A psychoeducational support group program for aging parents (mean age = 65.3) of adult offspring with developmental disabilities was established with assistance from a focus group of practitioners and parents. We reported on the program's development, parents' self-reported objectives for participating in the program, as well as appraisals made by the parents and professional group leaders regarding process and outcome issues. We were also interested in whether parents who resided with their offspring (n = 17) experienced support groups differently than did parents with offspring who lived away (n = 13). Implications for developing and evaluating future interventions with this target population were discussed.
在从业者和家长焦点小组的协助下，为成年子女患有发育障碍的老年父母（平均年龄 = 65.3岁）设立了一个心理教育支持小组项目。我们报告了该项目的开展情况、家长参与项目的自我报告目标，以及家长和专业小组组长对过程和结果问题的评估。我们还感兴趣的是，与子女住在一起的家长（n = 17）与子女住在别处的家长（n = 13）对支持小组的体验是否不同。讨论了针对这一目标人群开展和评估未来干预措施的意义。
