Abstract

Background

Arabs with intellectual disabilities and/or autism may exhibit challenging behaviour that affects them and their caregivers. Early, appropriate intervention may reduce these effects. This review synthesised and critically appraised challenging behaviour intervention research for this population.

Methods

All published empirical research on challenging behaviour interventions for Arabs with intellectual disabilities and/or autism was included. In September 2022, 15 English and Arabic databases yielded 5282 search records. Studies were appraised using the MMAT. Review findings were narratively synthesised.

Results

The 79 included studies (n = 1243 participants) varied in design, intervention, and evaluation method. Only 12.6% of interventions were well-designed and reported. Arab interventions primarily targeted children, were applied collectively on small samples, lacked individualised assessment, and were based on an inconsistent understanding of challenging behaviour.

Conclusion

The evidence base on interventions for Arabs with intellectual disabilities and/or autism and challenging behaviour needs strengthening. Attention should be given to culturally relevant adaptations.

针对有智力障碍和/或自闭症的阿拉伯儿童和成人的挑战性行为的干预措施：系统回顾

背景患有智力障碍和/或自闭症的阿拉伯人可能会表现出具有挑战性的行为，从而影响到他们自己和照顾他们的人。早期适当的干预可以减少这些影响。本综述综合并严格评估了针对这一人群的挑战性行为干预研究。方法纳入所有已发表的针对阿拉伯智障人士和/或自闭症患者的挑战性行为干预实证研究。2022 年 9 月，15 个英语和阿拉伯语数据库共检索到 5282 条记录。研究采用 MMAT 进行评估。对审查结果进行了叙述性综合。结果所纳入的 79 项研究（n = 1243 名参与者）在设计、干预和评估方法上各不相同。只有 12.6% 的干预措施是经过精心设计和报告的。阿拉伯干预措施主要针对儿童，对小样本进行集体应用，缺乏个性化评估，对挑战性行为的理解也不一致。结论对患有智力障碍和/或自闭症并有挑战行为的阿拉伯人进行干预的证据基础需要加强。应关注与文化相关的调整。
