LEE, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Gilliam Autism Rating Scale-Second Edition (GARS-2) is a widely used screening instrument that assists in the identification and diagnosis of autism. The purpose of this study was to examine the factor structure, internal consistency, and screening sensitivity of the GARS-2 using ratings from special education teaching staff for a sample of 240 individuals with autism or other significant developmental disabilities. Exploratory factor analysis yielded a correlated three-factor solution similar to that found in 2005 by Lecavalier for the original GARS. Though the three factors appeared to be reasonably consistent with the intended constructs of the three GARS-2 subscales, the analysis indicated that more than a third of the GARS-2 items were assigned to the wrong subscale. Internal consistency estimates met or exceeded standards for screening and were generally higher than those in previous studies. Screening sensitivity was .65 and specificity was .81 for the Autism Index using a cut score of 85. Based on these findings, recommendations are made for instrument revision.

Needs, strain, coping, and mental health among caregivers of individuals with autism spectrum disorder: A moderated mediation analysis / G. K. LEE in Autism, 23-8 (November 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 23-8 (November 2019) . - p.1936-1947 Titre : Needs, strain, coping, and mental health among caregivers of individuals with autism spectrum disorder: A moderated mediation analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : G. K. LEE, Auteur ; K. KRIZOVA, Auteur ; C. M. SHIVERS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1936-1947 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : caregiving strain  coping  mental health  service needs Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study investigated the relationships among caregiving strain, coping, and mental health among caregivers of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the mediational moderation of caregiver needs. One hundred and ninety-three caregivers of individuals with ASD completed an online survey. Results showed that maladaptive coping behaviors were significant in mediating the relationship between strain and mental health. Professional service and emotional caregiving needs moderated the relationship between maladaptive coping and mental health at times of high caregiving strain, but not involvement, health information, and instrumental support needs. Results highlighted the negative effect of maladaptive coping, as well as professional service and emotional support needs were salient in moderating coping and mental health in times of high caregiving strain.
