摘要

This study examined how resilience mediates the relationship between social support and quality of life (QoL) among parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (CWASD) in China. A total of 257 parents were recruited using simple random sampling from a hospital. Participants completed the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC, Chinese version), and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF, Chinese Version). Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0, including descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and mediating effect analysis with the PROCESS macro. Social support was positively correlated with resilience (r = 0.60, p < 0.01) and all QoL domains, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.48 to 0.67 (all p < 0.05). Mediating effect analysis revealed that resilience partially mediated the effect of social support on QoL (β = 0.61, t = 4.55, p < 0.001; indirect effect = 0.21, 95% CI [0.06, 0.13]). This study reveals that resilience is a crucial pathway through which social support is translated into improved QoL for parents of CWASD. This finding underscores the need for a dual-focus approach in interventions, one that simultaneously strengthens external support systems and cultivates internal coping capacities.
