Book Synopsis Predicting Caregiver and Family Quality of Life for Caregivers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by : Kerry Ryan Thompson

This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is expressed quite differently from person to person due to the spectrum of symptoms an individual may experience. Developmentally, children who have ASD manage issues with communication and restricted or repetitive behaviors that impact their activities of daily living and/or overall functioning (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). The ongoing care and assistance for children with ASD from their caregivers is vital to help them achieve and maintain optimal quality of life. Given the pervasive needs of children with ASD, caregivers have a unique role in providing for their child, as compared to caregivers of children without disabilities. The present study explored the caregiver in a family with a child with ASD. Applying a family systems perspective, Bishop's (2005a, 2005b) Disability Centrality Model constructs (i.e. role impact, relationship satisfaction, mastery) were used to explain caregiver and family quality of life. In addition, family quality of life was measured in such a way to incorporate Bishop's idea of centrality, or the importance an individual places on certain areas of life. A three-step statistical analysis was completed in order to better measure this conceptualization. This study included 204 caregivers who met the criteria for the study (i.e., caregiver of a child with ASD under the age of 18; self-reported reading level of 6th grade or above). Hayes' regression based path-analytic framework, PROCESS v2.16 was used to determine the explained variance of caregiver and family quality of life. In addition, correlational and moderation analyses were tested. Results suggested that the caregiver's perceived quality of life is positively correlated with the caregiver's perceived family quality of life. In addition, results indicated that the proposed path analyses explained 52.3% of the variance in caregiver quality of life, 44.4% variance for the weighted family quality of life model, and between 23.1-45.2% variance in the five-individual family quality of life-satisfaction domains (i.e, family interaction, parenting, emotional well-being, physical/material well-being, disability-related support). Finally, to better understand the impact of importance on quality of life, a three-step statistical analysis found that importance was significant when used as a weighted measurement of family quality of life that took the importance and satisfaction in consideration in their relation to one another; however, importance was not significant as a moderator between the relationship of caregiver relationship satisfaction and family quality of life. The findings in this study expand the current literature on caregivers of children with ASD, caregiver quality of life, and family quality of life. In addition, this study demonstrated the viability of strengths-based models of caregiver and family quality of life using Disability Centrality Model constructs through a family systems perspective for a sample of caregivers of children with ASD. Future implications for rehabilitation research and practice are discussed.
Book Synopsis Resources and Quality of Life in Caregivers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder by : Tiana C Cypher
Download or read book Resources and Quality of Life in Caregivers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder written by Tiana C Cypher and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Participants were 23 caregivers of children between the ages of four to twenty-two years old who are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and attend the Autism Society of North Carolina (ASNC) Social Recreation program in Winterville, Wilmington, and Newport. The present study evaluated the quality of life in parents of children with autism spectrum disorder, as well as the utilization and availability of resources for their child and the family. Data was collected using an online Qualtrics survey sent out to families by email. The survey consisted of questions regarding demographics, questions from the Questionnaire for Each Treatment regarding the treatments their child with autism receives, and questions from the Family Quality of Life Scale by the Beach Center on Disability. Overall results revealed that parenting is the most satisfying domain of quality of life, and disability related support was the least satisfactory for the parents. Results suggest that families with disability need to identify and enroll their children in early intervention programs and recreation program that help with children's development. The government and school programs should also strive to offer educative sessions for parents and families with children with autism to enhance their contribution outside of school hours.

