EKAS, Auteur ; Lisa TIMMONS, Auteur ; Megan PRUITT, Auteur ; Christine GHILAIN, Auteur ; Michael ALESSANDRI, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.1997-2007 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Mothers and fathers  Relationship satisfaction  Dyadic data analysis  Social support  Coping  Benefit finding Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The current study uses the actor-partner interdependence model to examine the predictors of relationship satisfaction for mothers and fathers of children with autism spectrum disorder. Sixty-seven couples completed measures of optimism, benefit finding, coping strategies, social support, and relationship satisfaction. Results indicated that parent’s positive strengths predicted better personal relationship satisfaction. Moreover, parents’ benefit finding, use of emotional support, and perceived social support from their partner also predicted their partner’s relationship satisfaction. The results of this study highlight the importance of focusing on positive factors that can enhance relationship quality. Implications for the development of parent-focused interventions are discussed.

The Relationship Between Optimism, Coping, and Depressive Symptoms in Hispanic Mothers and Fathers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Kelcie WILLIS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-7 (July 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 46-7 (July 2016) . - p.2427-2440 Titre : The Relationship Between Optimism, Coping, and Depressive Symptoms in Hispanic Mothers and Fathers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kelcie WILLIS, Auteur ; Lisa TIMMONS, Auteur ; Megan PRUITT, Auteur ; Hoa Lam SCHNEIDER, Auteur ; Michael ALESSANDRI, Auteur ; Naomi V. EKAS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2427-2440 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Hispanic  Optimism  Coping  Psychological well-being  Mothers  Fathers Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined gender differences in the relationship between dispositional optimism, coping, and depressive symptoms of Hispanic mothers (n = 46) and fathers (n = 43) of children with autism spectrum disorder. Coping was hypothesized to mediate the relationship between optimism and depressive symptoms. The results revealed that mothers reported greater depressive symptoms and greater use of positive and support coping than fathers; however, both mothers and fathers reported similar levels of optimism and use of avoidant coping. In addition, positive and avoidant coping strategies mediated the association between optimism and depressive symptoms for both mothers and fathers. Clinical implications for this study include interventions for improving optimistic outlooks as well as interventions that improve parents’ coping skills and therefore reduce negative outcomes.

The role of family cohesion in the psychological adjustment of non-Hispanic White and Hispanic mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder / Naomi V. EKAS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 21 (January 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 21 (January 2016) . - p.10-24 Titre : The role of family cohesion in the psychological adjustment of non-Hispanic White and Hispanic mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Naomi V. EKAS, Auteur ; Christine GHILAIN, Auteur ; Megan PRUITT, Auteur ; Seniz CELIMLI, Auteur ; Anibal GUTIERREZ, Auteur ; Michael ALESSANDRI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.10-24 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Parenting  Family cohesion  Hispanic  Depression  Mothers Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The current study utilizes a process-oriented approach to understand both personal and family factors influencing the development of depressive symptoms among non-Hispanic White and Hispanic mothers of children with ASD. Family cohesion was hypothesized to mediate the associations between the personal factors (optimism, benefit finding, social support) and depressive symptoms. Mothers of 117 children with ASD (Hispanic n = 73; non-Hispanic White n = 44) completed measures of depressive symptoms, family cohesion, social support, optimism, and benefit finding. Results from this study indicate that optimism, benefit finding, and social support are important predictors of positive maternal adjustment. Furthermore, these factors contribute to better family functioning, namely family cohesion. The mediation models containing optimism, benefit finding, partner and family support were significant for both Hispanic and non-Hispanic White mothers, suggesting a similar mediation process for both racial/ethnic groups. However, family cohesion was a significant mediator of the relationship between friend support and depressive symptoms for Hispanic mothers only. The results of this study complement and extend previous research examining family functioning among mothers of children with ASD and have implications for the development of interventions aimed at increasing maternal well-being.
