This study explored the experiences of Israeli parents of children with ASD during the Swords of Iron War, focusing on community resilience, psychological distress and parental self‐efficacy. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between community resilience and parental self‐efficacy, considering the potential mediating role of psychological distress (stress, anxiety and depression). A mixed‐method approach was employed, involving an online questionnaire completed by 80 parents and in‐depth interviews with six parents. Quantitative data were analysed using correlation, regression and mediation analyses, while qualitative data underwent thematic and categorical analysis. Results indicated that higher levels of community resilience were associated with lower levels of psychological distress and higher parental self‐efficacy. Psychological distress significantly mediated the relationship between community resilience and parental self‐efficacy. Qualitative findings complemented the quantitative trends, highlighting the importance of community resilience in mitigating psychological distress and enhancing parental self‐efficacy. We discussed these results within the frameworks of ecological systems theory, Bandura's self‐efficacy theory and the ABCX model, offering implications for research, practice and policy. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
