“…In the studies of some Hispanic parents of children with mental disorders with a low intensity of familism, a strong correlation was observed between the parent's affiliate stigmatization and experiencing parental stress. The obtained result confirms the fact that familism can act as a buffer protecting the parents of children with mental disorders (Martin et al, 2022).…”

Introduction: The aim of the study was to determine the differences in family values and parental involvement in groups of parents raising a chronically ill child and a healthy child. In addition, it was checked whether family values allow predicting parental involvement. Method: The study was conducted using the CAWI method in a group of 160 adults, of whom 64 (40%) had a chronically ill child. Research tools with good psychometric properties were used: Familism Scale, Parental Involvement Questionnaire and a questionnaire. Results: It was found that mothers and fathers raising a chronically ill child achieved a statistically significantly higher intensity of the value expressed in striving for independence and self-sufficiency than parents of healthy children. Mothers raising a chronically ill child obtained statistically significantly higher scores in terms of general, valence and behavioural parental involvement than mothers raising a healthy child. Fathers raising a chronically ill child were characterized by lower scores in terms of general parental involvement, cognitive-emotional and behavioural involvement. In the group of parents raising a healthy child, as the value emphasizing the importance of material achievements increased, the intensity of the general parental involvement variable decreased. Conclusions: The results of the study complement the existing knowledge on selected psychological conditions of chronically ill children’s parents’ functioning.

“…In valuing and attending to the positive features of parents’ routine events and interactions, the positive valence of daily parenting hassles may increase, thereby undermining Latino parents’ stress. Second, Latinos’ cultural valuation of familism (Campos & Kim, 2017; Martin et al, 2021) may contribute to greater familial support, a primary buffer of parenting stress that may further attenuate the perceived intensity of daily parenting hassles. Third, religious values within Latino cultural groups may drive the commonly held belief in “God's plan” or in the notion that having a child with a disability or developmental delay is a challenge sent directly from God, thereby tempering one's negative appraisals of parenting hassles (Skinner et al, 2001).…”

Parents of children with developmental delay (DD) report significantly higher levels of parenting stress compared to parents of children with typical development. There is a heightened need for social support among families of children with DD. Siblings play an important role in these contexts as a supportive resource and primary stress buffer. Little to no research has examined how these stress and supportive processes may differ among Latino and non-Latino parents. The current study examined the relation between sibling support and parents’ perceived daily hassles between Latino and non-Latino parents of children with DD (N = 146; 65% Latino; mean parent age = 37.39 years; mean child age = 49.63 months; SD = 7.9). Latinos reported significantly greater use of sibling support and lower perceived daily hassles compared to non-Latino counterparts. In the combined sample, greater sibling support was significantly correlated with lower daily hassles. When examined separately in Latino and non-Latino groups, this correlation only remained significant among Latinos. The interaction between ethnicity and sibling support on perceived daily hassles was approaching significance, such that Latinos who reported high levels of sibling support reported lower perceived daily hassles. Findings emphasize the universal importance of familial support systems for the well-being of parents of children with DD and point to the possible protective role of Latino cultural factors that influence the degree to which these supports are employed. Results may inform culturally sensitive adaptations to parenting interventions for Latino families that harness sibling support to target and buffer parenting stress.

“…Parents' collectivistic values and perceived discrimination has been found to predict higher parental familismo , which in turn has been found to predict higher levels of positive parenting practices (Lorenzo‐Blanco et al, 2016). For example, prior research has found possible links between familismo and lower levels of parenting stress in Latinx families with children who have a developmental delay (Martin, Marin, McIntyre, & Neece, 2021). Considering the importance of these values and the unique concerns within the immigrant Latinx community, we utilized a theoretical framework that included these values.…”

The Latinx population in the United States has been growing steadily over the last few decades, necessitating the need to better understand the impact of stress and acculturation on Latinx parents and children to provide more targeted community supports. This study examines how parenting stress, within the context of acculturation, is associated with children's internalizing and externalizing behaviours among newly immigrated Latinx families (n = 129). Correlational analyses were used to understand the relationship between acculturation, parenting stress for mothers and fathers, and children's behaviour problems. Regression analyses were used to predict children's behaviours when accounting for acculturation and parenting stress. Results indicated that parent acculturation was not associated with child problem behaviours for mothers or fathers. Maternal parenting stress was associated with child internalizing and externalizing behaviour problems, while paternal parenting stress was associated with child externalizing problems only. Implications and future directions for this research are discussed.
