The present study examined which aspects of the child's behavior and clinical profile accounted for three dimensions of parenting stress: related to parenting roles, to interactions with the child, and to the child. Measures of adaptive behavior, intellectual functioning, autism symptom severity, and challenging behavior and emotional difficulties were examined as predictors of parenting stress in 157 mothers of children recently diagnosed with autism. Children's emotional problems and aggressive behavior were most predictive of parenting distress, whereas autism symptoms along with emotional problems and aggressive behavior, respectively, were linked to stress pertaining to interactions and to the child. These findings underscore the need for comprehensive and complementary interventions that focus on children's behavior and symptoms but also on parent adjustment.
与育儿角色相关、与儿童互动相关以及与儿童自身相关。本研究对 157 名最近被诊断为自闭症的儿童的母亲进行了适应行为、智力功能、自闭症症状严重程度以及挑战性行为和情绪困难的测量，以评估其对父母压力的预测作用。儿童的情绪问题和攻击性行为最能预测父母的困扰，而自闭症症状以及情绪问题和攻击性行为分别与互动和儿童相关的压力有关。这些发现强调了需要综合和互补的干预措施，这些措施既要关注儿童的行为和症状，也要关注父母的适应情况。
