Although not many older Korean parents who take care of children with intellectual disabilities have been reported depression due to care-giving related stresses, little is known about how they could be protected from this. This study examines whether satisfaction with family relationships moderate the relationships between time demands, caregiving stress, and depression of older parents who take care of children with intellectual disabilities. The analyses were conducted based on data from the Korean National Survey on Individuals with Developmental Disabilities and their Families of 2011, and only a total of 276 parents, aged over 60 were examined. Multiple regression analysis shows that older parents with higher level of satisfaction with family relationships were less likely to be influenced by time demands of care-giving. This indicates that satisfaction with family relationships could buffer the relationships between time demands of care-giving, and depression. This finding suggests that satisfaction with family relationships is a protective factor, buffering the negative effects of time demands of care-giving and depression. This supports 'socio-emotional selectivity theory' which family relationships are important to older people. Therefore, it is highly recommended to develop practical intervention that can improve the level of satisfaction of family relationship of the older parents, and to make policy and institutional supplementation.

This study investigated the relationship between social support and caregiving self-efficacy among 530 mothers of persons with intellectual disabilities in their childhood(age 3-12), adolescence(age 13-18), and adulthood(age 19-35), exploring the moderating effect of the life span affiliation of the children with disabilities. The analysis revealed that greater perception of social support predicted higher level of caregiving self-efficacy for all the mothers. However, the moderating effect was detected indicating that there were differences in the effects of social support on caregiving self-efficacy across groups. Although social support was found to have some positive effects on caregiving self-efficacy for each group of mothers of both adolescents and adults, no effects for a group of mothers of children. These findings suggested that greater emphasis be placed on the expanded provision of social support for families of persons with intellectual disabilities in their developmental stages following the childhood.
