Abstract

This study investigated the relationships among stress, intrapersonal resiliency factors (self-esteem, locus of control, and optimism) and quality of life [QOL] (physical health and mental health) among caregivers of children with high functioning autism spectrum disorders (HFASDs). Participants consisted of 113 caregivers of children with HFASDs (males=38.1%, females=61.9%; age range=27-62; 93.6% Caucasians) and 47 caregivers of typically developing children (males=29.8%; females=70.2%; age range=30-56; 93.3% Caucasians). They completed a set of self-rating surveys on perceived locus of control, selfesteem, optimism, and QOL. Within-group inferential statistical analyses were applied. For the HFASD group analyses, two simultaneous regression analyses were used to study the independent effects of the three intrapersonal variables on the physical health and mental health QOL of the caregivers. Intrapersonal factors predicted self-reported mental health QOL but not physical health QOL in caregivers of children with HFASDs.

高功能自闭症谱系障碍(HFASDs)儿童照护者的压力、恢复力因素和生活质量
本研究探讨了高功能自闭症谱系障碍(HFASDs)儿童照护者的压力、个人内弹性因子(自尊、控制点和乐观)与生活质量(身心健康)之间的关系。参与者包括113名hfasd儿童的照顾者(男性=38.1%,女性=61.9%;年龄范围= 27 - 62;93.6%白人)和47名典型发育儿童的照顾者(男性=29.8%;女性= 70.2%;年龄范围= 30-56;93.3%的白种人)。他们完成了一系列关于感知控制点、自尊、乐观和生活质量的自评调查。采用组内推断统计分析。HFASD组分析采用两项同步回归分析,研究三个人格内变量对照顾者身心健康生活质量的独立影响。个人因素对高fasd儿童照顾者自我报告的心理健康生活质量有预测作用,但对身体健康生活质量无预测作用。
