Leisure Activities Profile of Indian Mothers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder- A Qualitative Analysis

Abstract

Purpose: This study explores the leisure preferences of mothers with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), focusing specifically on their inclination toward entertainment activities, resting, and relaxation. Design/Methodology/Approach: A cross-sectional design using an interpretive framework and an inductive approach, the researchers aimed to explore leisure time activities among a sample of 140 mothers of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in India. Finding/Result: Findings reveal that the preference for entertainment activities, rest, and relaxation among these mothers serves multiple functions, including stress relief, emotional coping, and maintaining personal well-being. The 3 categories of Leisure activities (LA) are Entertainment activities, Rest, and relaxation. Leisure activities offer a break from the demands and challenges of caregiving, allowing mothers to recharge mentally, emotionally, and physically to maintain resilience and cope with the ongoing stressors. Originality/Value: The study underscores the importance of understanding how leisure activities are chosen and valued by mothers of children with ASD, consistently prioritizing those that offer relaxation and entertainment, reflecting their coping mechanisms and efforts to maintain personal well-being amidst caregiving responsibilities. Paper Type: Case study-based analysis
