Chronic Parenting Stress in Parents of Children with Autism: Associations with Chronic Stress in Their Child and Parental Mental and Physical Health / Anna VAN DER LUBBE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-7 (July 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-7 (July 2026) . - p.2752-2766 Titre : Chronic Parenting Stress in Parents of Children with Autism: Associations with Chronic Stress in Their Child and Parental Mental and Physical Health Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Anna VAN DER LUBBE, Auteur ; Hanna SWAAB, Auteur ; Robert VERMEIREN, Auteur ; Elisabeth F.C. VAN ROSSUM, Auteur ; I.D.C. VAN BALKOM, Auteur ; Wietske A. ESTER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2752-2766 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Parents of children with ASD often demonstrate high levels of stress and associated health problems. A gap in knowledge exists regarding the associations between chronic stress and mental and physical health of parents of young children with ASD, in which fathers have been understudied. In 181 parents (98 mothers, 83 fathers) of 99 young children with ASD chronic stress was measured using parental self-report and hair cortisol concentration (HCC) analysis. Parental mental health and eating behavior was measured using questionnaires. Physical health was evaluated by Body Mass Index, waist circumference, blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose.. Parental HCC was related with child HCC (rmothers = 0.51, p <.01; rfathers = 0.40, p <.01). Maternal HCC was associated with lower reported parenting stress (r = −.33, p <.01). Parental mental health problems and reported parenting stress were strongly related (r =.55-0.61, p <.01). Mental health problems were twice as frequent as in the norm-population (41.1–45.8% versus 20%). In both parents, reported parenting stress was associated with emotional eating behavior. HCC was associated with higher glucose levels in mothers. There were no associations between chronic stress and the other physical health measures in mothers and fathers. Parents of young children with ASD are at high risk for chronic stress, with impact for their mental and physical health. Additionally, chronic stress of parents, cannot be perceived isolated from the stress in their children with ASD. We encourage future research to investigate whether these correlations are generalizable to the whole ASD population.

Prenatal predictors of childhood anxiety disorders: An exploratory study of the role of attachment organization / Megan GALBALLY in Development and Psychopathology, 35-3 (August 2023)

LEWIS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1296-1307 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : attachment  childhood anxiety disorders  cortisol  depression  pregnancy Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Childhood anxiety disorders (CAD) are a common childhood mental disorder and understanding early developmental pathways is key to prevention and early intervention. What is not understood is whether early life stress predictors of CAD might be both mediated by infant cortisol reactivity and moderated by infant attachment status. To address this question, this exploratory study draws on 190 women recruited in early pregnancy and followed together with their children until 4 years of age. Early life stress is operationalized as maternal depression measured using the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Parenting Stress Index, and antenatal maternal hair cortisol concentrations. Infant cortisol reactivity was measured at 12 months together with the Strange Situation Procedure and CAD assessed at 4 years of age using the Preschool Age Psychiatric Assessment. There was no direct association between attachment classification and CAD. Furthermore, infant cortisol reactivity neither mediated nor attachment moderated the association of early life stress predictors and CAD. However, only for infants with organized attachment classifications, higher maternal antenatal depression, and hair cortisol were associated with a higher risk of CAD.
