The Relationship

Abstract.Research shows the relationship between having children with neurodevelopmental disorders and family stress. The Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD has its own symptoms and a number of additional problems that give it a distinctive profile. These differences are reflected in the levels of stress shown by caregivers of children with the disorder. Coping is a reaction to behavioral and / or psychological stress, aimed at reducing the destructive stress attributes. Theories of stress and coping, as well as more specific models of family accommodation show how coping strategies have an important role in the outcome of adaptation. Consequently, depending on the type of coping strategies used by parents, the stress index will change. This study examines the relationship between family stress and coping strategies in parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.Keywords: Autism Spectrum Disorder, caregivers, stress and coping.Resumen.STRESS AND COPING IN FAMILIES OF CHILDREN DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERDiversas investigaciones muestran la relación existente entre tener hijos con Trastornos del neurodesarrollo y el estrés familiar. El Trastorno del Espectro Autista o TEA tiene una sintomatología y una serie de problemas añadidos que le confieren un perfil característico que lo diferencia y aleja de otros trastornos similares. Estas diferencias se ponen de manifiesto en los niveles de estrés presentes en los cuidadores de niños con dicho trastorno. El afrontamiento es una reacción al estrés de tipo conductual y/o psicológico dirigido a reducir las cualidades destructivas del estrés. Las teorías de estrés y afrontamiento, así como los modelos más específicos de adaptación familiar muestran cómo las estrategias de afrontamiento tienen un importante papel en el resultado de adaptación. Así pues dependiendo del tipo de estrategias de afrontamiento utilizadas por los padres, el índice de estrés variará. Este estudio analiza la relación del estrés familiar y las estrategias de afrontamiento en los padres de niños con TEA.Palabras clave: Trastorno del Espectro Autista, cuidadores, estrés y estrategias de afrontamiento.

Spectrum Disorder

This study examined the longitudinal associations between child behavior problems, coping strategies, social resources, and parenting stress in mothers of young children with autism spectrum disorder. Participants were 283 mothers who completed self- and child-report measures at the time of diagnosis and 2 years later. Hierarchical multiple regression was conducted to predict overall parenting stress. At diagnosis, the final model indicated that high levels of social support and mothers’ use of active engaged coping strategies were associated with lower levels of parenting stress. Conversely, high levels of child externalizing behavior problems, family dysfunction, and mothers’ use of disengaged coping strategies were associated with higher parenting stress. Two years later, high levels of parenting stress at diagnosis predicted increased parenting stress. In addition, high or increasing levels of social support predicted a decrease in parenting stress, while high or increasing levels of family dysfunction predicted increased stress. Finally, increased use of disengaged coping strategies and decreased use of active coping strategies over time predicted higher levels of parenting stress. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for the provision of targeted supports that are designed to enhance the personal and social resources available to mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder.

Coping strategies were significant predictors of psychosocial adaptation in parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Self-help groups could be effective resources for parents in dealing with problems wile caring for children with ASD. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of self-help groups on coping strategies in parents of children with ASD. This study used pre and post quasi-experimental tests without a control group using self-help group interventions. There were thirty-three participants taken from the Malang City Autism Service Center using purposive sampling. Coping strategies based on cognitive and psychomotor abilities were measured using a questionnaire. The results showed paired t-test in all groups, at 5% significance level, statistically significant difference between mean score before and after self-help group interventions. Coping strategies in groups that received two supervised sessions and four times independently reached higher score compared to other groups. It can be concluded that it is important to implement self-help groups for parents who care for children with special needs.
