[Purpose] This study investigates the effects of group occupational therapy using a cueing system on the executive function of preschool-aged children with brain lesions. [Subjects and Methods] Six preschool-aged children with brain lesions participated in this study. A 24-session occupational therapy program (1 session/week, 50 minutes/session) designed based on a cueing system was administered to examine the changes in the participants' executive function. The behavior rating inventory of executive function-preschool (BRIEF-P) was used to check the magnitude of improvement of executive functions after therapy. [Results] A Wilcoxon signed rank test revealed that occupational therapy significantly improved all domains, indices, and the global executive composite in the BRIEF-P. [Conclusion] The occupational therapy intervention incorporating a type of cognitive behavioral approach known as the cueing system may assist improving executive functions in preschool-aged children with brain lesions.
[目的] 本研究探讨使用提示系统的团体职业疗法对脑损伤学龄前儿童执行功能的影响。[对象与方法] 六名脑损伤学龄前儿童参与了本研究。实施了一项基于提示系统设计的24节职业疗法项目（每周1节，每节50分钟），以检查参与者执行功能的变化。使用执行功能行为评定量表-学龄前版（BRIEF-P）来检查治疗后执行功能的改善程度。[结果] 威尔科克森符号秩检验显示，职业疗法显著改善了BRIEF-P中的所有领域、指标和整体执行功能综合得分。[结论] 纳入一种称为提示系统的认知行为方法的职业疗法干预可能有助于改善脑损伤学龄前儿童的执行功能。
