摘要

Objective

This study aimed to examine the impact of family intervention on parents and children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by conducting a comprehensive literature review and meta-analysis of recent randomized controlled trials.

Methods

The researchers conducted a systematic literature search using respected electronic databases and performed a meticulous meta-analysis process.

Results

The meta-analysis, including 28 randomized controlled trials, demonstrated that family interventions significantly improved social skills, restricted interests, motor skills, and overall ASD severity in children with ASD. Parental benefits included a marked reduction in distress levels. However, the interventions showed limited effectiveness in improving communication difficulties, reducing repetitive behaviors, and enhancing parental self-efficacy.

Conclusions

Family interventions provide meaningful benefits for children with ASD and their parents, particularly in enhancing core developmental skills and reducing parental distress. Further research is essential to address the limited effectiveness in improving communication and repetitive behaviors and to optimize support for parental self-efficacy.
