Abstract
The Degree of the Contribution of Parental Stress in Predicting the Perceived Need for Social Support among Mothers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Jordan
Abstract
The study aims at investigating the degree the degree of the contribution of parental stress in predicting the perceived need for social support among mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Jordan and revealing the impact of demographic variables and the predictive ability of parental stress on the perceived need for social support among them. A total of 82 mothers of children with ASD attending autism centers were selected conveniently. The researchers used both the Perry and Jones’ Parental Stress Scale (1995) and the modified version of Siklos and Kerns’ Perceived Social Support Scale (2006) after testing their validity and reliability. The results indicated that parental stress and perceived social support levels among mothers were high, and showed statistically significant differences between their arithmetic mean according to the variable of age and in favor of mothers of the age group (40) years and over. and statistically different according to age for those of (40) years and above, while there were no statistically significant differences according to social status, educational level and monthly income. The results indicated statistically significant differences in the perceived need of family-related social support means due to the marital status in favor of widowed or divorced mothers, and in the means of parents educational needs, family medical needs, social services and the child social interaction according to age of mothers in favor of the older age group. The results showed that when parental stress increases, perceived needs of social support increase among participant mothers. The study recommended that this contribution should be verified in light of the severity of disorder, the age of the child, its association with the amount of available social support, the quality and amount of therapeutic intervention in the program of the child, and the child behavioral problems.
