Abstract

Background: One of the most crucial objectives in the education and treatment of young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is independence in daily living skills (DLS). Therefore, as a child with ASD condition grows, measures of everyday functioning including adaptive behaviors should be more regularly monitored and regulated.

Aim: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a developed theory-based training program and its preliminary effectiveness on the acquisition of DLS among school-age children with ASD.

Methods: A preliminary experimental research design (pre- and post-evaluation) was conducted from the beginning of May to the end of July 2023 on 31 children with ASD. The socio-economic status scale, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale, and Gilliam Autism Rating Scale were administered before and after a theory-based DLS training program.

Results: There was a significant difference in the DLS and motor functioning before and after the implementation of the training program (p < .001 and p = .021, respectively). In addition, there was a significant difference in the total score of autistic severity before and after the implementation of the training program (p < .001).

Conclusion: The promising outcomes of the study indicate the need for further testing and expansion of this intervention. These findings contribute to the growing body of evidence highlighting the significance of DLS training program in the comprehensive treatment approach for children with ASD. Consequently, proposing DLS training programs as a cost-effective and efficient nursing intervention is warranted.

基于理论的自闭症谱系障碍儿童日常生活技能培训计划的可行性和初步评估:来自埃及农村地区的研究结果。
背景:自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)幼儿教育和治疗的最重要目标之一是日常生活技能(DLS)的独立性。因此,随着自闭症谱系障碍儿童的成长,应更加定期地监测和规范包括适应行为在内的日常功能措施。目的:本研究的主要目的是评估基于理论开发的训练计划的可行性及其对学龄自闭症谱系障碍儿童掌握日常生活技能的初步效果:从 2023 年 5 月初至 7 月底,对 31 名患有 ASD 的儿童进行了初步实验研究设计(前评估和后评估)。社会经济状况量表、维尼兰适应行为量表和吉利安自闭症评定量表在基于理论的DLS培训课程前后进行了测试:实施训练计划前后,DLS 和运动功能有明显差异(p < .001 和 p = .021)。此外,自闭症严重程度总分在实施训练计划前后也有显著差异(p < .001):研究结果令人鼓舞,表明有必要进一步测试和推广这一干预措施。越来越多的证据表明,DLS 训练计划对 ASD 儿童的综合治疗具有重要意义。因此,有必要将 DLS 训练计划作为一种经济有效的护理干预措施。
