Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) and anxiety were measured in 233 school-age siblings of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and siblings of Typically Developing (TD) children in Greece. The aim of the study was to investigate for any association between siblings' HRQOL or anxiety and parental mental health, perceived social support as well as major demographic factors. It was found that the disability group (ASD-sibs) showed elevated anxiety levels and poorer HRQOL than controls. In hierarchical multiple regression models, the anxiety of ASD-sibs was significantly associated with parental anxiety independent of parental perceived social support and demographic factors, whereas the HRQOL of ASD-sibs was associated with perceived social support independent of parental physical and mental health and demographic factors.
在希腊，研究人员对 233 名自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患者的学龄期兄弟姐妹和一般发育（TD）儿童的兄弟姐妹进行了健康相关生活质量（HRQOL）和焦虑的测量。本研究旨在调查兄弟姐妹的 HRQOL 或焦虑与父母心理健康、感知社会支持以及主要人口统计学因素之间是否存在关联。结果发现，残疾组（ASD 组的兄弟姐妹）表现出较高的焦虑水平和较差的 HRQOL。在分层多元回归模型中，ASD 组的兄弟姐妹的焦虑与父母的焦虑显著相关，而与父母感知的社会支持和人口统计学因素无关，而 ASD 组的兄弟姐妹的 HRQOL 与感知的社会支持相关，而与父母的身心健康和人口统计学因素无关。
