People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities have poorer health and face unique barriers to health care compared to people without disabilities. These health disparities can be partially attributed to physicians' limited knowledge about caring for patients with developmental disabilities. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of ASD training for medical students. Our training included a lecture and a panel presentation that featured people with ASD and family members. Students reported improved knowledge, skills, confidence, and comfort in caring for patients with ASD.
与无残疾人士相比,患有自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)和其他发育障碍的人健康状况较差,并且在获得医疗保健方面面临独特的障碍。这些健康差距部分可归因于医生在照顾发育障碍患者方面的知识有限。本研究的目的是确定针对医学生的ASD培训的有效性。我们的培训包括一次讲座和一场由ASD患者及其家庭成员参与的小组展示。学生们报告称,他们在照顾ASD患者方面的知识、技能、信心和舒适度都有所提高。
