Resilience and Perceived Stress among Siblings of Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities: A Correlational Study

Siblings of individuals with intellectual disabilities often face emotional difficulties. These struggles might affect their daily experience. Stress tends to build quietly, even when nothing seems wrong. This research looks into whether resilience is linked to less stress in these siblings. 150 participants took part and answered two sets of questions designed to measure inner strength and daily stress. How each person handled pressure was matched against their ability to stay strong during hard times.  Patterns began appearing once all answers were gathered. Some stayed calm without much effort. Others felt strain more deeply. A form asking about personal background was completed by everyone involved. When looked at through SPSS (software for studying numbers) the link appeared between how resilient someone was and how much stress they felt, focusing on siblings of individuals who are facing challenges.
