Daily experiences and well-being of Chinese parents of children with autism / Hui WANG in Autism, 27-6 (August 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 27-6 (August 2023) . - p.1560-1574 Titre : Daily experiences and well-being of Chinese parents of children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Hui WANG, Auteur ; Sihan LIU, Auteur ; Jianjie XU, Auteur ; Xiaoyi HU, Auteur ; Zhuo Rachel HAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1560-1574 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder;child-related stress;coping;daily diary;social support;well-being Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Parents of children with autism experience significant stress and challenges in daily life that can impact their well-being. Using a daily diary method, the present study examined the same-day and next-day associations between child-related stress, social support, coping, and parental well-being outcomes (i.e. life satisfaction, positive and negative affect). A total of 76 parents (58 mothers) of autistic children participated in the study and completed daily diaries for 14 consecutive days. Multilevel modeling analyses indicated that child-related stress and social support were associated with same-day life satisfaction only in mothers. Moreover, positive coping on a given day was not only related to more positive affect and higher life satisfaction on the same day but also to higher life satisfaction on the next day, whereas negative coping was only related to higher negative affect and lower positive affect on the same day in both parents. These findings emphasize the benefits of positive coping and social support in raising children with autism, which may contribute toward the further development of existing support programs for parents of children with autism.Lay abstractThe present study examined the influences of child-related stress, parental coping and social support on parental daily subjective well-being (i.e. positive and negative affect, life satisfactory) in Chinese families of children with autism spectrum disorder. For 14?days, a total of 76 parents (58 mothers) participated in the study and completed daily diaries. For mothers, child-related stress was related to lower life satisfaction; social support was related to higher life satisfaction that day. These daily relations were not found for fathers. Across all parents, avoidant coping was associated with higher negative affect and lower positive affect on the same day. Notably, daily positive coping was related to greater same-day positive affect as well as greater same-day and next-day life satisfaction. Interventions aimed at increasing positive coping and social support, and reducing child-related stress and avoidant coping are important to help parents maintain well-being, particularly for mothers of children with autism.

It is important to identify factors associated with parenting stress. This study examined the indirect effect of parental dispositional mindfulness on their anxiety and depressive symptoms and family quality of life (FQOL) through mindful parenting and then parenting stress. Seventy-nine Chinese parents (24.1% fathers) of children with ASD aged 3-13 years completed self-report questionnaires. Results indicated that higher dispositional mindfulness was associated with higher mindful parenting, which was related to lower parenting stress, and further related to lower anxiety and depressive symptoms and higher FQOL. The findings provide valuable insight into the potential pathways through which general mindfulness and mindful parenting may positively impact parental outcomes.

Social support and depression of autistic children?s caregivers: The mediating role of caregivers' self-esteem / Huilun LI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 108 (October 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 108 (October 2023) . - p.102241 Titre : Social support and depression of autistic children?s caregivers: The mediating role of caregivers' self-esteem Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Huilun LI, Auteur ; Ya SU, Auteur ; Chengcheng WANG, Auteur ; Qingqing RAN, Auteur ; Liangzhi TU, Auteur ; Erliang ZHANG, Auteur ; Jinjun RAN, Auteur ; Hui WANG, Auteur ; Na ZHANG, Auteur ; Yinghui WU, Auteur ; Mi XIANG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102241 Mots-clés : Autism  Caregiver  Self-esteem  Depression  Social support Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Social support and self-esteem have been associated with depression in ASD caregivers. However, the mechanism of action and the self-esteem status of Chinese ASD caregivers have not been revealed. This study was designed to examine the potential paths among self-esteem, social support, and depression. In addition, we examined the self-esteem status of ASD caregivers in China. Methods A total of 6120 participants were recruited via an online survey in China in this cross-sectional study. Caregivers younger than 60 years old and with an autistic child/children aged between 0 and 18 years were eligible for the study. The Sobel-Goodman mediation (SGM) test was performed to investigate the mediating effect of self-esteem between social support and depression. Results The indirect effect was statistically significant (? = ?0.128, p = 0.049). The proportion of the total effect mediated by self-esteem was 24.6 %. Low self-esteem was observed in 60.64 % of the study participants, and 55.51 b% scored high in depression. A large percentage of study participants scored high in depression (56.89 %) and scored low in self-esteem (61.30 %) when not receiving any social support. Conclusion The findings suggest a significant mediating effect of self-esteem on the association between social support and depression, indicating that receiving more social support decreases the depression level by increasing the ASD caregivers' self-esteem.

Synchrony of Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia in Parents and Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Moderation by Interaction Quality and Child Behavior Problems / Hui WANG in Autism Research, 14-3 (March 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-3 (March 2021) . - p.512-522 Titre : Synchrony of Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia in Parents and Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Moderation by Interaction Quality and Child Behavior Problems Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Hui WANG, Auteur ; Cynthia SUVEG, Auteur ; Kara B WEST, Auteur ; Zhuo Rachel HAN, Auteur ; Xutong ZHANG, Auteur ; Xiaoyi HU, Auteur ; Li YI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.512-522 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  interaction quality  internalizing problems  physiological synchrony  respiratory sinus arrhythmia Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Parent-child physiological synchrony, the matching of physiological states between parents and children, is theorized to be important for typically developing (TD) children, but less is known about this process in families of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In a sample of 29 children (M age = 8.00?years, SD = 1.51?years) with ASD and 39 TD-matched children (M age = 7.32?years, SD = 1.36?years) and their primary caregivers (n = 68), we examined whether parent-child dyads showed physiological synchrony indexed by respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) during an interaction, and whether RSA synchrony differed by parent-child interaction quality and child behavior problems. Results indicated that dyads with TD children showed stronger positive RSA synchrony than dyads with children with ASD. Furthermore, for families of children with ASD, RSA synchrony was stronger in families with higher interaction quality and fewer child internalizing problems. These results provide preliminary evidence of parent-child RSA synchrony in families of children with ASD and identify factors that may influence this physiological process. Implications of these findings for social and emotional development in children with ASD are discussed. LAY SUMMARY: Parents and children can get "in tune" with one another at the biological level - a process called physiological synchrony. We studied physiological synchrony in families of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in comparison to same-aged children who had no mental health disorders. We also examined how physiological synchrony might be associated with parent-child interaction quality and child behavior problems. We found that families with a child with ASD showed weaker physiological synchrony than families with a child who was typically developing. Further, we found that physiological synchrony was stronger when parents and children with ASD showed higher interaction quality and when children with ASD had lower internalizing problems. These findings contribute to our understanding of family functioning in the context of ASD and have potential implications for future work.
