Anxiety And Depression

This study aimed to examine parenting self-efficacy especially in mothers who have children with autism spectrum disorder and who suffer from parenting stress. They showed symptoms of anxiety and depression, which indicated parenting stress. Parenting self-efficacy is predicted to be a factor that can decrease anxiety and depression. There were 45 mothers from the city of Surabaya selected through purposive sampling technique to be the participants of this study. The data were collected through a survey using questionnaires concerning Self-efficacy for Parenting Task Index (SEPTI) and Parenting Stress Index Short Form (PSI-SF). The data analyzed using the statistical parametric of the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient showed that the correlation coefficient was -0.424 and the significance was 0.004. It was concluded that high parenting self-efficacy of mothers who have children with autism spectrum disorder correlates with parenting stress.

Planning Program

Autism Spectrum Disorder affects approximately 3.5 million people in the United States [1]. The transition from childhood to adolescence poses an increase in parenting stress. A key component to the parenting stress is the feeling of unpreparedness for the next phase of life. Parents/caregivers need to be better prepared for these stressful years. Transition planning programs have proven to provide parents/caregivers with knowledge needed to face these years; however, there is minimal research examining the effect of a transition planning program on parenting stress. The sample for this pilot study consisted of parent/caregivers caring for an adolescent with Autism Spectrum Disorder who attended one of the two schools that were utilized in Northeast Ohio. The design consisted of a pre-test (Parent Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF), transition planning program, and a post-test Parent Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF). Data was analyzed using a paired t test. A Transition Planning Program provides information needed to prepare for the challenges that lie ahead therefore reducing the parenting stress.

Research supports claims of benefits of therapeutic riding for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); however, the effect of specific subtypes of therapeutic riding (eg, therapeutic riding drill team) has been underinvestigated. Furthermore, the theories underlying therapeutic riding programs have not been well reported, especially among studies with children with ASD. This study used qualitative data from interviews to determine which aspects of Bandura's self-efficacy were evident among participants in a 16-week therapeutic riding drill team program. Results provided evidence of the presence of selfefficacy among participants during the program. Results of this study may be used to help recreational therapists target aspects of self-efficacy in therapeutic programs for children with ASD as a way to increase self-efficacy.

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.
