Not enough is known about parents' experiences of receiving the news that their child warrants a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Sharing this information with parents is an important and difficult part of Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) practice. Qualitative methodology was used to explore the experiences of the 'feedback session' with nine sets of parents in a community Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) in North East England. Parents gave vivid accounts of their experiences and described issues relating to the structure, style and content of the session. The experiences of CAMHS users should inform the development of good practice in this important area.
关于父母在得知自己的孩子被诊断患有自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)时的经历,我们所知甚少。与父母分享这一信息是儿童和青少年心理健康(CAMH)实践中重要且困难的一部分。采用定性研究方法,对英格兰东北部一家社区儿童和青少年心理健康服务机构(CAMHS)的九组父母在“反馈会议”中的经历进行了探索。父母们生动地讲述了他们的经历,并描述了与会议的结构、风格和内容相关的问题。CAMHS用户的经历应为这一重要领域良好实践的发展提供参考。
