Titre : Anger, Stress Proliferation, and Depressed Mood Among Parents of Children with ASD: A Longitudinal Replication Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Paul R. BENSON, Auteur ; Kristie L. KARLOF, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.350-362 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD Autism-spectrum-disorder Stress-proliferation Depression Anger Social-support Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Stress proliferation (the tendency for stressors to create additional stressors) has been suggested as an important contributor to depression among caregivers. The present study utilized longitudinal data from 90 parents of children with ASD to replicate and extend a prior cross-sectional study on stress proliferation by Benson (J Autism Develop Disord 36:685–695, 2006). Consistent with Benson’s earlier findings, regression analyses indicated that stress proliferation mediated the effect of child symptom severity on parent depression. Parent anger was also found to mediate the effect of symptom severity on stress proliferation as well as the effect of stress proliferation on parent depression. Finally, informal social support was found to be related to decreased parent depressed mood over time. Implications of study findings are discussed.

Titre : Assessing expressed emotion in mothers of children with autism: The Autism-Specific Five Minute Speech Sample Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Paul R. BENSON, Auteur ; Dave M. DALEY, Auteur ; Kristie L. KARLOF, Auteur ; Dorothy ROBISON, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.65-82 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Expressed emotion (EE) is a measure of family emotional climate found to be predictive of symptom levels in a range of psychiatric, medical, and developmental disorders, including autism. Method: Employing data from 104 mothers of children with autism, this study examines the Autism-Specific Five Minute Speech Sample (AFMSS), a modified EE coding system based on the widely used Five Minute Speech Sample (Magana et al., 1986). Findings: With the exception of one EE component, emotional over-involvement, the revised coding system demonstrated adequate internal consistency and good to excellent inter-rater and code-recode reliability. It also demonstrated acceptable validity, based on its significant correlations with factors linked to EE in previous research. Regression analyses also indicated AFMSS-EE to be a significant predictor of child social competence, but not child problem behaviors. Discussion: While further testing is required, the AFMSS appears to be a useful method of assessing EE within the context of parenting children with autism and related disorders.

Titre : Child, parent, and family predictors of latter adjustment in siblings of children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Paul R. BENSON, Auteur ; Kristie L. KARLOF, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.583-600 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Siblings Autism Adjustment Family Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Research findings examining the adjustment of siblings of children with autism has been inconsistent, with some studies concluding that siblings are negatively impacted, while others have found no adverse effects. We argue that one reason for these inconsistent findings may be the failure by some investigators to take into account the increased genetic vulnerability faced by siblings of children with autism. In this study, we assessed the adjustment of siblings, with and without a diagnosed non-medical disability or disorder, using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire [Goodman, R. (2001). Psychometric properties of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Journal of American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 40, 1337–1341]. When compared to non-diagnosed siblings and a large normative sample, diagnosed siblings scored significantly higher in terms of adjustment difficulties and lower in terms of prosocial behavior. In addition, in hierarchical regressions, several child, parent, and family factors were found to be significant predictors of adjustment among non-diagnosed siblings when assessed 2 years latter, while no explanatory variables were significantly linked to latter adjustment outcomes among siblings with a diagnosed disability or disorder. Study limitations and implications are discussed. En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.rasd.2007.12.002 Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=607

Titre : Coping and Psychological Adjustment Among Mothers of Children with ASD: An Accelerated Longitudinal Study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Paul R. BENSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1793-1807 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Coping Stress Psychological adjustment Autism spectrum disorders ASD Mothers Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Utilizing a cohort sequential design and multilevel modeling on a sample of 113 mothers, the effects of four coping strategies (engagement, disengagement, distraction, and cognitive reframing) on multiple measures of maternal adjustment were assessed over a 7 years period when children with autism spectrum disorders in the study were approximately 7–14 years old. Findings indicated increased use of disengagement and distraction to be related to increased maternal maladjustment over time, while increased use of cognitive reframing was linked to improved maternal outcomes (findings regarding engagement’s effects on adjustment measures were mixed). In addition, results indicated that use of different coping strategies at times moderated the effects of child behavior on maternal adjustment. Study findings are discussed in light of prior research and study limitations and clinical implications are highlighted.

Titre : Coping, distress, and well-being in mothers of children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Paul R. BENSON, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.217-228 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Coping Distress Well-being Mothers Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : As is the case in stress research generally, studies examining the relationship between coping and mental health outcomes in parents of children with autism frequently classify parental coping methods as being either problem- or emotion-focused. We argue that this dichotomization of coping strategies oversimplifies the way parents respond to their child's autism. In the present study, the coping methods employed by 113 mothers of children with autism were investigated using the Brief COPE (Carver et al., 1989). Exploratory factor analysis of Brief COPE subscales identified four reliable coping dimensions: engagement coping, distraction coping, disengagement coping, and cognitive reframing coping. In addition, using multiple regression, we examined the relationship of coping strategies to negative and positive maternal outcomes (depression, anger, and well-being). In general, maternal use of avoidant coping (distraction and disengagement) was found to be associated with increased levels of maternal depression and anger, while use of cognitive reframing was associated with higher levels of maternal well-being. In several instances, child characteristics, particularly severity of child maladaptive behavior, moderated the effect of coping on maternal outcomes. Study findings are discussed in light of previous research in the area; in addition, study limitations and clinical implications are highlighted.
