Perceived self-efficacy in parents of adolescents and adults with autism spectrum disorder / Jonathan A WEISS in Autism, 20-4 (May 2016)

In an effort to identify the factors that contribute to the difficulties these families face, this study examined the role of demographic, systemic, and clinical need variables as they relate to parents’ experience of self-efficacy. Participants included 324 parents of individuals with autism spectrum disorder, 12–25?years of age. Results suggest that parent self-efficacy is related to a number of variables and not simply a child’s clinical situation, including child age, parent immigrant status, barriers to service access, and caregiver burden. Given the crucial role that parents often play in the lives of individuals with autism spectrum disorder across the lifespan, it is important that service providers support the efforts of parents who provide and access care for their children.

Predictors of health service use among adolescents and adults with autism and aggression / Melissa PAQUETTE-SMITH in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 68 (December 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 68 (December 2019) . - p.101418 Titre : Predictors of health service use among adolescents and adults with autism and aggression Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Melissa PAQUETTE-SMITH, Auteur ; Jonathan A. WEISS, Auteur ; Julie DERGAL, Auteur ; Johanna LAKE, Auteur ; Yona LUNSKY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101418 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Health services  Autism  Adolescents  Adults  Psychotropic medication  Psychosocial intervention  Behavioral intervention  Aggression Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Clinical guidelines recommend that psychosocial interventions be used before medication to manage aggressive behavior in individuals with autism. However, the extent to which a multidisciplinary approach is implemented and the factors that influence service use in this complex population are not well understood. Methods In this study, parents of 182 adolescents and adults with autism and a history of aggression were asked to report on their child’s health service use every two months for a year. Individuals that used services in this time period (N?=?158) were classified into three groups: users of psychotropic medication alone (n?=?28, 17.7%); psychosocial services alone (n?=?33, 20.9%); or users of both (n?=?97, 61.4%). Results Although the majority of the sample (82.3%) received guideline recommended treatment (i.e., psychosocial services or a combination of psychosocial services and psychotropic medication), 17.7% were using psychotropic medication alone. Several enabling variables, including visiting a family physician in the two-months prior to baseline, having higher parental education, and having parents who reported being able to effectively access services predicted using psychosocial services alone or in combination with medication. Predisposing and need variables (i.e., being younger and having no psychiatric disorders) also predicted using psychosocial services compared to medication alone. Conclusions Understanding predictors of service use can help to identify and address barriers that may prevent adults with autism and aggression from accessing guideline recommended care.
