Abstract
Despite the diversity of results from scientific research on family resilience in households with disabled children, systematic mapping of these findings is still limited. Therefore, this article aims to thoroughly map the existing literature on this subject, elucidating previous research dynamics and laying the groundwork for future studies. Using a scoping review approach, we sourced literature from Google Scholar, focusing on publications from the past decade (2013-2023). We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) guidelines for literature selection, culminating in the review of 22 studies. The analysis focuses on three main themes: social support for families with disabled children, strategies and mechanisms for building resilience within these families, and various aspects of resilience in these contexts. Critical stakeholders in fostering family resilience include parents, partners, and family members serving as caregivers. The implications of these findings and opportunities for future research are discussed further.
