The Burden of Care A Systematic Review of Parental Stress in Families of Children with Intellectual Disabilities

This article is based on a review that looked at the emotional, financial, and social aspects of parental stress and how they interact with one other and with parents well being as a whole. Caregivers and families face several challenges in raising a kid who has an intellectual handicap. Consequently, a study of parental stress in relation to intellectually disabled children is urgently needed. A significant percentage of the population lives with an intellectual disability. It is critical to understand the stress that these childrens parents endure since it may significantly affect their and their childrens health. The studys findings highlight the major effect that stressed parents have on their families ability to operate. Consequently, there is a focus on parents experiences as a whole, but a dearth of knowledge on the particular difficulties encountered by parents whose children have certain medical needs or who fall somewhere on the spectrum of intellectual impairment. Parents experience stress and difficulties in the near term, but the long term effects on their mental and physical health and quality of life are less extensively studied. So yet, no studies have examined the effects on siblings of children who have intellectual disability. The specific difficulties and stresses experienced by siblings were underreported.
