An Initial Examination of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Mothers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Challenging Child Behaviors as Criterion A Traumatic Stressors / Alexandra SCHNABEL in Autism Research, 13-9 (September 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 13-9 (September 2020) . - p.1527-1536 Titre : An Initial Examination of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Mothers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Challenging Child Behaviors as Criterion A Traumatic Stressors Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Alexandra SCHNABEL, Auteur ; David J. HALLFORD, Auteur ; Michelle STEWART, Auteur ; Jane A. MCGILLIVRAY, Auteur ; David FORBES, Auteur ; David W. AUSTIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1527-1536 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Parenting a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with high levels of stress. Several studies have conceptualized this as a traumatic stress response to challenging child behaviors such as self-harm, suicidal ideation, and physical aggression toward caregivers. In the present study, we explored the relevance of a trauma-based diagnostic framework to a sample of 30 mothers (M age = 42.97, SD = 5.82) of children with ASD (M age = 12.43, SD = 3.15). Participants were interviewed using the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5) for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and an abbreviated Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview to assess for comorbidity. Three participants were excluded as they met criteria for PTSD from a traumatic event unrelated to their parenting experience. Of the remaining 27 participants, 6 (22.2%) met criteria for PTSD in the context of traumatic parenting experiences. Descriptions of traumatic events experienced are summarized. Results suggest that, for some parents, challenging child behaviors such as physical violence toward the caregiver from the child, self-injurious behaviors, and suicidal behaviors function as traumatic stressors as per Criterion A of PTSD (American Psychiatric Association [2013]. Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders [DSM-5]. Arlington, VA). This has implications for health professionals engaged with parents of children with ASD, who should consider the possibility of PTSD when challenging behaviors of a potentially traumatic nature are present.

Lay Summary This study found that some challenging behaviors exhibited by children with autism spectrum disorder can be traumatic for parents and lead to the development of post-traumatic stress disorder. Some of these behaviors included self-harming behaviors like head banging, expressing suicidal urges, and becoming physically aggressive toward parents during meltdowns.

Challenging child behaviours positively predict symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder in parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Rare Diseases / Michelle STEWART in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 69 (January 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 69 (January 2020) . - p.101467 Titre : Challenging child behaviours positively predict symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder in parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Rare Diseases Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Michelle STEWART, Auteur ; Alexandra SCHNABEL, Auteur ; David J.

AUSTIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101467 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  ASD  Rare diseases  Traumatic stress  Trauma  PTSD Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background This study investigated the validity of conceptualising elevated stress in parents of children who exhibit challenging behaviour within the framework of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It was hypothesised that parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and parents of children with a rare disease would endorse greater PTSD symptomatology than parents of typically developing (TD) children, and that challenging child behaviours would positively predict PTSD symptomatology. Method The Life Events Checklist for DSM-5, Developmental Behaviour Checklist (Parent) and PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 were administered to 395 parents. Results Significantly more PTSD symptomatology was reported by parents of children with ASD and parents of children with a rare disease than parents of TD children, and challenging child behaviours positively predicted PTSD symptomatology in both groups. Conclusion A PTSD framework may validly explain elevated stress among some parents of children with ASD and parents of children with a rare disease, and has important implications for support delivered to parents by healthcare providers.

Psychopathology in parents of children with autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review and meta-analysis of prevalence / A. SCHNABEL in Autism, 24-1 (January 2020)

AUSTIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.26-40 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  meta-analysis  parental psychopathology  prevalence Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Parents of children with autism spectrum disorder appear to experience high levels of psychological distress, yet little is known about the prevalence of psychological disorders in this population. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to estimate the proportion of these parents who experience clinically significant psychopathology. Articles reporting proportions of psychological disorders in a sample of parents of children with autism spectrum disorder were located. The initial search returned 25,988 articles. Thirty-one studies with a total sample of 9208 parents were included in the final review. The median meta-analytic proportions were 31% (95% confidence interval = [24%, 38%]) for depressive disorders, 33% (95% confidence interval = [20%, 48%]) for anxiety disorders, 10% (95% confidence interval = [1%, 41%]) for obsessive-compulsive disorder, 4% (95% confidence interval = [0%, 22%]) for personality disorders, 2% (95% confidence interval = [1%, 4%]) for alcohol and substance use disorders and 1% (95% confidence interval = [0%, 5%]) for schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Significant heterogeneity was detected in these categories. Further research is needed to gain more insight into variables that may moderate parental psychopathology. This review and meta-analysis is the first to provide prevalence estimates of psychological disorders in parents of children with autism spectrum disorder.
