[article]
Titre : Stress, Coping Strategies, and Quality of Life among Jordanian Parents of Children with Autistic Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Latefa A. DARDAS, Auteur Article en page(s) : 6 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic disorder Parents Quality of life Parenting stress Arabs Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Parents in different cultures show different psychological functioning when caring for a child with chronic disability such as Autistic Disorder. Arabs are united in a shared culture that is considered substantially different from their western counterparts. Nevertheless, no investigations regarding the experience of parenting a child with Autistic Disorder have been made in the Arab world yet. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the psychosocial impacts of raising children with Autistic Disorder in a sample from the Arab world. The study examined the levels of parenting stress, the coping strategies, and the levels of quality of life reported by Arab parents. Methods: Using a descriptive cross-sectional design, the convenience sample of the study consisted of 184 parents of children with Autistic Disorder. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires on parenting stress, coping strategies, and quality of life. Results: The results revealed that parents of children with Autistic Disorder experience significant high levels of parenting stress. Positive reappraisal was the most frequently used coping strategy among those parents. Meanwhile, confrontive coping was the least frequently used strategy. In regard to parents’ quality of life, parents reported poor physical, psychological, social, and environmental health scores, with mothers reporting relatively lower scores. The lowest scores for parents were reported on the environmental health domain. Conclusion: The findings from this study indicate that Jordanian parents of children with Autistic Disorder suffer significant impairments in their psychosocial health. Thus, those parents are in need for a wide range of support and educational programs that offer broad information about Autistic Disorder alongside with therapeutic and effective strategies to address their stressors and improve their quality of life.

Titre : Validation of the World Health Organization’s Quality of Life Questionnaire with Parents of Children with Autistic Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Latefa A. DARDAS, Auteur ; Muayyad M. AHMAD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2257-2263 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : WHOQOL-BREF Factor analysis Autistic Disorder Quality of life Psychometrics Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The World Health Organization’s Quality of Life Questionnaire-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) has been used in many studies that target parents of children with Autistic Disorder. However, the measure has yet to be validated and adapted to this sample group whose daily experiences are considered substantially different from those of parents of children with typical development and parents of children with other disabilities. Therefore, this study was designed to examine the psychometric properties and the theoretical structure of the WHOQOL-BREF with a sample of 184 parents of children with Autistic Disorder. The factor structure for the WHOQOL-BREF was examined using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Our analyses provided no evidence of a better model than the original 4-domain model. Nevertheless, some items in the measure were re-distributed to different domains based on theoretical meanings and/or clean loading criteria. The new model structure gained the measure’s required validity with parents of children with Autistic Disorder.