Book Synopsis Essentials of Adaptive Behavior Assessment of Neurodevelopmental Disorders by : Celine A. Saulnier
Download or read book Essentials of Adaptive Behavior Assessment of Neurodevelopmental Disorders written by Celine A. Saulnier and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical guide to adaptive behaviors across a range of neurodevelopmental disorders Adaptive behavior assessment measures independent living skills, including communication, social skills, personal care, and practical work skills. For individuals with intellectual disabilities, evaluation of these skills is a critical tool for measuring eligibility and can identify specific skills that must be learned before effective educational interventions can be implemented. Essentials of Adaptive Behavior Assessment of Neurodevelopmental Disorders describes the role of adaptive behavior in assessment and treatment, and provides clear guidance for measurement. Case samples provide real-world illustration of behaviors and assessment, and systematic comparison of various measures are presented and explained to better inform planning. Individual chapters outline specific adaptive behaviors across a range of neurodevelopmental disorders, giving clinicians, practitioners, students, and researchers a better understanding of diagnostic differentials and how to place independent skill programming in treatment and intervention. Plan intervention and treatment based on accessible measurement guidelines across a range of disorders Gain a deeper understanding of adaptive functioning specific to ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, disruptive behavior disorders, and genetic disorders Compare and contrast current measures to evaluate their strengths, weaknesses, and areas of overlap Quickly locate essential information with Rapid Reference and Caution boxes For individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, adaptive behaviors are the keys to independence; without them, these individuals will perpetually struggle with achieving optimum independence without the basic skills needed to function at home, in school, and in the community. Assessment allows these skills to be factored in to treatment and intervention planning, and can help improve the outcomes of other intervention methods. Essentials of Adaptive Behavior Assessment of Neurodevelopmental Disorders clarifies the assessment of these important behaviors, helping clinicians make more informed decisions around diagnosis, education, and treatment planning.
Book Synopsis Determinants of Quality of Life in Caregivers of Children with Autism and Autism Concerns by : Colleen M. Harker
Download or read book Determinants of Quality of Life in Caregivers of Children with Autism and Autism Concerns written by Colleen M. Harker and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the unique demands of raising a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), it is necessary to understand the impact on the quality of life (QoL) of their caregivers. Though QoL is considered an important outcome in health services research (Moons et al., 2006; Oliveira, Carvalho, & Esteves 2016), there is a lack of knowledge about QoL in caregivers of children with ASD or caregivers of children for whom there are ASD concerns, but no formal diagnosis. The objectives of the current study were to (1) Examine how having a young child with ASD or ASD concerns affects caregiver QoL, relative to children with other developmental concerns and typical development; (2) Examine profiles across QoL domains within each caregiver group to determine which QoL domains were most impacted relative to other domains; (3) Examine to what extent three levels of determinants contribute to caregiver QoL: family demographic (child age, family income, caregiver employment status, number of children in the home), psychological (parenting stress), and health care (family-centered care); and 4) (Exploratory) Examine the extent to which family centered care moderates the relation between parenting stress and QoL. The sample was drawn from a larger NIH study examining screening and referral practices for children with ASD in primary care provider (PCP) practices and early intervention (EI) agencies in Washington State. The sample was comprised of three groups: caregivers of children with ASD or ASD concerns (ASD/ASD Concerns; n = 42), caregivers of children with other developmental concerns (Other Concerns; n = 34), and caregivers of children with typical development (No Concerns; n = 112). Caregivers completed a measure of family demographics, parenting stress, family-centered care, and QoL at their time of entry in the study. Results indicated that caregivers in the ASD/ASD Concerns group reported significantly lower Psychological and Social QoL than caregivers in the Other Concerns group and the No Concerns group, and significantly lower Environmental QoL and Physical QoL than caregivers in the No Concerns group (Objective 1). For caregivers in the ASD/ASD Concerns group, Social QoL was significantly lower than Environmental and Physical QoL and Psychological QoL was significantly lower than Environmental QoL (Objective 2). Income, parenting stress, and family-centered care were significant predictors for all four QoL domains, while the number of children residing in the home was a significant predictor for Physical QoL only. There was also a significant group by stress interaction for Environmental QoL, such that there was a stronger negative relationship between parenting stress and Environmental QoL for caregivers in the ASD/ASD Concerns group compared to caregivers in the No Concerns group (Objective 3). Family-centered care did not moderate the relationship between parenting stress and QoL as predicted (Objective 4). Overall, these findings suggest that future research is needed to determine how to provide additional support to all caregivers, particularly low-income families and caregivers who are experiencing high levels of parenting stress and low levels of family-centered care.

Book Synopsis Sleep and Quality of Life Among Family Caregivers with Children who Have Autism Spectrum Disorders by : Maureen Russell
Download or read book Sleep and Quality of Life Among Family Caregivers with Children who Have Autism Spectrum Disorders written by Maureen Russell and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) holds potential for significantly impacting the primary caregiver and family, as well as the child with ASD. In particular, sleep problems occur frequently among children with ASD, and their poor sleep may negatively affect that of their caregivers. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and Family Quality of Life (FQoL) are salient indices of caregiver and family well-being. This pilot study explored associations between family caregiver sleep problems and caregiver sense of coherence (SOC) or coping on HRQoL and FQoL. Additionally, this study examined relationships between child sleep and behavior problems on caregiver sleep and well-being. Sixty-two family caregivers of children with ASD (M =7.61, range: 6-11 years old) participated in this survey study. Participants provided demographic information and completed measures of HRQoL, FQoL, caregiver sleep, SOC, parental stress, child sleep, and child behavior. Caregivers with longer sleep duration reported better mental health and better FQol. Caregivers who reported insomnia symptoms, non-restorative sleep, and insufficient sleep were more likely to report poorer mental health than caregivers who did not report these sleep disorder symptoms. A stronger caregiver SOC was associated with lower caregiver stress, better mental health, and better FQoL. Significant relationships were found between shorter caregiver sleep duration or sleep disorder symptoms (i.e., difficulty staying asleep, early morning awakening, insufficient sleep) and greater child sleep problems. Moreover, short sleep duration or insufficient sleep among caregivers was significantly associated with greater parenting stress. Notably, biological parents with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) had children with more restless sleep and higher rates of some behavior problems. There are a number of potential connections between sleep problems of children with ASD and sleep problems of their caregivers that are likely rooted in genetic, environmental, socio-economic, and behavioral factors. Interventions for sleep problems must address the context of the family and consider that sleep problems may be common to the caregiver and the child. The results of this study support findings from many prior studies and point to salient variables for future research and interventions to promote healthy caregiver sleep.

This book was released on 2023-06-07 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The range, duration, and intensity of informal caregiving across different illnesses and disabilities have increased in the 21st century due to an increase in longevity and de-institutionalization in most countries. Caregiving is demanding and hence can be stressful in terms of time, effort, and financial requirements, depending on the nature of the illness or disability, the relationships between the person in need of support and the caregiver, and the role played by available health and social care services. However, research evidence has demonstrated that it can be also rewarding, and enables a different type of bonding than was the case before caregiving became a necessity.
