Abstract

The purpose of this integrative review is to synthesize the literature examining the relationship between parenting stress and social support in Hispanic parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A database search of studies that evaluated parenting stress and social support in this population was conducted. Fourteen studies met inclusion criteria. Despite high stress levels, both informal and formal social supports improved parenting stress among Hispanic families. Few studies evaluated culturally sensitive social support interventions. With the increasing prevalence of ASD, the development of culturally sensitive social support interventions is necessary to promote the well-being of Hispanic families.
