Abstract

This study aimed to examine physical activity (PA) levels and mental health status (i.e., anxiety and depression) among parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Secondary data analysis was conducted using the 2018 National Health Interview Survey. We identified 139 parents of children with ASD and 4,470 parents of children with no disability. Their PA levels, anxiety, and depression were analyzed. Compared with parents of children with no disability, parents of children with ASD were significantly less likely to meet the PA guideline for Americans and had lower odds of vigorous PA (aOR = 0.702), strengthening PA (aOR = 0.885), and light to moderate PA (aOR = 0.994). Parents of children with ASD reported significantly higher odds of anxiety (aOR = 1.559) and depression (aOR = 1.885). This study revealed lower PA levels and higher risks of anxiety and depression in parents of children with ASD.

自闭症谱系障碍患儿父母的体育活动与心理健康。

本研究旨在检查自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童父母的身体活动（PA）水平和心理健康状况（即焦虑和抑郁）。二次数据分析使用2018年全国健康访谈调查进行。我们确定了139名ASD儿童的父母和4470名无残疾儿童的父母。分析他们的PA水平、焦虑和抑郁。与无残疾儿童的父母相比，ASD儿童的父母符合美国PA指南的可能性显著降低，并且出现剧烈PA（aOR=0.702）、强化PA（aOR=0.885）、，和轻度至中度PA（aOR=0.994）。ASD儿童的父母报告焦虑（aOR=1.595）和抑郁（aOR1.885）的几率显著较高。这项研究表明，ASD儿童父母的PA水平较低，焦虑和抑郁的风险较高。

期刊介绍： APAQ is an international, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal designed to stimulate and communicate scholarly inquiry relating to physical activity that is adapted in order to enable and enhance performance and participation in people with disability. Physical activity implies fine, gross, functional, and interpretive movement including physical education, recreation, exercise, sport, and dance. The focus of adaptation may be the activity or task that is to be performed, environment and facilities, equipment, instructional methodology, and/or rules governing the performance setting. Among the populations considered are persons with motor, intellectual, sensory, and mental or other disabilities across the life span. Disciplines from which scholarship to this aim may originate include, but are not limited to, physical education, teacher preparation, human development, motor behavior and learning, biomechanics, exercise and sport physiology, and exercise and sport psychology. Scientific inquiry may originate from quantitative or qualitative inquiry, as well as from multimethod designs.
