Parents of children with autism spectrum disorders are exposed to mental distress because of having a disabled child more than parents with children with other psychological disorders, and their children's disorder has a negative effect on their hope and life satisfaction. The present study aimed to examining the effectiveness of group positive parenting training on increasing hope and life satisfaction in mothers of children with autism. This was a quasi-experimental study with pretest, posttest, and control and experimental groups. Mothers with autistic children (6-15 years) in Rasht consisted the statistical population of the study. All the children had a medical record and autism diagnosis based on DSM-IV-TR by a psychiatrist. Hope Questionnaires by Snyder and Life Satisfaction Questionnaire by Diener were implemented. Participants of the experimental group received positive parenting training for 8 sessions, and participants of the control group were put in the state of waiting. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage) and inferential statistics (univariate and multivariate covariance analysis) were used for data analysis. In this study, 27 mothers of children with autism were examined. The mean and standard deviation of the age of mothers in the experimental group was 36.14± 2.47 years and it was 37± 3.62 years for mothers in the control group. The results of univariate covariance analysis revealed a significant difference between the scores of pretest and posttest of the experimental and control groups in life satisfaction (Sum of square = 16.558, F = 13.534, DF = 1, P = 0.002, 〖=ƞ〗^2 = 0.361). The results of this study showed that using group positive parenting training can have a positive effect on dimensions of hope and life satisfaction in mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder.
与患有其他心理障碍孩子的父母相比，自闭症谱系障碍孩子的父母因孩子残疾而承受更多精神痛苦，且孩子的病症对他们的希望和生活满意度产生负面影响。本研究旨在检验团体积极育儿训练对提高自闭症孩子母亲的希望和生活满意度的有效性。这是一项采用前测、后测以及控制组和实验组的准实验研究。拉什特市6至15岁自闭症孩子的母亲构成了该研究的统计总体。所有孩子均有病历且经精神科医生依据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册第四版修订版》（DSM-IV-TR）确诊为自闭症。采用了斯奈德编制的希望问卷和迪纳编制的生活满意度问卷。实验组参与者接受了8次积极育儿训练，控制组参与者则处于等待状态。数据分析采用描述性统计（均值、标准差、频率和百分比）和推断性统计（单变量和多变量协方差分析）。在本研究中，对27位自闭症孩子的母亲进行了考察。实验组母亲年龄的均值和标准差为36.14±2.47岁，控制组母亲为37±3.62岁。单变量协方差分析结果显示，实验组和控制组在生活满意度的前测和后测得分之间存在显著差异（平方和=16.558，F=13.534，自由度=1，P=0.002，偏 eta 方=0.361）。本研究结果表明，采用团体积极育儿训练可对自闭症谱系障碍孩子母亲的希望和生活满意度维度产生积极影响。
