An item response theory analysis of the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form with parents of children with autism spectrum disorders / Anat ZAIDMAN-ZAIT in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 51-11 (November 2010)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 51-11 (November 2010) . - p.1269-1277 Titre : An item response theory analysis of the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form with parents of children with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anat ZAIDMAN-ZAIT, Auteur ; Pat MIRENDA, Auteur ; Bruno D. ZUMBO, Auteur ; Stephen WELLINGTON, Auteur ; Vikram DUA, Auteur ; Karen KALYNCHUK, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.1269-1277 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism-spectrum-disorders parenting-stress item-response-theory Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background:  The Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF) is one of the most widely used instruments for measuring parenting stress in families of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, no research to date has examined the psychometric properties of the PSI-SF in a sample of parents of young children with ASD. In this regard, item response theory (IRT) can be used to estimate how much information or discrimination each item of a scale offers across the entire range of the latent variable being measured, by creating individual item information curves or profiles. The purpose of this study was to use IRT to examine the discriminability of PSI-SF items in a sample of parents of young children with ASD who experience varying levels of parental stress. Methods:  The study involved the parents of 141 children with autism spectrum disorders (91.4% mothers; mean age 36.2 years) who completed the PSI-SF following diagnosis. Item characteristic curves were constructed for each of the PSI-SF items and examined with regard to item functioning. Results:  Results indicated that, for the most part, changes in parental distress severity were reflected in changes on item scores. However, several items on the subscales measuring parent–child dysfunctional interactions and child behavior difficulty functioned poorly to discriminate parents across a range of total stress severity. Conclusions:  The parent–child dysfunctional interaction and difficult child subscales of the PSI-SF scale should be used with caution with parents of young children with ASD. More research is required to examine PSI-SF content validity, at least among parents of children with ASD and perhaps parents of children with other disabilities as well.

Parent coaching intervention for children with suspected autism spectrum disorder: Cost analysis / Kate TSIPLOVA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 93 (May 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 93 (May 2022) . - 101949 Titre : Parent coaching intervention for children with suspected autism spectrum disorder: Cost analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kate TSIPLOVA, Auteur ; Jathishinie JEGATHISAWARAN, Auteur ; Pat MIRENDA, Auteur ; Karen KALYNCHUK, Auteur ; Paola COLOZZO, Auteur ; Veronica SMITH, Auteur ; Wendy J. UNGAR, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101949 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Parent coaching  Toddlers  Service use  Cost analysis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Parent coaching interventions for young children suspected of having autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have shown promise. The objectives were to measure the costs of parent coaching and the pre-diagnosis utilization of services and treatments related to autism and to compare costs between families who received parent coaching (PC) and those who received enhanced community treatment (ECT). Methods This analysis was conducted prospectively alongside a randomized comparative effectiveness trial of a PC intervention in British Columbia, Canada. Twenty-four participants were randomly assigned to the PC group and received 24 weeks of coaching support and 25 participants were assigned to the ECT group. Families in both groups also received health, education and community services. Parent-reported service utilization was collected for the 6 months prior to initiation of parent coaching and for the period coinciding with receipt of one of the two interventions. Services were costed from the public payer (i.e., provincial government) and societal perspectives; the latter included out-of-pocket family costs, parental time losses due to caregiving, and public payer costs. Results Families in the PC group used fewer services than did those in the ECT group. The estimated incremental mean cost per family over two time periods for PC compared to ECT was $2515 CAD (95% CI: ? 1302, 5071) from the public payer perspective and $6994 CAD (95% CI: ? 4395, 19,299) from the societal perspective. Conclusions The findings can be used to inform funding and policy decision-making to enhance the treatment options available for young children awaiting an ASD diagnosis.

No other authors declare a conflict of  interest. Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A randomized feasibility trial of a parent coaching (PC) intervention was conducted across 16 community agencies in a Canadian province. Parents of toddlers with suspected autism were assigned to either a PC group (n=24) or an enhanced community treatment (ECT) group (n=25). PC participants received 24 weeks of coaching support from community service providers trained in the project. Children in both groups also received available community services and supplementary materials. PC children made significantly greater gains in word understanding and PC parents had significantly higher quality of life, satisfaction, and self-efficacy scores. Results are discussed in terms of the challenges of conducting feasibility studies in community settings and the lessons learned in the project.

Training Coaches in Community Agencies to Support Parents of Children with Suspected Autism: Outcomes, Facilitators, and Barriers / Pat MIRENDA in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-11 (November 2022)

Training addressed four tiers of clinical competence and was delivered to early intervention providers across 23 partner agencies in a large Canadian province. Results indicated that mean trainee fidelity scores were within the range reported in previous community-based training studies but there was considerable variability across trainees. Implementation facilitators included agency learning climate, leadership support, and trainee readiness for change. Implementation barriers included time/caseload demands and challenges related to technology learning and infrastructure. Results have implications for parent coach training in community settings.
