AbstractBackground Previous research has raised concerns about the quality of life (QoL) of parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A better understanding of parental QoL can inform clinicians and policymakers and lead to improved outcomes for both parents and children. Aims This review aimed to systematically examine studies measuring the QoL among parents of children with ASD (<18 years) and to investigate its parental, child-related and contextual associated factors. Methodology An electronic database search was conducted using Medline, Psycinfo, Embase, CINAHL, Biosis, ASSIA, Social Services Abstracts, Sociological Abstracts and Open grey. Results This review indicated poorer QoL among parents of children with ASD compared to parents of typically developing children or to population norms. Variables associated with lower parental QoL within this group included child behavioural difficulties, unemployment, being a mother and lack of social support. Conclusion This review verified previous reports on lower QoL among parents of children with ASD and highlighted potential areas of support. Implications for future research, policy and practice are discussed. |
