We conducted an open-trial proof of concept study to determine the safety, acceptability, and feasibility of Mindful Self-Care for Caregivers (MSCC) for parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) (N = 13). The intervention was offered as a co-located care model in a pediatric specialty center where the participants' children received care. Results demonstrated that the intervention was: highly acceptable to all stakeholders (i.e., participants, the group facilitator, and center administration) and could be conducted safely by a masters-level practitioner with minimal resources. Further, secondary measures support a hypothesized interventional model of MSCC, demonstrating gains in mindfulness skills and sense of competency in the parenting role reduced perceived stress and depression in parents of children with ASD.
我们进行了一项开放试验概念验证研究,以确定正念自我关爱(MSCC)对自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童父母的安全性、可接受性和可行性(N=13)。该干预措施作为一种共同定位的护理模式,在参与者的孩子接受护理的儿科专业中心提供。研究结果表明,该干预措施:得到了所有利益相关者(即参与者、小组协调员和中心管理)的高度认可,并且可以由具有最少资源的硕士级从业者安全地进行。此外,次要措施支持 MSCC 的假设干预模型,证明了正念技能的提高和对育儿角色的胜任感的提高可以降低 ASD 儿童父母的压力和抑郁感。
