Résumé
Les études montrent avec constance que les mères d'enfants ayant un trouble du spectre de l'autisme (TSA) présentent des niveaux particulièrement élevés de détresse. Cette étude vise à identifier les déterminants sociaux de la santé pouvant contribuer au développement des symptômes dépressifs de ces mères. Les analyses statistiques effectuées sur un échantillon de convenance de 112 mères de jeunes enfants ayant un TSA conduisent vers un modèle composé de 5 variables permettant conjointement d'expliquer 41 % de la symptomatologie dépressive des mères. Les implications de ces résultats sur les services offerts aux familles d'enfants ayant un TSA seront plus amplement discutées.
Abstract
Many studies show that mothers of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have a particularly high level of psychological distress. This study aims to identify social determinants of health that contribute to the development of symptoms of depression in these mothers. Statistical analyses performed on a convenience sample of 112 mothers of young children with ASD leads to a model consisting of 5 variables that together explain 41% of the symptoms of depression. The implications of these results for services offered to families of children with ASD will be further discussed.
