Abstract

The objective was to evaluate the impact of a psychoeducational program on the stress and quality of life of parents with a child with autism. In total, 20 parents attended a shortened version (SV group) of the program and 15 others a complete version (CV group). An assessment of perceived stress, parenting stress, and quality of life was performed before (T0), after (T1), and 6 months after the program (T2). Parental satisfaction was measured at T1. Parents in the CV group appeared to be significantly less stressed, and there was a significant improvement in certain areas of their quality of life (relationship with the child, psychological well-being, and personal fulfillment). No significant effects were observed in the SV group. Both groups highly appreciated the program. These results confirm the need to offer support to parents after receiving a diagnosis of autism for their child.

心理教育项目对法国自闭症儿童父母的压力和生活质量影响的初步结果

目的是评估心理教育项目对自闭症儿童父母的压力和生活质量的影响。总共有20名家长参加了该项目的缩短版（SV组），另有15名家长参加完整版（CV组）。在项目实施前（T0）、实施后（T1）和实施后6个月（T2）对感知压力、养育压力和生活质量进行评估。在T1测量父母的满意度。CV组的父母似乎压力明显减轻，他们的生活质量在某些方面（与孩子的关系、心理健康和个人成就感）有了显著改善。SV组没有观察到显著的影响。两个小组都对这个项目表示高度赞赏。这些结果证实，在孩子被诊断为自闭症后，有必要为父母提供支持。
