Abstract

The spouses’ congruence regarding perceptions about the disease was usually analyzed in the context of intimate partner physical illness and the results showed that couple’s congruence of disease perception positively correlated with patients’ quality of life, adjustment to illness, and relationship satisfaction. In the same time, some studies consider that a strong perception on the child's illness causes psychological distress. The study aims to test whether couple’ congruence regarding child's illness perception has an influence on the quality of marital relationship, operationalized by couple satisfaction, parental stress, dyadic coping and resilience family. This research involved 106 parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) (53 of maried couples). The results show a significant effect of couple’ congruence of child's illness perceptions on marital satisfaction F (2.103) = 3.61, p = .03, parental stress F (2.103) = 17.89, p
