者为115名3至10岁自闭症儿童的父母。进行了多元回归分析,以确定在与孩子相关、与父母相关和环境因素中,哪些是父母压力的最佳预测因素。无论孩子的年龄和发育商如何,大家庭中互动质量差、高表达情绪水平以及孩子未上学与更高的压力相关[F(3)=37.051;p<0.001;调整后R(2)=0.457]。本研究强调了考虑环境因素,特别是家庭变量对于理解父母压力的重要性。在设计支持项目时应考虑这些关键发现。
