Psycho-social factors associated with parental stress among parents of children with autism, cerebral palsy and Down syndrome in Sri Lanka

Abstract

Determining factors associated with parental stress can assist in the development of interventions to improve the well-being of parents of children with developmental disabilities. Though studies in other countries have identified a variety of factors that have an impact on stress experienced by parents of children with cerebral palsy, autism or Down syndrome, no such studies have been done in Sri Lanka.
