Research shows that parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are burdened with childcare responsibilities and at increased risk for elevated stress and poor family quality of life (FQOL). Little is known, however, about the dynamic interactions between mothers' and fathers' perceived parenting stress in relating to parental involvement and FQOL, especially in the Chinese cultural context.
This study examined the intrapersonal and interpersonal effects of parenting stress on parental involvement and FQOL for families of children with ASD in mainland China.
A total of 210 Chinese couples (total N = 420) completed measures of caregiving involvement, perceived parenting stress, and FQOL. The Actor-Partner Interdependence Mediation Model (APIMeM) was employed to examine the dyadic relationships among the variables.
Both parents' parenting stress was negatively associated with their own involvement and FQOL. Moreover, fathers' parenting stress was indirectly related to mothers' perceptions of FQOL through their involvement in the care of their child with ASD.
The findings highlight the important roles of fathers' parenting stress and involvement in affecting their own and their partners' satisfaction with FQOL within Chinese families raising a child with ASD.
研究表明，自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童的父母肩负着照顾孩子的责任，面临着更高的压力和较差的家庭生活质量（FQOL）的风险。然而，在中国文化背景下，关于父母感知到的育儿压力与父母参与度和 FQOL 之间的动态相互作用，我们知之甚少。
本研究旨在探讨父母育儿压力对中国 ASD 儿童家庭父母参与度和 FQOL 的个体内和个体间影响。
共有 210 对中国夫妇（总 N = 420）完成了照顾参与度、感知育儿压力和 FQOL 的测量。采用 Actor-Partner Interdependence Mediation Model（APIMeM）来检验变量之间的对偶关系。
父母双方的育儿压力均与自身参与度和 FQOL 呈负相关。此外，父亲的育儿压力通过他们对患有 ASD 儿童的照顾参与度，间接地影响了母亲对 FQOL 的感知。
这些发现强调了父亲的育儿压力和参与度在影响中国 ASD 儿童家庭中父母自身和伴侣对 FQOL 的满意度方面的重要作用。
