Measures covered a range of domains including relevant demographic and family background, use of coercive parenting practices, intensity of child behavioural difficulties and questions relating to parent and family functioning such as parental self-efficacy, adjustment difficulties and quality of family relationships. Results: Parents of older children, those who were younger at the birth of their child, and parents who were co-parenting or working reported more use of coercive parenting practices. Greater intensity of child difficulties, poorer parental self-efficacy and parent–child relationships, and more parental adjustment difficulties were also significantly associated with more use of coercive parenting. Examination of the relative contribution of variables revealed parent–child relationship was a key contributing factor, followed by intensity of child behaviour problems, parent adjustment and parent confidence. Conclusions: These findings highlight a range of factors that should be targeted and modified through upstream prevention programmes and further inform our understanding of how coercive practices may be influenced through targeted parenting interventions.]]> Tue 21 Mar 2023 16:51:36 AEDT ]]> 'At the end of the day, it is more important that he stays happy': an interpretative phenomenological analysis of people who have a sibling with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33796 'They are the priority' overarched two subordinate themes that emerged from participants' descriptions of the struggle with acceptance and finding positive meaning. Participants oscillated between conflicting feelings about their sibling with 22q11.2DS always taking centre stage. For example, they felt anger, guilt and resentment; yet, they also embraced patience, empathy and gratitude. Conclusions: This phenomenological study provides a foundation for future research relating to 22q11.2DS and fostering family wellbeing, particularly around acceptance and psychological growth. The siblings in this study actively withdrew from their family to allow prioritisation of their affected sibling. However, this does not mean that their needs should be overlooked. There are easily accessible resources to support siblings of individuals with disabilities, and it is important for health professionals and parents to consider these options.]]> Tue 15 Jan 2019 15:31:49 AEDT ]]> Engagement in retirement: an evaluation of the effect of Active Mentoring on engagement of older adults with intellectual disability in mainstream community groups https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16041 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:22:56 AEDT ]]> Social cognition dysfunction in adolescents with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (velo-cardio-facial syndrome): relationship with executive functioning and social competence/functioning https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27451 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:32:46 AEDT ]]> Depression and anxiety symptoms during the transition to early adulthood for people with intellectual disabilities https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45536 Mon 31 Oct 2022 15:33:57 AEDT ]]> Differential outcome subgroups in children with autism spectrum disorder attending early intervention https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42612 Fri 26 Aug 2022 15:05:18 AEST ]]> The effectiveness of cognitive behavioural therapy for individuals with an intellectual disability and anxiety: a systematic review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53149 Fri 17 Nov 2023 12:15:40 AEDT ]]>
