Factors associated with resilience among parents of children with autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review.
Synthesis in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience ongoing caregiving demands and challenges that may contribute to their general well-being. Research has shown that resilience enables parents to adapt to these challenges; however, existing evidence on associated factors toward resilience among these parents remains fragmented. This systematic review aimed to identify factors associated with resilience among parents of children with ASD. We conducted a PRISMA 2020-guided systematic review on studies published between January 2019 and May 2025 using Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed by applying predefined search terms and Boolean operators. Studies examining factors associated with resilience among parents of children with ASD aged under 18 years were included in this review. We also used the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool 2018 to assess the quality of these studies. Findings were synthesised narratively using thematic analysis. From the 13 selected studies, five themes were identified as determinants of resilience among parents, i.e., sociodemographic and economic factors; child-related characteristics; parenting well-being and distress; psychological factors and coping styles; and social support and family relationships. Most included studies were cross-sectional and utilised different measurement tools, which may limit causal inference and comparability. As a conclusion, parental resilience was found to be influenced by psychological, social, and contextual factors. Strengthening coping resources and social support may enhance parental adaptation and family well-being. Along these lines, multi-level and culturally sensitive interventions are thus needed to inform strategies to foster resilience among parents of children with ASD. The review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD420251034348). The author(s) received no specific funding for this work.
