This study examines the impact of a brief Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) group intervention, led by parents, among a cohort of 33 mothers of children with ASD. Changes in ACT process measures (psychological flexibility, cognitive fusion, values) were evaluated at pre, post, and 3 months following the intervention. Mothers reported significant improvement post-intervention in psychological flexibility, cognitive fusion, and value-consistent activities in multiple life domains, including parenting, relationships, and self-care. These improvements were maintained at follow-up. The results provide preliminary evidence that improvements observed in depression and stress may be mediated by cognitive fusion and action-values consistency.

Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders using psychiatric hospitals in Ontario: Clinical profile and service needs / Yona LUNSKY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 3-4 (October-December 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 3-4 (October-December 2009) . - p.1006-1013 Titre : Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders using psychiatric hospitals in Ontario: Clinical profile and service needs Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Yona LUNSKY, Auteur ; Carolyn GRACEY, Auteur ; Elspeth BRADLEY, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.1006-1013 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Psychiatric-services Intellectual-disability Hospitalization Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) represent a small, but challenging sub-group of patients within Ontario's mental health care system. However, few studies have documented the clinical characteristics of this population and examined how such individuals differ from other psychiatric patients, with or without intellectual disabilities (ID). Method A secondary analysis of data from the 2003 Comprehensive Assessment Projects from three psychiatric hospitals in Ontario was conducted to describe patients with ASD and ID and to determine how their profile compared to other hospital users. Results Twenty-three patients with ASD and ID were matched on gender and patient status (inpatient/outpatient) to individuals with and without ID. Individuals with ASD and ID were similar in terms of demographics to patients with and without ID. However, individuals with ASD and ID were younger, spent more days in hospital and were less likely to have a psychotic disorder diagnosis than both patients with and without ID. Inpatients with ASD and ID were recommended for a higher level of care than hospital service users without ID. Conclusions Clearly, this small sub-group of individuals within the hospital population has high clinical needs that are not always well met.

Comparative Effects of Mindfulness and Support and Information Group Interventions for Parents of Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Other Developmental Disabilities / Yona LUNSKY in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-6 (June 2017)

Parents in the mindfulness group reported significant reductions in psychological distress, while parents in the support and information group did not. Reduced levels of distress in the mindfulness group were maintained at 20 weeks follow-up. Mindfulness scores and mindful parenting scores and related constructs (e.g., self-compassion) did not differ between the two groups. Results suggest the psychological components of the mindfulness based group intervention were effective over and above the non-specific effects of group processes and informal support.

Approximately 16% of individuals were reported to have some form of police involvement during the study period. Aggressive behaviors were the primary concern necessitating police involvement. Individuals with police involvement were more likely to be older, have a history of aggression, live outside the family home, and have parents with higher rates of caregiver strain and financial difficulty at baseline. Most parents reported being satisfied to very satisfied with their children’s police encounters. Areas for future research are discussed in relation to prevention planning.

Defining crisis in families of individuals with autism spectrum disorders / Jonathan A. WEISS in Autism, 18-8 (November 2014)

WEISS, Auteur ; Aranda WINGSIONG, Auteur ; Yona LUNSKY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.985-995 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  crisis  family  qualitative study Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Parents of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder often report higher levels of depression, anxiety, and mental health–related issues. The combination of stressors and family adjustment difficulties can cause distress which may develop into a crisis. Understanding crisis in the family is important to mental health practice since it can serve as a guide in delivering service to at-risk families. This study investigated the subjective experience of crisis in 155 mothers of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Thematic analysis revealed that crisis is characterized by factors influencing four major areas: demands, internal capabilities, external resources, and subjective appraisal. Understanding what crisis means to families of individuals with autism spectrum disorder can help inform effective preventative and crisis services.
