Abstract
Background: Many children with sensory processing differences receive occupational therapy services using sensory integration therapy (SIT). Studies exist to demonstrate the effects of this intervention on the child receiving the service. However, children exist as part of a family unit. There is limited research to examine the effect of SIT on the family.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions and experiences of caregivers as to the impact on families of children who received SIT.
Methodology: Qualitative, phenomenological methodology was utilized.
Results: Results revealed four themes: family routines, parent response/reaction to sensory, modified participation in family activities needs, and improved regulation leading to increased family participation outside the home.
Conclusion: This study indicates that parents perceive positive effects on participation of the family unit and for the child receiving SIT therapy.
背景：许多感统失调儿童都接受过使用感觉统合疗法（SIT）的职业治疗服务。已有研究证明了这种干预对接受服务的儿童的影响。然而，儿童是家庭单位的一部分。有关感觉统合疗法对家庭影响的研究十分有限：本研究的目的是探讨照顾者对接受 SIT 的儿童家庭的影响的看法和经验：方法：采用定性、现象学方法：结果显示了四个主题：家庭常规、父母对感官的反应/回应、参与家庭活动需求的改变，以及调节能力的提高导致家庭外出参与的增加：本研究表明，家长认为接受 SIT 治疗对家庭单位和儿童的参与有积极影响。
