DYKENS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2126-2137 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Prader-Willi syndrome  Life satisfaction  Mothers  Coping Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Mothers of individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) often experience numerous stressors, even when compared to mothers of children with other intellectual and developmental disabilities. Despite this, these mothers show great variability in self-reported life satisfaction. Using data from a longitudinal study of individuals with PWS and their families, the present study analyzed factors related to maternal life satisfaction, both cross-sectionally and over time. Results show that both child factors (e.g., behavior problems, hyperphagia) and maternal factors (e.g., stress, coping style) were significantly related to maternal life satisfaction. However, none of the tested variables predicted change in life satisfaction over time. Research and practice implications are discussed.

Patterns and Predictors of Anxiety Among Siblings of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Carolyn M. SHIVERS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 43-6 (June 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 43-6 (June 2013) . - p.1336-1346 Titre : Patterns and Predictors of Anxiety Among Siblings of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Carolyn M.

Data was collected from 1,755 siblings of children with ASD whose families participated in the Simons Simplex Collection; siblings ranged in age from 3 to 18 years (M = 9 years). Male siblings were at increased risk for sub-clinical anxiety problems during middle childhood. Parental history of anxiety disorders, higher maternal pragmatic language, and more proband behavior problems predicted higher anxiety. While siblings overall did not show elevated anxiety symptoms, higher rates of sub-clinical anxiety problems among males and siblings in middle childhood are cause for concern.

Religiosity, Spirituality, and Socioemotional Functioning in Mothers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Naomi V. EKAS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 39-5 (May 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 39-5 (May 2009) . - p.706-719 Titre : Religiosity, Spirituality, and Socioemotional Functioning in Mothers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Naomi V. EKAS, Auteur ; Thomas L. WHITMAN, Auteur ; Carolyn M. SHIVERS, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.706-719 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Parenting-stress Social-support Religiosity Socioemotional-functioning Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Religious beliefs, religious activities, and spirituality are coping resources used by many mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study examined whether and how these resources were related to maternal socioemotional functioning. Mothers of children with ASD completed questionnaires assessing religiosity, spirituality, and a wide range of outcome variables, including stress, depression, self-esteem, life satisfaction, positive affect, and sense of control. Analyses revealed that religious beliefs and spirituality were associated with better positive outcomes and, to a lesser extent, lower levels of negative outcomes. Of the two predictors, spirituality accounted for more unique variance in positive outcomes. In contrast, religious activities were related to more negative outcomes and lower levels of positive outcomes.

Sibling Involvement in Interventions for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Systematic Review / Carolyn M. SHIVERS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-3 (March 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 45-3 (March 2015) . - p.685-696 Titre : Sibling Involvement in Interventions for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Systematic Review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Carolyn M. SHIVERS, Auteur ; Joshua B. PLAVNICK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.685-696 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Siblings  Autism spectrum disorder  Intervention  Review Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Many researchers have studied various interventions for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Occasionally, siblings will be included in intervention studies, participating in programs designed to address a number of challenges faced by individuals with ASD. Although sibling involvement in such interventions is not a new phenomenon, there is no consistent method for including siblings in treatment for individuals with ASD. The purpose of this article is to review the existing literature describing sibling involvement in interventions among families of children with ASD, describing patterns of research and targeted outcomes. The authors also identify gaps and areas for future consideration from researchers, clinicians, and families.
