Abstract

Autism stakeholder groups prioritize applied intervention research to improve conditions co-occurring with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), but health-related quality of life measures aren’t established for children with ASD. The purpose of this study was to estimate rates and variability of responses of parents of children with ASD on the Children’s Health Questionnaire (CHQ) to inform future recreational therapy intervention research with this population. This study used pre-post design to gather parent responses for 31 children with ASD before and after intervention. Confidence intervals indicated CHQ summary scores were more precise than scale scores. Several profile scales showed greater variability at post-testing. Parents of children with ASD reported lower scores than the general population across all CHQ measures, particularly in behavior, mental health and psychosocial health. The CHQ PF-28 is an appropriate measure of health-related quality of life of children with ASD. Future research should confirm these findings and investigate use of child report versions of the CHQ with children with ASD. Subscribe to TRJ

儿童健康问卷测量自闭症人群娱乐治疗干预效果的可行性
自闭症利益相关者团体优先考虑应用干预研究,以改善与自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)共存的条件,但与自闭症谱系障碍儿童健康相关的生活质量措施尚未建立。本研究的目的是估计自闭症儿童父母在儿童健康问卷(CHQ)上的反应率和变异性,为未来针对这一人群的娱乐治疗干预研究提供信息。本研究采用前后设计收集31名自闭症儿童干预前后家长的反应。置信区间表明CHQ总结得分比量表得分更精确。几个剖面量表在后测中显示出更大的变异性。自闭症儿童的父母在所有CHQ指标上的得分都低于一般人群,尤其是在行为、心理健康和社会心理健康方面。CHQ PF-28是衡量ASD儿童健康相关生活质量的适当指标。未来的研究应该证实这些发现,并调查使用儿童报告版本的自闭症儿童CHQ。订阅TRJ
