Sensory integration intervention is highly related to the child's effective interaction with the environment and the child's development. Currently, various sensory integration interventions are being applied, but research methodological problems are arising due to unsystematic protocols. This study aims to present the optimal intervention protocol by presenting scientific standards for sensory integration intervention through meta-analysis.
To prove the effectiveness of sensory integration therapy, examine the latest trend of sensory integration studies in Korea, and provide clinical evidence for sensory integration therapies.
The database of Korean search engines, including RISS, KISS, and DBpia, was used to search for related literature published from 2001 to October 2020. The keywords, "Children", "Sensory integration", "Integrated sensory", "Sensory-motor", and "Sensory stimulation" were used in this search. Then, a meta-analysis was conducted on 24 selected studiesRISS, KISS, and DBpia, was used to search for related literature published from 2001 to October 2020. The keywords, "Children", "Sensory integration", "Integrated sensory", "Sensory-motor", and "Sensory stimulation" were used in this search. Then, a meta-analysis was conducted on 24 selected studies.
Sensory integration intervention has been proven effective in children with cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, developmental disorder, and intellectual disability in relation to the diagnosis of children. Regarding sensory integration therapies, 1:1 individual treatment with a therapist or a therapy session lasting for 40 min was most effective. In terms of dependent variables, sensory integration therapy effectively promoted social skills, adaptive behavior, sensory processing, and gross motor and fine motor skills.
The results of this study may be used as therapeutic evidence for sensory integration intervention in the clinical field of occupational therapy for children, and can help to present standards for sensory integration intervention protocols.
感觉统合干预与儿童与环境的有效互动及儿童发展高度相关。目前，各种感觉统合干预方法正在被应用，但由于方案缺乏系统性，出现了研究方法上的问题。本研究旨在通过荟萃分析提出感觉统合干预的科学标准，从而呈现最佳干预方案。
证明感觉统合疗法的有效性，审视韩国感觉统合研究的最新趋势，并为感觉统合疗法提供临床证据。
利用韩国搜索引擎的数据库，包括RISS、KISS和DBpia，搜索2001年至2020年10月发表的相关文献。搜索中使用了“儿童”“感觉统合”“综合感觉”“感觉运动”和“感觉刺激”等关键词。然后，对24项选定的研究进行了荟萃分析。
在儿童诊断方面，感觉统合干预已被证明对患有脑瘫、自闭症谱系障碍、注意力缺陷/多动障碍、发育障碍和智力残疾的儿童有效。关于感觉统合疗法，与治疗师进行一对一的个体治疗或持续40分钟的治疗课程最为有效。在因变量方面，感觉统合疗法有效地促进了社交技能、适应性行为、感觉处理以及大运动和精细运动技能。
本研究结果可作为儿童职业治疗临床领域感觉统合干预的治疗证据，并有助于提出感觉统合干预方案的标准。
