“…Example items include "There is a lot of anger and resentment in our family" and "In the future, our family's social life will suffer because of increased responsibilities and financial stress". The QRS-F has previously been used in research with parents of children with ASD, with good reliability obtained (Honey, Hastings & McConachie, 2005). Internal consistency (Kuder-Richardson coefficient) for the 15 item QRS-F scale in the current sample was .89 for mothers and .92 for fathers.…”

“…This tool has previously been employed for samples with ASD in assessing stress in parents (Hastings and Johnson 2001), and so allows comparison with previous studies. The total stress score from this scale has been shown to have good reliability and validity for research with parents of young children with ASD (Honey et al 2005).…”

This community-based study examined the influence of early teaching interventions on children diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorders, and the dynamics between the time intensity of the interventions and parenting stress, on child outcomes. Intellectual, educational, and adaptive behavior and social functioning were all measured. Sixty-five children were divided into four groups, based on the levels of time intensity of their intervention, and on their parents' stress levels. There were gains in intellectual, educational, and adaptive behavioral and social skills, and there was a positive relationship between the time intensity of the early teaching interventions and child outcome gains. More importantly, however, high levels of parenting stress counteracted the effectiveness of the early teaching interventions.

Background: Raising a child with intellectual disability is stressful for the parent because it requires an intensive physical engagement as well as coping with emotional reactions to the child's condition. Parents have different modes of adapting to stress and demands caused by the disorder. Method: The current descriptive research design is aimed to identify existing coping strategies of parents who have children with intellectual disabilities. This study included 60 parents with intellectual disabilities children (30 mothers and 30 fathers) that were selected by random sampling. Parent's coping strategies were assessed by Collaborative Coping Strategies in Challenging Life Events (Ghobary et al., 2003) and Questionnaire on Resources and Stress (Friedrich, short form: QRS-F) was used to examine the degree of parental stress. Result: The correlation and regression analysis was used. The most of parent were used kind of coping strategies for coping with stress. Recognition of coping strategies of the parents is important and useful for the development of therapeutic interventions aimed at facilitating family adaptation in families with a child with intellectual disabilities.
