PURPOSE
Caring for an autistic child is associated with elevated stress, anxiety and depression. Although some data suggest that 'child' or 'carer' factors may moderate the severity of carer distress, relatively few international comparisons have been made, limiting the generalizability of previous findings. This study aimed to address this issue.
METHOD
A survey-based comparison was made of carers from three nations (Australia, Denmark, Greece), and the effects of demographic, child, and carer variables upon carer anxiety and depression were investigated.
RESULTS
Only limited cross-nation consistency was found for nation, child, or carer variables and their effects upon carer anxiety or depression.
CONCLUSION
The application of universal treatment models for carer anxiety and depression may be of differing value across nations.
目的
照顾自闭症儿童与压力、焦虑和抑郁程度升高有关。尽管一些数据表明“儿童”或“照顾者”因素可能会缓和照顾者痛苦的严重程度，但进行的国际比较相对较少，这限制了以往研究结果的普遍性。本研究旨在解决这一问题。
方法
对来自三个国家（澳大利亚、丹麦、希腊）的照顾者进行了基于调查的比较，并研究了人口统计学、儿童和照顾者变量对照顾者焦虑和抑郁的影响。
结果
在国家、儿童或照顾者变量及其对照顾者焦虑或抑郁的影响方面，仅发现了有限的跨国一致性。
结论
针对照顾者焦虑和抑郁的通用治疗模式在不同国家可能具有不同的价值。
