“…Our results confirmed for the most part the mediating role of resilience and social support found in previous studies (Alriksson-Schmidt, Wallander, & Biasini, 2007;Bromley et al, 2004;Heiman, 2002;Holland & Holahan, 2003;Norizan & Shamsuddin, 2010;Pakenham et al, 2005;Rolland & Walsh, 2006;Tak & McCubbin, 2002;Weiss, 2002) Although quality of social support is generally considered the stronger predictor of personal wellbeing (Haber et al, 2007;Kessler & McLeod, 1985), we find no mediating and few direct effects of the quality of social support on the two dimensions of QoL. This could, however, be a methodological artifact as quality of social support was only measured through a single item, potentially revealing less differential effect than other constructs.…”

“…To date, several studies have suggested that resilience and social support positively mediate the effect of a disability on personal and family adaptation (Bromley, Hare, Davison, & Emerson, 2004;Heiman, 2002;Holland & Holahan, 2003;Norizan & Shamsuddin, 2010;Pakenham, Samios, & Sofronoff, 2005;Rolland & Walsh, 2006;Tak & McCubbin, 2002;Weiss, 2002). Resilience has long since been seen as an important factor protecting against life's perils, giving individuals the strength to overcome stressors (Rutter, 1987;Walsh, 2003).…”

“…The model provides a theoretical basis for examining the effect of a stressor and pile-up of demands (factor aA) on the family adaptation (factor XX) through the Quality of Life 5 mediation of the existing and expanding family recourses (factor bB), the meaning the family assigns to their situation (factor cC), and the coping strategies employed by the family (factor BC) (Jacques, 2006;McCubbin & Patterson, 1983), whereby mediation should be understood as the process through which a predictor affects a dependent variable indirectly through at least one intervening variable or mediator (Preacher & Hayes, 2008). The double ABCX model formed the theoretical base for the present study, although we did not aim to provide a true model test.To date, several studies have suggested that resilience and social support positively mediate the effect of a disability on personal and family adaptation (Bromley, Hare, Davison, & Emerson, 2004;Heiman, 2002;Holland & Holahan, 2003;Norizan & Shamsuddin, 2010;Pakenham, Samios, & Sofronoff, 2005;Rolland & Walsh, 2006;Tak & McCubbin, 2002;Weiss, 2002).

The aim of this study was to test whether the effect of the pile-up of demands associated with a disability on quality of One of the core notions in the systemic approach is that families form an interactive and interdependent system where what happens to one family member will also affect all the other members of the system (Goldenberg & Goldenberg, 2003;Turnbull & Turnbull, 2001). The disability of a child is such an event that will affect the whole family. Compared to families with typically developing children, a child with a disability poses specific challenges. A multitude of adverse effects of a disability on the family have been found, including higher levels of stress, lower well-being, more negative feelings on parenting, less marital satisfaction, a financial and a caretaker burden (Baker, Blacher, & Olsson, 2005;Blacher & McIntyre, 2006;Hatton & Emerson, 2003;Hunfeld et al., 2001;Maes, Broekman, Dosen, & Nauts, 2003;McIntyre, Blacher, & Baker, 2002;Wilkinson et al., 2001).However, research in families with a child with a disability is inconclusive regarding the impact of the disability on the family. Other studies in families of children with a disability recognize the positive effects these children can have on their family members, including better parent-child interactions, more family cohesion and a stronger life purpose Quality of Life 4 (Flaherty & Glidden, 2000;Glidden, Bamberger, Turek, & Hill, 2010;Green, 2007; Hastings & Taunt, 2002;Kearney & Griffin, 2001;Taanila, Jarvelin, & Kokkonen, 1999). Thus some families seem to do well despite the extra stressor of the disability of their child, while others struggle and succumb.There is a large body of literature suggesting several individual and family characteristics that are positively related to the family's adaptation to a child with a disability. Social support, resilience, good family cohesion, effective coping skills and positive cognitive appraisals might all influence the potential negative impact of the disability on the family (Lavee, Hamilton, & Patterson, 1985;Saloviita, Itälinna, & Leinonen, 2003;Taanila et al., 1999;Tak & McCubbin, 2002).It has become apparent that individual and family outcomes due to the impact of a pile-up of demands associated with living with a disability are the result of multiple factors interacting with each other. Therefore a multivariate model incorporating both psychological and social variables that could intervene between the stressor and the outcome is needed. The double ABCX model of McCubbin and Patterson (1983) is one of the most influential theoretical frameworks in this field. The model provides a theoretical basis for examining the effect of a stressor and pile-up of demands (factor aA) on the family adaptation (factor XX) through the Quality of Life 5 mediation of the existing and expanding family recourses (factor bB), the meaning the family assigns to their situation (factor cC), and the coping strategies employed by the family (factor BC) (Jacques, 2006;McCubbin & Patterson, 1983), w...

“…According to this, the difficult experiences of the parents start with the diagnosis of the child and theoretically end with acceptance (Witcher, 1987). In contrast, other studies have shown that parents experience many long-term problems such as burnout (Duran & Barlas, 2014), depression (Harrison & Stuifbergen, 2002), anxiety (Coşkun & Akkaş, 2009), hopelessness (Çatalbaş, Manav, & Ocakçı, 2015) and stress (Hung, Wu, & Yeh, 2004;Norizan & Shamsuddin, 2010) both at the stage of diagnosis and long after diagnosis. In this context, some authors have suggested that very few parents reach the stage of acceptance and the process of adapting to a child with disability continues throughout life (Akdoğan, 2016;Veisson, 1999).…”

Despite ample research on the relationship between disability and poverty, the experiences of parents of disabled children are herein generally overlooked. We argue that an understanding of how poverty shapes caring for a disabled child is crucial for disability inclusive development. Therefore, this paper narratively reviews literature on carers of disabled children from various contexts published between 1995 and 2015. It uncovers a significant knowledge gap on the impact of poverty despite slowly emerging evidence on how political, cultural and socioeconomic exclusion stifles parents to enhance their families' wellbeing and possibly reap the benefits of development policies. Implications for future research are addressed. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
