Abstract

Purpose This study aims to examine the levels of stress and resilience in a sample of British Indian parents bringing up a child with autism. Design/methodology/approach A total of 52 British Indian parents took part in a survey that included measures of stress, resilience, support and child adaptive functioning. Results were compared to a sample of white British (n = 120) and Indian parents (n = 120). Findings The British Indian parents recorded higher levels of stress and less perceived social support than their white British counterparts. British Indian parents took longer to register concern about their child’s development and sought a diagnosis at a later age than the white British group. The delay in concern and diagnosis was similar to that found in the India group. Originality/value The research suggests that British Indian parents are disadvantaged in social support and mental well-being compared to white British parents and may face similar community pressures to parents bringing up a child in India.
患有自闭症儿童的英属印度父母的压力和恢复力:一项与英国和印度白人父母的比较研究
目的本研究旨在检测英国-印度父母抚养自闭症儿童的压力和恢复力水平。设计/方法/方法共有52名英属印度父母参加了一项调查,其中包括压力、韧性、支持和儿童适应功能的测量。结果与英国白人(n=120)和印度裔父母(n=120。英裔印度父母比英国白人父母花更长的时间来表达对孩子发育的担忧,并在更晚的年龄寻求诊断。关注和诊断的延迟与印度组的情况相似。原创性/价值研究表明,与英国白人父母相比,英属印度父母在社会支持和心理健康方面处于不利地位,可能面临与在印度抚养孩子的父母类似的社区压力。
