Résumé

Résumé Les parents d'enfants autistes modifient souvent leur participation aux activités de loisirs, sociales et professionnelles afin de répondre aux besoins de prise en charge de leur enfant. Cependant, peu d'études ont examiné l'incidence de cela sur la qualité de vie (QdV) des aidants. L'objectif de la présente étude était d'examiner le rôle de la participation à diverses activités sur la QdV des aidants principaux et secondaires d'enfants autistes d'âge scolaire. Quatre-vingt-huit aidants principaux (93 % de mères) et 63 aidants secondaires (91 % de pères) d'enfants autistes (âgés de 7 à 12 ans) ont participé à cette étude transversale, la pression temporelle, la participation, le soutien social, le stress parental et la QdV étant mesurés au moyen d'un questionnaire en ligne. Par rapport aux aidants secondaires, les aidants principaux ont déclaré moins d'heures d'emploi, une pression temporelle accrue, une moindre participation aux activités souhaitées et une responsabilité perçue plus élevée concernant les tâches domestiques et l'éducation des enfants. Des niveaux similaires de fréquence des loisirs, de stress parental et de QdV ont été observés chez les deux types d'aidants. Une régression hiérarchique a révélé que la participation des aidants était importante pour la QdV chez les aidants principaux comme chez les aidants secondaires. Cependant, lorsque des mesures du bien-être des aidants ont été ajoutées au modèle, la contribution propre de la participation à la QdV a été réduite, en particulier chez les aidants secondaires. Dans l'ensemble, les résultats montrent que, malgré les différences dans les rôles et responsabilités des aidants, la participation à des activités significatives était importante pour la QdV de tous les aidants.

Abstract Parents of Autistic children often modify their participation in leisure, social, and employment activities to meet the caregiving needs of their child. However, few studies have examined the impact this has on caregiver quality of life (QoL). The aim in the current study was to examine the role of participation in a range of activities on QoL amongst primary and secondary caregivers of school‐aged Autistic children. Eighty‐eight primary (93% mothers) and 63 secondary (91% fathers) caregivers of Autistic children (aged 7‐ to 12‐years) participated in this cross‐sectional study, with time pressure, participation, social support, parenting stress, and QoL measured via an online questionnaire. Compared to secondary caregivers, primary caregivers reported fewer employment hours, increased time pressure, less participation in desired activities, and higher perceived responsibility of domestic and child‐rearing tasks. Similar levels of leisure frequency, parenting stress, and QoL were identified by both caregivers. Hierarchical regression revealed caregiver participation as important for QoL in both primary and secondary caregivers. However, when measures of caregiver well‐being were added to the model, the unique contribution of participation to QoL was reduced, particularly for secondary caregivers. Overall, the findings demonstrate that despite differences in caregiver roles and responsibilities, participation in meaningful activities was important for QoL in all caregivers.
