Description
Bashaer Al-Natsheh and Asma Imam test a support program for Palestinian mothers of children with autism, in a study from 2025. Raising a child with autism can strain a mother's health and daily life. Little research had tested support programs for such mothers in Palestine.
Fifty-six mothers took part, split between the program group and a control group. The program ran for twelve weeks in group sessions and drew on mindful practice and peer support. Quality of life was scored before, just after, and six months later with a standard world health survey. The program group gained in all areas of life quality, with the largest gains in mental well-being. Most gains held at the six-month check. The authors urge policy support for such family-centered care.
