This study was conducted to examine the posttraumatic growth (PTG) of parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the association among family function, mental resilience and PTG.
This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 205 parents of children with ASD in the clinical department of a university-affiliated hospital in Guangzhou from January to October 2019. The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, Family Assessment Device, and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale were employed for data collection.
The mean PTG score of parents was 59.56±18.46; and 24.63%, 43.84%, and 32.51% of parents exhibited a high level, moderate level and low level, respectively, of PTG. The problem-solving dimension of family function (p = 0.005) and the strength dimension of mental resilience (p ≤0.001) were positively related to PTG.
Parents of children with ASD experienced moderate PTG overall. The problem-solving dimension of family function and the strength dimension of mental resilience were significant predictors of PTG.
Interventions to improve family function and the mental resilience of parents with ASD children could contribute to improving the PTG of parents.
本研究旨在探讨自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患儿父母的创伤后成长（PTG）情况，以及家庭功能、心理韧性与 PTG 之间的关系。
本研究采用描述性的横断面研究方法，于 2019 年 1 月至 10 月选取广州某大学附属医院临床科室的 205 名 ASD 患儿的家长作为研究对象，使用创伤后成长量表、家庭评估量表和 Connor-Davidson 心理韧性量表进行数据收集。
家长的 PTG 平均得分为 59.56±18.46；24.63%、43.84%和 32.51%的家长分别表现出高、中、低水平的 PTG。家庭功能的解决问题维度（p=0.005）和心理韧性的力量维度（p≤0.001）与 PTG 呈正相关。
ASD 患儿的家长总体上经历了中等程度的 PTG。家庭功能的解决问题维度和心理韧性的力量维度是 PTG 的显著预测因素。
干预 ASD 患儿家长的家庭功能和心理韧性，有助于提高家长的 PTG。
