Abstract

Background

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often face difficulties in parent-child relationships and exhibit problematic behaviors. This study retrospectively examines the effects of standard Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for children with ASD and their caregivers in Japan, focusing on reducing parental stress and children's problematic behaviors.

Methods

Eight parent-child dyads with children aged 2.5–7 years with ASD underwent standard PCIT. Measures included the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI), Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF), and Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 4–18 (CBCL/4–18), assessed pre- and post-treatments.

Results

For parents, ECBI problem score decreased from 16.8 (SD ± 4.4) to 3.0 (SD ± 4.1) pre- and post-treatment (p < 0.05, effect size 1.9). PSI-SF parent section scores dropped from 28.7 (SD ± 7.1) to 22.1 (SD ± 6.2) (p < 0.01, effect size 2.0). The total PSI-SF score from 58.1 (SD ± 10.9) to 45.0 (SD ± 11.1), (p < 0.01, effect size 1.7). For children, ECBI intensity scores decreased from 147.9 (SD ± 20.3) to 85.5 (SD ± 17.7) (p < 0.01, effect size 3.4). PSI-SF child section scores fell from 29.4 (SD ± 4.8) to 22.9 (SD ± 5.8) (p < 0.05, effect size of 1.2), and total CBCL from 70.3 (SD ± 5.9) to 62.0 (SD ± 8.4) (p < 0.05, effect size of 1.5).

Conclusion

The standard PCIT for children with ASD and their parents in Japan significantly reduces parental stress and children's problematic behaviors, improving parent-child interactions.
亲子互动疗法对日本自闭症谱系障碍儿童的治疗效果。
背景:自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童在亲子关系中经常面临困难,并表现出问题行为。本研究回顾性研究了标准亲子互动疗法(PCIT)对日本自闭症儿童及其照顾者的影响,重点是减少父母的压力和儿童的问题行为。方法:8对2.5 ~ 7岁ASD患儿进行标准PCIT治疗。测量方法包括Eyberg儿童行为量表(ECBI)、Beck抑郁量表- ii (BDI-II)、父母压力指数简表(PSI-SF)和4-18岁儿童行为检查表(CBCL/4-18),对治疗前后进行评估。结果:家长的ECBI问题评分从治疗前后的16.8 (SD±4.4)降至3.0 (SD±4.1)(p)。结论:日本ASD儿童及其家长的标准PCIT显著降低了父母的压力和儿童的问题行为,改善了亲子互动。
