Many parents of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) report that they are ill-equipped to support their children's behaviour, and these youths are known to be at substantially greater risk of emotional or behavioural problems compared to their typically developing peers. There is a need for an efficient and tailored parenting program for parents of adolescents with ASD that includes guidance on how to best support these youths' development and well-being.
The current study examined the feasibility of Building Bridges Triple P (BBTP), an eight-week (11.5 h) parenting program specifically targeted to the needs of parents of adolescents with a developmental disability.
A pretest-posttest single group design was used to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of BBTP, and the potential of the program to have desired intervention effects, with nine parents of adolescents with ASD.
After participating in BBTP, parents reported significant reductions in their adolescent's behaviour problems, increased parenting confidence, decreased lax and overreactive responding, and decreased symptoms of depression and stress. These effects were mostly observed at post-test but were more pronounced at 3-month follow-up. Parents reported that they were satisfied with the content and format of BBTP.
Results provide preliminary support for the feasibility and acceptability of BBTP, and that the program has a number of desired intervention effects.
许多自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）青少年的家长报告称，他们缺乏支持孩子行为的能力，而这些青少年与同龄人相比，情绪或行为问题的风险明显更高。因此，需要为 ASD 青少年的家长提供一种高效且量身定制的育儿计划，其中包括如何最好地支持这些青少年的发展和福祉的指导。
本研究旨在检验 Building Bridges Triple P（BBTP）的可行性，这是一种专门针对发育障碍青少年家长需求的八周（11.5 小时）育儿计划。
采用前测后测单组设计来评估 BBTP 的可行性和可接受性，以及该计划对父母养育信心、青少年行为问题、父母过度反应和抑郁/压力症状产生预期干预效果的潜力，共有 9 名 ASD 青少年的家长参与了该研究。
参加 BBTP 后，家长报告称其青少年的行为问题显著减少，养育信心增加，宽松和过度反应减少，抑郁和压力症状减少。这些效果大多在测试后观察到，但在 3 个月随访时更为明显。家长们表示他们对 BBTP 的内容和形式感到满意。
结果初步支持了 BBTP 的可行性和可接受性，并且该计划产生了一些预期的干预效果。
