| Annotation | The study examined the extent to which 160 Israeli mothers who care for an adult child with learning disabilities differ in respect of undesired daily life events, instrumental functioning, social support and well-being from a comparably matched group of age peers. Findings indicated that caregivers for adult children with learning disabilities reported more undesired daily life events in comparison to the matched group. However, no differences were found in respect to their instrumental functioning, social support and well-being. A detailed analysis showed significant variations in measures of undesired daily life events and social support. (KJ/RH). |
