Abstract

Aim

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Group social skills interventions (GSSIs) versus any comparator on social functioning in children aged 5–12 years with acquired brain injury or cerebral palsy.

Background

GSSIs are an evidence-based approach to foster social skills development in children with autism spectrum disorder. Currently, limited literature exploring GSSIs in children with acquired brain injury and cerebral palsy is available.

Results

MEDLINE, SCOPUS, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, clinicaltrials.gov, ICTRP and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses were systematically searched. Study screening, risk-of-bias, Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation and data extraction were performed in duplicate. Six studies were included in the narrative synthesis (one randomised controlled trial and five nonrandomised studies). Results indicate that GSSIs may increase children's social skills as measured on the Social Skills Rating System and Social Skills Questionnaire. Very low certainty evidence was found for improvements in social functioning and competence.

Conclusions

There is low certainty evidence that participation in GSSI may lead to gains in social functioning for children with acquired brain injury or cerebral palsy. Given the certainty of the evidence, these results must be interpreted with caution. Only one randomised controlled trial of GSSIs for children with acquired brain injury was identified, underscoring the need for additional high-quality studies.

小组社交技能干预对后天性脑损伤或大脑性麻痹儿童的社会功能和社会参与效果的系统性回顾。

目的：本研究旨在评估团体社交技能干预（GSSIs）与任何参照物相比，对5-12岁后天性脑损伤或脑瘫儿童社交功能的疗效：背景：小组社交技能干预是一种以证据为基础的方法，可促进自闭症谱系障碍儿童的社交技能发展。目前，针对后天性脑损伤和脑瘫儿童的 GSSIs 探索文献有限：对 MEDLINE、SCOPUS、Embase、CINAHL、Cochrane Library、PsycINFO、clinicaltrials.gov、ICTRP 和 ProQuest Dissertations and Theses 进行了系统检索。研究筛选、偏倚风险、建议分级评估、开发和评价以及数据提取均一式两份。六项研究被纳入叙述性综述（一项随机对照试验和五项非随机研究）。结果表明，根据社交技能评级系统和社交技能问卷的测量结果，GSSIs 可以提高儿童的社交技能。结论：有低度确定性证据表明，参加 GSSI 可提高后天性脑损伤或脑瘫儿童的社交功能。鉴于证据的不确定性，必须谨慎解释这些结果。目前只发现了一项针对后天性脑损伤儿童的 GSSI 随机对照试验，这表明需要进行更多高质量的研究。

期刊介绍： Child: care, health and development is an international, peer-reviewed journal which publishes papers dealing with all aspects of the health and development of children and young people. We aim to attract quantitative and qualitative research papers relevant to people from all disciplines working in child health. We welcome studies which examine the effects of social and environmental factors on health and development as well as those dealing with clinical issues, the organization of services and health policy. We particularly encourage the submission of studies related to those who are disadvantaged by physical, developmental, emotional and social problems. The journal also aims to collate important research findings and to provide a forum for discussion of global child health issues.
