“…In current study, it is evidenced that quality marital relationship had significant impact on psychosocial life of caregivers. These findings are in line with the previous findings demonstrating satisfaction with social support and marital quality [19][20][21] Study findings also evident that caring for a stroke survivors for a very long time had negative impact on environmental quality of life aspects. Findings found agreement in a previous study conducted by Ogunlana et al [22] which reported that duration of stroke had worse impact on quality of life in caregivers.…”

“…Resilience in families of children with developmental disabilities has been widely discussed in the literature (Al-Krenawi, Graham, and Gharaibeh 2011;Bayat 2007;Grant, Ramcharan, and Flynn 2007;Levine 2009;Lloyd and Hastings 2009;Disability & Society 923 Retzleff 2007;Rolland and Walsh 2006). However, the concept of resilience still cannot be aligned 'to a single overarching theory' (Grant, Ramcharan, and Flynn 2007, 563).…”

Families with children with disabilities are at higher risk of stress, financial disadvantage and breakdown. In recent decades, research and policy have shifted focus from these problems to a strengths-based approach, using concepts such as family resilience. By definition, resilience is the ability to cope in adverse circumstances, suggesting a reliance on the individual. If this is the case, then to what extent does 'family resilience' place another burden of responsibility onto families? Whose responsibility is family resilience? This paper begins to answer this question using interviews with parents of children with developmental disabilities based in New South Wales, Australia.

“…We find that most of the significant differences relate to whether the staff member has a relative with a disability: three out of four statements suggest that staff members with a disabled relative have different views on and attitudes toward persons with disabilities. Prior research has analysed the complex and often conflicted roles of family members of persons with disabilities (for example, Al-Krenawi, Graham, and Gharaibeh 2011;Banks 2003). 'Family stress', 'social stigma' and 'caregiver depression' are expressions used in this line of research that indicate the challenges that family members of persons with disabilities may face.…”

This study uses survey data from the microfinance industry in Uganda to investigate whether there are differences among industry staff members in beliefs and views regarding persons with disabilities. For several of the questions, various staff sub-groups respond significantly differently. A recurring result is that staff members who have a relative with disabilities often express views that differ from the views of other staff members. Moreover, we find significant differences related to the age of the staff members. For instance, younger staff members are more positive and optimistic regarding the potential to reach more clients with disabilities. The employment position of the individual staff member also appears to be relevant: credit officers are relatively more likely (than other staff types) to indicate that discrimination could be a problem in the microfinance industry. Interestingly, we do not observe any differences in views and beliefs that are related to staff member gender.
