ABSTRACT

Parental caregivers can expect to support their children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) across the lifespan. Providing ongoing support for adult children with ASD who have difficulty performing activities of daily living (ADLs) independently can increase caregiver burden. This may be particularly challenging for compound caregivers (caring for at least one adult child with ASD and another care recipient). The present study investigated differences in relationships between caregiver burden and basic ADLs (BADLs) and instrumental ADLs (IADLs) between compound and noncompound caregivers. Using a nonexperimental correlational research design, 320 parental caregivers of adults with ASD completed a web-based survey. The quantitative analysis compared compound and noncompound caregivers on relationships between caregiver burden and ability to perform ADLs independently. Differences for caregiver burden, BADLs, and IADLs between compound and noncompound caregivers were statistically significant. However, comparison of correlations of caregiver burden and ADLs between the two groups was not significant. These findings provided support that caregiver burden was negatively impacted by the lack of independence in functional ability of their care recipients with ASD for both groups. Social workers and other professionals should offer relevant interventions, supports, and services that benefit compound and noncompound caregivers and their adult children with ASD.

复合和非复合照顾者照顾者负担与日常生活基本和工具性活动的关系

摘要

父母照料者可以期望在整个生命周期中为患有自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 的孩子提供支持。为难以独立进行日常生活活动 (ADL) 的 ASD 成年儿童提供持续支持会增加看护人的负担。这对于复合照顾者(照顾至少一个患有 ASD 的成年儿童和另一个照顾接受者)来说可能特别具有挑战性。本研究调查了复合照顾者和非复合照顾者之间照顾者负担与基本 ADL (BADL) 和工具性 ADL (IADL) 之间关系的差异。使用非实验性相关研究设计,320 名 ASD 成人的父母照顾者完成了一项基于网络的调查。定量分析比较了复合和非复合护理人员的护理人员负担与独立执行 ADL 能力之间的关系。复合护理人员和非复合护理人员之间护理人员负担、BADL 和 IADL 的差异具有统计学意义。然而,两组之间照顾者负担和ADLs的相关性比较不显着。这些发现提供了支持,即两组患有 ASD 的照料者的功能能力缺乏独立性对照料者的负担产生了负面影响。社会工作者和其他专业人员应提供相关的干预、支持和服务,使复合和非复合照料者及其患有 ASD 的成年子女受益。复合照料者和非复合照料者之间的 IADL 具有统计学意义。然而,两组之间照顾者负担和ADLs的相关性比较不显着。这些发现提供了支持,即两组患有 ASD 的照料者的功能能力缺乏独立性对照料者的负担产生了负面影响。社会工作者和其他专业人员应提供相关的干预、支持和服务,使复合和非复合照料者及其患有 ASD 的成年子女受益。复合照料者和非复合照料者之间的 IADL 具有统计学意义。然而,两组之间照顾者负担和ADLs的相关性比较不显着。这些发现提供了支持,即两组患有 ASD 的照料者的功能能力缺乏独立性对照料者的负担产生了负面影响。社会工作者和其他专业人员应提供相关的干预、支持和服务,使复合和非复合照料者及其患有 ASD 的成年子女受益。这些发现提供了支持,即两组患有 ASD 的照料者的功能能力缺乏独立性对照料者的负担产生了负面影响。社会工作者和其他专业人员应提供相关的干预、支持和服务,使复合和非复合照料者及其患有 ASD 的成年子女受益。这些发现提供了支持,即两组患有 ASD 的照料者的功能能力缺乏独立性对照料者的负担产生了负面影响。社会工作者和其他专业人员应提供相关的干预、支持和服务,使复合和非复合照料者及其患有 ASD 的成年子女受益。
