摘要

Culturally responsive interventions are essential for improving treatment engagement and outcomes among diverse populations. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effects of a culturally adapted Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACTr) for Latino caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The adaptation incorporated Latino cultural values identified in Castro-Hostetler et al. (2023), including familismo (familism), personalismo (interpersonal relationships), and confianza (trust), into training exercises and metaphors. In addition, the modifications were individualized on the basis of cultural and personal contexts. Results demonstrated increased engagement in value-directed behaviors and improvements in caregiver quality of life. Findings highlight the importance of going beyond language translation to incorporate in-depth cultural adaptations, to enhance intervention effectiveness and provide a framework for future adaptations to better support Latino caregivers.
