A Pilot Study of a Co-parenting Intervention for Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Journal of Child and Family Studies(2022)
摘要
The aims of this pilot study are to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a peer-delivered co-parenting program, Autism Parent Navigators (APN), for parents of children recently diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Thirty families (63 caregivers) participated in a mixed-method quasi-experimental test of the six-week intervention. Feasibility and acceptability data were collected weekly. Outcome data were collected at baseline, post-test, and 3-month follow-up. The findings suggest that the APN program was generally feasible to deliver in a community setting and was acceptable to parents of children with ASD. The results also offer promising preliminary evidence of the program’s impact on parents’ ASD service navigation, co-parent relationship quality and parent well-being. APN could be an effective tool for supporting families in the months following their child’s diagnosis.
