HARTLEY, Auteur Année de publication : 2024 Article en page(s) : p.102371 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Resilience  Mental health  Stressful life events  Stress Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autistic children experience more stressful life events (SLEs) than their neurotypical peers, which are related to poor mental health outcomes in both neurotypical and autistic individuals. However, there is a lack of longitudinal research assessing the perceived impact of stressful life events on autistic children?s mental health. Method Utilizing a novel statistical technique (Ratcliff et al., 2019), called 'area of resilience to stress events' or ARSE in R, we aimed to quantify aspects of resilience, growth, and non-resilience for 67 autistic children (6-13 years old) enrolled in a larger longitudinal study who experienced a SLE. Parents reported demographic information (e.g., child age, biological sex, household income) as well as the child?s internalizing and externalizing symptoms and autism characteristics across multiple time points spaced one year apart (baseline, T2, T3, T4). Results There was substantial variability in the resilience process within the sample. Older children exhibited a less adaptive resilience process (i.e., higher total scaled scores or arsets). Perceived stress of the disruptive event was not correlated with resilience; however, there was a significant child age x stress severity interaction, suggesting that younger children in households that perceived the disruptive event as highly stressful exhibited more efficient resilience, or lower arsets scores, compared to other children. Conclusions This study introduces an innovative methodological approach to understanding the effects of stressful life events on the mental health of autistic children. Results have implications for family-based policy and practice and highlight for whom services may be most beneficial.

Results of the current study of 105 adolescents with ASD (n?=?50 girls, 55 boys) indicated that girls and boys experience similar types of PV at similar frequencies. However, relational victimization accounted for a significant portion of variance in anxiety symptoms, above and beyond social communication deficits and restricted and repetitive behaviors, in girls but not in boys. Findings provide preliminary evidence suggesting that the impact of PV on mental health symptoms may be different for girls and boys with ASD, highlighting the need for more research focused on understanding potentially unique social processes for adolescent girls with ASD.

Do family mealtime interactions mediate the association between asthma symptoms and separation anxiety? / Barbara H. FIESE in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 51-2 (February 2010)

Family members play an essential role for children to emotionally manage their symptoms. This study aimed to examine the relation between severity of respiratory symptoms in children with asthma and separation anxiety. Relying on direct observation of family interactions during a mealtime, a model is tested whereby family interactions mediate the relation between asthma severity and separation anxiety symptoms. Methods: Sixty-three children (ages 9–12 years) with persistent asthma were interviewed via the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children IV; family interactions were assessed via direct observation of a mealtime; primary caregivers completed the Childhood Asthma Severity Scale; youth pulmonary function was ascertained with pre- and post-bronchodilator spirometry; adherence to asthma medications was objectively tracked for six weeks. Results: Poorer pulmonary function and higher functional asthma severity were related to higher numbers of separation anxiety symptoms. Controlling for medication adherence, family interaction patterns mediated the relationship between poorer pulmonary function and child separation anxiety symptoms. Conclusions: Family mealtime interactions may be a mechanism by which respiratory disorders are associated with separation anxiety symptoms in children, potentially through increasing the child's capacity to cognitively frame asthma symptoms as less threatening, or through increasing the child's sense of security within their family relationships.

Family level processes associated with outcomes for individuals with autism spectrum disorder: A scoping review / Jessica L. GREENLEE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 53 (September 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 53 (September 2018) . - p.41-52 Titre : Family level processes associated with outcomes for individuals with autism spectrum disorder: A scoping review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jessica L.

Despite the recognition of reciprocal influences in the family, research on families of individuals with ASD has tended to focus on child effects within a dyadic subsystem and not necessarily family effects. Thus, this review focuses on whether and how family processes are associated with the behavioral, social, and/or emotional development of individuals with ASD. Method A scoping review was conducted to synthesize existing empirical literature regarding links from family functioning to individual outcomes. Family systems approaches are used along with ecological models to provide an inclusive, guiding framework for research design and interpretation of findings in family-based ASD research. Results Results suggest that family-wide factors such as adaptability, cohesion, social support, dynamics, and functioning may be important for child development. However, the heterogeneity of the body of literature reviewed makes definitive conclusions difficult. Conclusions Recommendations for future research, including the need for theoretically grounded, developmentally appropriate, models that highlight the unique strengths, challenges, and cultural influences of families of an individual with ASD are discussed.

The current study adds to research in this area by including markers of the immune and neuroendocrine systems in a longitudinal study of temperament in infants. Observational and parent-reported ratings of infant temperament, serum markers of the innate immune system, and cortisol reactivity from repeated salivary collections were examined in a sample of 123 infants who were assessed at 6 months and again when they were, on average, 17 months old. Blood from venipuncture was collected for analyses of nine select innate immune cytokines; salivary cortisol collected prior to and 15 min and 30 min following a physical exam including blood draw was used as an index of neuroendocrine functioning. Analyses indicated fairly minimal significant associations between biological markers and temperament at 6 months. However, by 17 months of age, we found reliable and nonoverlapping associations between observed fearful temperament and biological markers of the immune and neuroendocrine systems. The findings provide some of the earliest evidence of robust biological correlates of fear behavior with the immune system, and identify possible immune and neuroendocrine mechanisms for understanding the origins of behavioral development.
