“…Far fewer studies (eight in total) used quasi‐experimental pre‐post designs or longitudinal designs. Of these, six studies either employed no comparison group or compared users of different forms of short breaks (Botuck & Winsberg 1991, Sherman 1995, Cowen & Reed 2002, Mullins et al 2002, Aniol et al 2004, Forde et al 2004). One study used a control group which received no formal short break service (Bruns & Burchard 2000).…”

“…Psychological distress was lower for both groups at time two and remained lower at time three. A further longitudinal study collected information at admission, discharge and 2-months post-discharge for those using short breaks or short term hospitalization (Aniol et al 2004). It is noted that decreases in parenting stress occurred for both groups between admission and discharge but these were not maintained at follow-up.…”

“…Studies which attempt to measure quantitatively the outcomes of short breaks in terms of family functioning have reported inconsistent findings (Halpern 1985, Bruns & Burchard 2000, Aniol et al 2004). This may be partly due to methodological problems.…”

What is known about this topic dSuccessive governments have been committed to providing short breaks for families with a disabled child. The benefits of short breaks for families include: reduction in carer stress; new experiences for disabled children; and carers having time with their other children. What this paper adds dA comprehensive international review of 60 articles or reports examining the impact of short breaks on families with a disabled child. Further research could address the experiences of family members beyond mothers, and examine the long-term impact of short breaks within the contexts of other family support services. AbstractThere are widespread assumptions about the potential impacts of short breaks on family carers and disabled children. This review aims to evaluate the existing international research evidence concerning the impacts of short breaks on families with a disabled child. Electronic literature searches were conducted using ASSIA, PsycInfo, CINAHL, and Web of Science, and requests for information were sent to selected email lists. Of 60 articles or reports identified for inclusion in the review, the vast majority of studies were cross-sectional, with only eight studies using quasi-experimental pre-post designs or longitudinal designs. Nonetheless, the consistency with which some findings have been reported suggests that short breaks appear to have the potential to positively impact on not only the well-being of carers, but also the children receiving short breaks and their families as a whole. Additional research is warranted in a number of areas. First, research needs to consider the impact of short breaks on fathers. Second, there is a need to consider in more depth how short breaks can impact on the siblings of disabled children. Third, research could consider how best short breaks can be combined with other interventions to maximise the impact for disabled children and their families. Fourth, research needs to look at the longer term impact of short breaks on outcomes for disabled children and their families. What is needed is evidence on what type of short breaks are best for children and families with particular characteristics at particular times during the course of the child's maturation towards adulthood.

“…They added that parenting stress directly affected maternal depression and parent-child interaction. Parenting stress has been associated with both the maltreatment of children with disabilities and increased potential to abuse children with disabilities (Anoil, Mullins, Page, Boyd, & Chaney, 2004;Rodriguez & Murphy, 1997). Murray, Fiori-Cowley, Hooper, and Cooper (1996), Kiernan and Huerta (2008), Zarit, Femia, Gatz, and Johansson (1999), and Choi, Stafford, Meininger, Roberts, and Smith (2002) found that parental depression persuades parents to be less sensitive toward their children and use more harsh discipline with their children.…”

The purpose of this study is to identify the stresses and coping strategies of five mothers in caring for their chronically ill and disabled children. These mothers were receiving services from a nonprofit hospital in Malaysia. Through an in-depth case study design, the findings indicated that emotional stress caused high levels of depression, which decreased life satisfaction that led to poorer physical health. Issues explored included employment, noncooperation of family members, as well as factors related to the mother's individual abilities and how these factors might affect maternal caregiving. Recommendations for future research include identifying probable psychosocial stresses and other associated factors while emphasizing the importance of community-based programs that minimize these stresses.

“…More specifically, parenting stress has been associated with both the maltreatment of children with disabilities and the increased potential to abuse children with disabilities (Anoil, Mullins, Page, Boyd, & Chaney, 2004;Rodriguez & Murphy, 1997) and with fewer positive father-child interactions in fathers of both healthy and chronically ill 12-month-olds (Drake & Goldberg, 1994). Moreover, parenting stress has been associated with particular parenting practices.…”

The purpose of this study was to test a model that delineated the interrelationships among parenting stress, perceived mastery (defined as the belief that one's life chances are under one's own control), maternal depression, and parent-child interaction. A secondary data analysis of the Fragile Family and Child Well-Being Study was conducted, using a sample of 2,650 mothers. Results suggest that parenting stress undermines one's sense of perceived mastery which, in turn, resulted in depression. Moreover, the results also indicated that parenting stress directly affected maternal depression and parent-child interaction. There was no support for the hypothesis that parenting stress undermines one's sense of perceived mastery which, in turn, resulted in depression, which affected one's parent-child interaction. Implications of these findings for professionals working with mothers of young children are discussed. Future research should test this model using other forms of parenting behavior.It has been 27 years since Belsky (1984) published his seminal work on the ecological model of the determinants of parenting behavior. Belsky identified three domains of determinants of parenting behavior. These domains are parent characteristics (i.e., psychological resources and developmental histories), characteristics of the child, and contextual sources of stress and social support. For Belsky, these domains have both a direct and indirect effect on parenting behavior. Belsky speculates that the indirect effect of sources of support and stress on parenting behavior will be through the psychological resources of the parent. Yet, most studies that have exam-
