Sampling: The study involved 75 family caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder. Data Collection Tools: Four tools were used: Tool (I) Structured Interview questionnaire, Tool (II) Parenting Stress Index, Tool (III) Zarit Burden interviewing questionnaire for family caregivers, and Tool (IV) Explanatory Model Interview Catalogue-Community Stigma Scale. Results: This study shows that highly statistically significant differences were found between pre/post-program implementation in total levels of parenting stress, burden, and community stigma. In addition, there was a highly statistically significant correlation between total scores of parent stress, burden, and community stigma during the pre/post-program implementation phase (P≤ 0.001).

Recommendations: Generate and manage nursing care plans for caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder should focus on their child's psychiatric mental health aspect and provide caregivers with sufficient social support
