Diagnosis Disclosure Support for Caregivers of Children With Autism
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Autism Spectrum Disorder
In brief
The purpose of this randomized controlled pilot study is to develop and evaluate an online diagnosis disclosure support intervention for caregivers of 7- to 12-year-old children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in South Korea. This intervention is designed to support caregivers who are contemplating, preparing for, or carrying out disclosure of their child's ASD diagnosis to the child. This study has three primary aims: (1) to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of the intervention; (2) to examine clinically meaningful effects of the intervention on caregivers' psychological well-being and psychosocial adjustment (e.g., emotion regulation, loneliness/social isolation, and adaptation to life transitions), parenting competence and attitudes (e.g., parenting self-efficacy, parenting role satisfaction, and parenting stress), and autism-related knowledge and social perceptions (e.g., autism knowledge and perceived autism-related stigma); and (3) to assess whether the effects of the intervention are maintained one month after program completion.
