The Association between Parenting Stress, Positive Reappraisal Coping, and Quality of Life in Parents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Children: A Systematic Review
Parents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children generally suffer from poor coping and an impaired quality of life (QoL). This systematic review investigates parenting stress, positive reappraisal coping, and QoL in parents with ASD children. A literature search was carried out for publications written in English on the selected investigation topics using five databases, namely, Scopus, PubMed, Wiley, ScienceDirect Online, and EBSCO. Only studies investigating or measuring parenting stress, positive reappraisal coping, and QoL in ASD were included. Our results indicate that parents with ASD children have high stress levels. This is associated with the ineffective use of coping strategies and a low QoL. Adaptive coping strategies are related to a higher QoL, whereas maladaptive coping techniques are related to a worse QoL. Positive reappraisal coping is negatively correlated to meaningfulness, and it is used by parents to change their daily routines in order to motivate themselves towards new and evolving goals in life. Finally, we found a significant negative correlation between parenting stress, positive reappraisal coping, and the QoL of parents with ASD children. Positive reappraisal coping as a strategy helps parents adapt to stress and was found to be a potential mediatory function between parental stress and Qo
The Clinical Oral Health Status Studies of Individuals with Intellectual Disability and Autism Spectrum Disorder in Indonesia: Mixed-method Research
[[abstract]]Both individuals with intellectual disability and Autism disorder have cognitive defects.The lack of normal cognitive function makes them unable to brush their teeth properly.Therefore, they have poor oral hygiene such as caries, periodontal disease and as a consequenceof high dental treatment needs.We conducted three research topics in the dissertation project. The first was carried out asystematic review and meta-analysis of the worldwide literature regarding the differences in oralhealth status between children with intellectual disability and healthy children. The second wasexamined the oral health status, dental treatment needs and tooth brushing behavior amongchildren with intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders. The third was explored theinfluencing factors of tooth brushing behavior by qualitative research methods, and therecommended strategies to improve oral health status among individuals with intellectualdisability and autism spectrum disorders.The systematic review and meta-analysis were performed according to PRISMA rule andmeta-analysis using RevMan software. The clinical oral health status investigated in 65 subjectswith intellectual disability who live in the institution of West Sumatra, and 114 people withautism spectrum disorders who attend community-based school. The clinical oral examinationrecorded by Decay Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT), Oral Hygiene Index Simplified (OHIS),the Community Periodontal Index and Treatment Needs (CPITN), and Angleās MalocclusionClassification according to 2013 WHO standard. We interviewed the caregivers/ parents andinvestigated the question behind the oral health status by qualitative research method andverified the recommendable strategies for improving oral health status among them.Individual with special needs care had higher levels of caries index, dental plaque, worsegingival status, and malocclusion. These findings were supported by qualitative analysis. The meta-analysis suggested that children with special needs care and ASD subgroup had fewerdecayed and filled permanent teeth, but children with ID subgroup had higher decayed and filledpermanent teeth (p<0.0001).The clinical oral assessments showed the majority of the IID subjects have goodtoothbrushing behavior (poor quality brushing skill), high dental treatment needs, poor oralhygiene, most malocclusion were class II Angleās classification, several participants hadbleeding on probing (BOP), calculus and high caries rates with mean DMFT values were 5.17 Ā±3.31. Multivariate analysis showed caries status among IID subjects were 91.3% influenced bythe direct effect of oral health conditions, the indirect effect of personal characteristics andtoothbrushing.The clinical oral investigation indicated the majority of ASD groups were goodtoothbrushing behavior (brushing not properly), high dental treatment needs, worse oralhygiene, most individuals with ASD had normal occlusion, lower periodontal conditions withcalculus and periodontal pocket 4-5mm and DMFT index mean was 4.08 Ā± 2.99.
