Abstract

Introduction:Parents of individuals with autism face various difficulties, among which are decreased resilience and heightened stress. OT-Parentship is an intervention for parents of adolescents with autism that aims to promote parental resilience and enhance adolescents’ participation in daily life. This study examines OT-Parentship’s feasibility and explores the improvement of parental resilience and child and parent occupational performance following intervention.Methods:A mixed methods pre-post and follow up study. Fourteen parents (six mothers and four couples) of adolescents with autism participated in a series of 13 individual weekly sessions of 90 minutes each. Study results were analyzed before, after, and 3 months post intervention.Results:All parents completed treatment, with 100% adherence to sessions. Therapist’s treatment fidelity was estimated at 95–97% and parent homework completion was 85%. Preliminary efficacy findings show significant improvement in mothers’ and adolescents’ occupational performance and improvement in maternal resiliency.Conclusion:Research results support the feasibility of the OT-Parentship as a family centered, strength-based, intervention program that leads to improvements in adolescent participation and parental resilience.

OT-Parentship 的可行性：针对自闭症青少年父母的干预措施

导言：自闭症患者的父母面临着各种困难，其中包括抗压能力下降和压力增大。OT-Parentship 是一项针对自闭症青少年家长的干预措施，旨在提高家长的抗压能力，并加强青少年对日常生活的参与。本研究探讨了 "加时赛-家长之友 "的可行性，并探讨了干预后家长复原力的改善情况以及儿童和家长的职业表现。自闭症青少年的 14 位家长（6 位母亲和 4 对夫妇）参加了每周 13 次、每次 90 分钟的个人课程。研究结果在干预前、干预后和干预后 3 个月进行了分析。结果：所有家长都完成了治疗，治疗坚持率达到 100%。治疗师的治疗忠实度估计为 95-97%，家长作业完成率为 85%。初步疗效研究结果表明，母亲和青少年的职业表现有了明显改善，母亲的适应能力也有了提高。结论：研究结果表明，作为一项以家庭为中心、以力量为基础的干预计划，"OT-父母关系 "是可行的，它能提高青少年的参与度和父母的适应能力。
