摘要
This study explores occupational balance (OB) and caregiver burden among parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Malaysia. A cross-sectional survey of 89 parents from the National Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM) centres used the Zarit Burden Interview and Occupational Balance Questionnaire. Results showed significant demographic variations, with Malay parents reporting higher burden scores. However, no significant correlation was found between OB and caregiver burden. Findings emphasize the need for culturally sensitive support systems to alleviate caregiving stress. Future research should explore longitudinal and intervention-based studies to enhance parental well-being through targeted support programs and community initiatives.
