“…The results they obtained, indicate an optimal level of resilience (with the most pronounced being persistence and determination in action). This is confirmed by previous studies conducted before the COVID-19 pandemic, where parents had moderate levels of resilience, which indicates that they are resistant to adversity despite the challenges faced by raising a child with ASD [34][35][36].…”

Raising and caring for a child with ASD is a challenge for the parents’ marriage relationship. Caring for a disabled child changes the functioning of the family and requires greater involvement in care and specialist therapy. The respondents’ answers show that such parents experience higher levels of stress related to the upbringing and future of the child. However, parenting challenges need not be a negative experience if the parents support each other. The process of bringing up children in the family are related, inter alia, to the quality of their parents ‘marriage, which is influenced by the partners’ personal resources. The resilience of the partners and coping with this situation contribute to marital satisfaction. The aim of the study is to find out about the relationship between spouses’ resilience and coping styles and their assessment of marriage satisfaction. In total, 50 married couples participated in the study—50 mothers of children with ASD and 50 fathers, the partners of these mothers (N = 100). The following tools were used: the Resilience Scale (SPP-25), the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) and the Well-Matched Marriage Questionnaire (KDM-2), as well as a survey questionnaire (data on respondents). The results show that the gender of the parent of a child with ASD does not differentiate the overall assessment of the quality of marriage (the overall score on the scale indicates a low level of satisfaction with the relationship). When analyzing in detail the dimensions of individual scales of satisfaction with the relationship, one statistically significant difference was noted for the sex of the respondents in the disappointment dimension, showing that the level of disappointment in the quality of the relationship is higher in wives than in husbands. In the other dimensions of satisfaction with marriage: intimacy, personal fulfillment, similarity, there were no statistically significant differences in terms of gender of the respondents. The resilience of the spouses positively correlates with their assessment of marriage satisfaction, and in particular, openness, perseverance and determination to act increase the level of Task-oriented coping (SSZ) with difficult situations. All resilience factors negatively correlate with the emotional coping style (SSE). In both the studied groups, openness is a significant predictor of intimacy, and persistence is a predictor of self-fulfilment in a relationship. A predictor of disappointment in women is managing using substitute activities (ACZ), while in men it is the Emotion-oriented coping (SSE) style. The results indicate the need to support married couples raising a child with ASD during the pandemic.

“…Giving birth to a chronically ill child, a child with a disability or with a developmental disorder and then caring for it, is a difficult experience that brings consequences for the entire family system (Cyranka, Rutkowski, Król, Krok, 2012;Greszta, Ryś, Trębicka, Hoffer-Buczkowska, 2020;Klajmon-Lech, 2018;Pągowska, 2013). First, it is a burden for caregivers engaged in the process of diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation or therapy, which is a source of stress, and -in the long term -contributes to emergence of the burnout syndrome (Klajmon-Lech, 2018;Pągowska, 2013).…”

“…It is especially felt by women, as mothers are usually primary caregivers and experience a greater impact of the child's deficits (Gau, Chou, Chiang, Lee, Wong, Chou, Wu, 2012;Koydemir, Tosun, 2009;Rodrigue, Morgan, Geffken, 1990). While stress, depression and burnout in mothers or both parents of an ill child have been often investigated (Greszta et al, 2020;Klajmon-Lech, 2018;Kütük et al, 2021;Pągowska, 2013), little attention has been paid to the phenomenon of marital burnout, its predictors and methods of prevention. The aim of the present study is to fill in this gap by examining the relationship between marital communication and burnout in mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).…”

Raising a child with special needs poses a challenge for their parents not only as caregivers but also as spouses. The aim of the present study was to analyze the relationships between communication behaviors, both own and partners’, and the level of marital burnout in mothers with a child with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Moderating role of selected sociodemographic factors, such as duration of marriage, number of children, age of a child with disorder, professional activity of mothers, and perceived parents' contribution to caring for a child with an autism spectrum disorder was also tested. The Marital Communication Questionnaire, the Marital Burnout scale and a sociodemographic survey were used in the study. The sample was composed of 100 women, married mothers of a child with ASD. The results showed an inverse relationship between own and partner’s supportive and engaged communication, and the feeling of marital burnout in women. At the same time, there was a positive relationship between depreciation in own and partner’s communication and female burnout. These relationships were not moderated by any of the sociodemographic variables.
