Resilience factors in parents of children in need of care.
Parents of children in need of care, such as those caring for chronically ill and disabled children, are exposed to significant stress associated with caregiving, placing them at risk for mental disorders. Resilience factors, as psychological resources, can help mitigate the negative effects of stre...

Resilience factors, as psychological resources, can help mitigate the negative effects of stress for both parents and their children, ultimately promoting resilient outcomes. However, little is known about the relationship between resilience factors and resilient outcomes in this highly stressor-exposed population. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between resilience factors and resilient outcomes in parents of children in need of care, thereby contributing to a better understanding of how these factors can influence parents' quality of life. A sample of 202 German-speaking parents of children in need of care from a non-randomized controlled trial (ID: NCT05418205) completed measures assessing resilience-related outcomes, including indicators of mental distress, well-being, perceived stress, and the ability to recover from stressors. Using k-means cluster analysis, two clusters were identified, differentiating burdened and unburdened individuals based on their responses. Logistic regression was subsequently conducted to examine the predictive role of psychological resilience factors—self-efficacy, social support, optimism, internal locus of control, and family cohesion—in distinguishing between the two groups. Results from the logistic regression analysis revealed that self-efficacy, social support, optimism, and family cohesion were significant predictors of cluster membership. These findings contribute to the understanding of the influence of resilience factors on resilient outcomes in parents of children in need of care. Highlights: Parents of children in need of care experienced a higher stressor load and mental distress as well as a significantly impaired resilience compared to the general population. In-depth analysis revealed distinct clusters of burdened and unburdened individuals based on measures of well-being, mental distress, perceived stress, and stressor recovery ability. Self-efficacy, social support and family cohesion emerged as significant predictors of cluster membership, highlighting their role in differentiating burdened and unburdened parents. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
