自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童的父母经历了与孩子症状和共病行为问题相关的高水平压力。适应性父母应对儿童相关的压力，提出了服务的缓冲功能，但很少有研究探讨应对实际上是否缓和儿童因素和父母的结果之间的关联，在这一人群。少数这样做的研究都将父母的幸福感作为主要结果，而没有考虑与儿童相关的压力源可能影响育儿的程度，并随着时间的推移导致适应不良的亲子交易过程。本研究测试了适应性父母应对是否与63个ASD儿童家庭中较高水平的儿童ASD症状和共病外部化问题以及父母对儿童负面情绪的不良反应之间的关联减少有关。父母报告了他们孩子的外化问题，他们自己的应对行为，以及他们对孩子负面情绪的反应，并通过直接测试测量了儿童ASD症状。适应性应对，主要是积极的规划，调节儿童的行为问题和支持性的父母反应之间的关联，这样的父母与更多的外化问题的儿童报告较少的支持性反应，但只有当适应性应对低。儿童ASD症状与父母的反应没有显着相关性，应对没有缓和这些协会。这项横断面研究是第一个确定父母应对作为一个潜在的保护因素，在家庭中的自闭症儿童和共病的行为问题的养育行为。未来的纵向研究的影响进行了讨论。
Parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience high levels of stress related to their children’s symptoms and comorbid behavior problems. Adaptive parental coping in response to child-related stressors is proposed to serve a buffering function, and yet little research has examined whether coping actually moderates associations between child factors and parent outcomes in this population. The few studies to do so have focused on parent wellbeing as the primary outcome and have not considered the degree to which child-related stressors may affect parenting and contribute to maladaptive transactional parent-child processes over time. The current study tested whether adaptive parental coping was associated with reduced associations between higher levels of child ASD symptoms and comorbid externalizing problems and poorer quality parent reactions to child negative emotions in 63 families of children with ASD. Parents reported on their children’s externalizing problems, their own coping behavior, and their reactions to their children’s negative emotions, and child ASD symptoms were measured through direct testing. Adaptive coping—primarily active planning—moderated the association between children’s behavior problems and supportive parent reactions such that parents of children with more externalizing problems reported less supportive reactions, but only when adaptive coping was low. Child ASD symptoms did not significantly relate to parent reactions, and coping did not moderate these associations. This cross-sectional study is the first to identify parental coping as a potential protective factor for parenting behavior in families of children with ASD and comorbid behavior problems. Implications for future longitudinal research are discussed.
