Quality of life of caregivers of children with autism in Qatar / Nadir KHEIR in Autism, 16-3 (May 2012)
[article]
Titre : Quality of life of caregivers of children with autism in Qatar Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Nadir KHEIR, Auteur ; Ola GHONEIM, Auteur ; Amy L. SANDRIDGE, Auteur ; Muna AL-ISMAIL, Auteur ; Sara HAYDER, Auteur ; Fadhila AL-RAWI, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.293-298 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism caregivers Qatar quality of life Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Introduction: Caring for a child diagnosed with autism could affect the quality of life of the caregiver in various different ways. No previous research has assessed the quality of lives of caregivers of children with autism in Qatar.
Methods: Caregivers of a child with autism between 3 and 17 years old were recruited from child rehabilitation clinics in Qatar. The non-autism group was represented by caregivers of a typically growing child visiting a primary health care facility for a routine medical examination. Data collected from both groups included demographic and quality of life information for caregivers.
Results: A total of 98 participants consented to take part in the study. Fifty-six of these were caregivers of a child with autism and 42 were caregivers of a typically growing child. There was no significant difference between quality of life domains between the two groups of caregivers, but caregivers of autistic children rated their health as poor and likely to get worse (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: This study provided some evidence for the impact of caring for a child with autism on the life of the caregiver. The findings should help health policy-makers in Qatar to provide better and more focused support to children with autism and their caregivers.En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1362361311433648 Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=166
