Abstract：
Families of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities often face unique challenges that significantly impact their quality of life. Understanding the predictors of family quality of life (FQOL) is crucial for developing effective support systems and interventions.
OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the predictors that might influence the perception of families having a member with a disability regarding their quality of life (FQOL).
METHODS: The sample consisted of 320 family members from the Riyadh region of Saudi Arabia.
RESULTS: The overall results showed that participants\' satisfaction with FQOL was at a moderate level. Further results indicated that variables associated with severity, type of disability, and the mother\'s age and education were significant predictors of the FQOL.
CONCLUSIONS: These results emphasize the importance of considering the variables that impact FQOL, such as the severity and type of disability, and mother\'s related variables, when directing support to families with a member with a disability. The recommendations and limitations of the study were discussed.

摘要：
有智力和发育障碍的儿童的家庭经常面临独特的挑战，这些挑战极大地影响了他们的生活质量。了解家庭生活质量（FQOL）的预测因素对于开发有效的支持系统和干预措施至关重要。
目的：这项研究调查了可能影响有残疾成员的家庭对其生活质量（FQOL）的看法的预测因素。
方法：样本由来自沙特阿拉伯利雅得地区的320名家庭成员组成。
结果：总体结果显示，参与者对FQOL的满意度处于中等水平。进一步的结果表明，与严重程度相关的变量，残疾类型,母亲的年龄和受教育程度是FQOL的重要预测因素。
结论：这些结果强调了考虑影响FQOL的变量的重要性，比如残疾的严重程度和类型，和母亲的相关变量，当指导支持有残疾成员的家庭时。讨论了该研究的建议和局限性。
