This qualitative study explored parents' points of view regarding their children's participation in occupational therapy using a sensory integration approach. Data were collected through parent interviews and were analyzed using grounded theory methods. The parents' perceptions of the benefits of therapy for their children were categorized into three interrelated constructs: abilities, activities, and reconstruction of self-worth. For themselves, parents valued understanding their children's behavior in new ways, which facilitated a shift in expectations for themselves and their children, having their parenting experience validated, and being able to support and advocate for their children. Implications for family-centered intervention and future research are proposed.
这项定性研究探讨了父母对于其子女采用感觉统合方法参与职业治疗的观点。数据通过对父母的访谈收集，并使用扎根理论方法进行分析。父母对治疗给子女带来益处的认知被归纳为三个相互关联的概念：能力、活动和自我价值的重建。对于父母自身而言，他们重视以新的方式理解子女的行为，这有助于转变对自己和子女的期望，使他们为人父母的经验得到认可，并且能够支持子女并为其争取权益。文中还提出了以家庭为中心的干预措施及对未来研究的启示。
