This study is aimed to explore the relationship between SoC and WHOQoL among parents of children with ASD. Method: A total of 96 parents of children with ASD were invited to participate using a purposive sampling method. Results: The results suggested that participants in the high SoC group had better QoL in the four domains than those in the low SoC group. More importantly, not all types of SoC were relevant to QoL. Comprehensibility was relevant to all the four QoL domains and manageability was relevant to physical and psychological health, while meaningfulness was not relevant to any of the QoL domains. Conclusions: NGOs may improve the QoL of these parents by providing trainings to improve their SOC, especially in comprehensibility and manageability. © 2015 by De Gruyter.}, note = {cited By 2}, keywords = {Adult, Age, Article, Autism, Children, Comprehension, Education, Employment, Environmental Factor, Female, Gender, Han Chinese, Health, Housewife, Human, Income, Indian, Major Clinical Study, Malay, Malaysia, Male, Marriage, Mental Health, Parental Attitude, Pensioner, Psychological Aspect, Quality of Life, Religion, Sampling, Sense of Coherence, Social Interactions}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } Studies have shown that most parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) face more stress and have a poorer quality of life (QoL) than other parents.
