Previous research has suggested that the number of intellectually disabled people with children is increasing. Children of parents with intellectual disabilities may be at increased risk of neglectful care which could lead to health, developmental and behavioural problems, or increased risk of intellectual disability. This document describes the protocol of a research review to assess the effectiveness of parent training interventions for mothers and fathers with intellectual disabilities designed to support parenting, parent-child relations, safe parenting or family environments or to develop parenting skills. The studies to be included will be randomised controlled trials and quasi randomised studies. Studies will be included which compare parent training with other interventions, with usual care or with a control group. This document provides information on: the criteria for considering studies for the review; search methods for identification of studies; and data collection and analysis.

Parents of children with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities experience more stress in comparison to parents of normally developing children. Chronic stress could negatively influence parents' health while also impacting their ability to meet their child's needs. Despite this, there is a subset of parents who remain resilient in the face of significant stress in their lives. Knowledge of the factors that promote parental resilience could positively impact the services these families receive. The authors conducted a systematic review of research article databases and found support for coping style, optimism, and social support as resilience factors for parents of children with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. Awareness of variables that promote resilience for parents of children with intellectual and/or development disabilities is likely to inform clinical practice through offering new avenues for clinical focus in all phases of family-centered care.
