Data was collected by survey method from 47 mothers of autistic children in Lahore and Faisalabad. Hypotheses were tested on four models of four dependant variables using hierarchical regression analysis. Results depicted that parental self-efficacy was a significant predictor of all four dependant variables, social support was a significant predictor of life satisfaction and perceived stress, while optimism only significantly predicted variance in life satisfaction. The study was first of its type to be done with a sample in Pakistani context and has important implications for clinical psychologist. They can plan interventions to enhance subjective wellbeing and reduce stress directly or indirectly by focusing on antecedents tested in the study. © 2019, Indian Journal of Public Health Research and Development.

Method: Papers were identified through five electronic databases based on 15 keywords and were included if they met the following criteria: published in English, described the implementation of parent-report instruments, and included children with neurological impairments (either in the report or a related study population). Results: In total, 1220 relevant abstracts were screened and 22 full-text articles were evaluated. The following six parent-report instruments met the inclusion criteria: (1) Screening Tool of Feeding Problems applied to children, (2) Paediatric Eating Assessment Tool, (3) Paediatric Assessment Scale for Severe Feeding Problems, (4) Montreal Children's Hospital Feeding Scale, (5) Children's Eating Behaviour Inventory, and (6) Behavioural Paediatric Feeding Assessment Scale (BPFAS). Based on comprehensive psychometric testing and consistently good results, the BPFAS was considered the most valid and reliable instrument. The BPFAS also showed good clinical applicability because it was readily available, required a short administration time, and used a simple scoring system. Interpretation: We reviewed the available parent-report instruments for assessing feeding difficulties in children with neurological impairments. The BPFAS had the best psychometric properties and clinical applicability. What this paper adds: Six parent-report instruments were suitable for assessing feeding in children with neurological impairments. The Behavioural Paediatric Feeding Assessment Scale (BPFAS) has the strongest psychometric properties. The BPFAS also has good clinical applicability. © 2018 Mac Keith Press}, note = {cited By 1}, keywords = {Assessment of Humans, Autism, Behavioural Paediatric Feeding Assessment Scale, Caloric Intake, Child Behaviour, Child Parent Relation, Childhood Disease, Children, Children's Eating Behaviour Inventory, Complication, Construct Validity, Content Validity, Criterion Related Validity, Cystic Fibrosis, Eating Disorder, Enalapril Maleate, Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorder, Esophagus Atresia, Feeding, Feeding and Eating Disorders, Feeding Behavior, Feeding Difficulty, Food Intake, Human, Nervous System Diseases, Neurologic Disease, Nutritional Assessment, Parents, Pediatric Assessment Scale for Severe Feeding Problem, Pediatric Eating Assessment Tool, Predictive Value, Preschool, Preschool Child, Priority Journal, Procedures, Psychology, Psychometrics, Psychometry, Quality of Life, Receiver Operating Characteristic, Review, Scoring System, Self Disclosure, Sensitivity and Specificity, Syndrome CHARGE, Systematic Review, Test Retest Reliability}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } Aim: This study aimed to review the psychometric properties and clinical application of parent-report instruments that assess feeding difficulties in children with neurological impairments.
