| Résumé : |
Background Elopement, a common wandering behavior among the population with autism, is explored in this study by examining the perceptions of Kurdish parents of their autistic children. There is limited research on the opinions of Kurdish caregivers regarding the various behaviors associated with autism. Methods A mixed-methods approach was used, surveying 101 Kurdish parents of autistic children who attended a daycare center in Erbil. The study included evaluating caregivers through different health scales and conducting interviews to gather their expressed ideas. Results Parents of children who exhibited elopement reported higher stress levels compared to those without. The study also revealed that Kurdish parents use various terms to describe elopement behavior. Conclusions This study highlights that the majority of the sample of Kurdish caregivers reported feeling a heightened sense of stress, trauma, and an increase in the risk of family conflicts when discussing the elopement behaviors of their children. Further research is crucial to improve our knowledge of how behaviors like wandering are perceived by caregivers of individuals with autism in low and middle-income countries. |
