Abstract:
Perceived stress refers to an individual’s subjective evaluation of stress experienced in response to life’s challenges. Mothers of children with intellectual disabilities (ID) face a unique caregiving context marked by emotional, financial, and social stressors, often leading to heightened levels of perceived stress. Intellectual disability, characterized by significant limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviour, necessitates lifelong support, further amplifying the caregiver’s burden. This review synthesizes existing literature on perceived stress in this demographic, examining stressors, coping mechanisms, and the psychological toll of caregiving. Findings reveal key contributors to stress, such as economic disadvantage, social isolation, and emotional strain, while highlighting adaptive coping strategies like acceptance, social support, and religious coping. This paper concludes with recommendations for interventions to support maternal well-being and alleviate caregiving stress.
