成人への移行を支援する「Launching!」プログラムは、神経発達症のある若者とその親をライフイベントの移行期に支援します。この介入は、若者の幸福感を向上させ、親の負担を軽減し、実行可能で受け入れやすいことが証明されました。
科学分野:
- 神経発達症群
- 心理学
- 家族療法
背景:
- 成人への移行は、特に自閉症スペクトラム障害(ASD)や注意欠陥・多動性障害(ADHD)などの神経発達症(NDD)のある若者にとって、課題となります。
- NDDは、実行機能と社会的コミュニケーションにおける困難につながり、自立への移行を複雑にする可能性があります。
- NDDのある若者の親は、介護負担の増加を経験することがよくありますが、介入にはめったに関与していません。
研究 の 目的:
- 神経発達症のある若者とその親のための更新されたセラピープログラム「Launching! to Adulthood」の実行可能性と受容可能性を評価すること。
- 成人への移行期における若者とその親双方の幸福感に対するプログラムの初期データを提供すること。
主な方法:
- 「Launching! to Adulthood」プログラムは、若者向けの週1回の動機づけ面接(MI)コーチングを組み込んだ10週間のエビデンスに基づいた介入です。
- 実行可能性、受容可能性、幸福感の測定値が、介入の前後に28人の参加者から収集されました。
主要な成果:
- プログラムは、参加者の満足度が高く、受け入れ可能で実行可能であると判断されました。
- 若者(n=12)は、うつ病の症状の大幅な軽減と生活の質の向上を示しました。
- 親(n=16)は、介護者の負担の大幅な減少を報告しました。
結論:
- 「Launching! to Adulthood」の統合アプローチは、若者向けの個別MIと家族向けのグループセッションを組み合わせることで、有望視されています。
- このプログラムは、神経発達症のある若者とその家族が成人への重要な移行を乗り越えるのを効果的に支援する可能性を秘めています。
