      abstract = {Parenting stress is considered a significant factor  affecting the treatment outcome of parent-mediated  interventions (PMI) – a treatment approach for improving  the severity of ASD symptoms in autistic children. In case,  defining the determinants of parenting stress is  indispensable for achieving improvement. However, few  studies have systematically taken various determinants  together for discussion. Additionally, little is known  about the difference between male and female caregivers. I  examined 235 previous studies on the topic of parenting  stress that were published between 2013-2022 and identified  22 articles for review. Among those, only 7 compared the  influence of different determinants. Within those studies,  social support was found to be consistently correlated with  the parenting stress level. The results suggested that the  severity of autism, adaptive behaviors, problem behaviors,  and social support were all correlated with fluctuation in  stress level, though the proportional relationship varied  between studies. Additionally, mothers and fathers differed  in overall stress levels, with a focus on various  determinants. This review indicates a need for control in  child age and intervention experience to horizontally  compare the effect of diverse stressors.},
