摘要:

目的：研究孤独症患儿家长的心理健康状态。方法：采用症状自评量表(SCL-90)对34名孤独症儿童和35名健康儿童的父母亲进行评分。结果：孤独症儿童父母亲SCL-90总分分别为162.5±34.0，175.1±51.0，均高于正常儿童的父母亲(分别为142.4±82.8，152.3±40.6；P<0.05)。孤独症儿童的父亲在强迫症状、忧郁、焦虑、偏执等4个因子上的分数高于健康儿童的父亲（P<0.05）；孤独症儿童的母亲在强迫症状、人际关系敏感、忧郁、焦虑、偏执、敌对性、精神病性和睡眠/饮食等8个因子的分数较正常儿童的母亲高（P<0.05）；在人际关系敏感、焦虑、精神病性症状因子上，孤独症儿童的母亲得分较父亲高（P<0.05）。结论：在对孤独症儿童给与关爱和治疗的同时，也要关注孤独症儿童父母的心理健康。［中国当代儿科杂志，2010，12(12)：947-949］

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To study the mental health state of parents of children with autism. METHODS: The mental health state was evaluated by conducting the Symptom Checklist (SCL-90) on parents of 34 children with autism and of 35 healthy children. RESULTS: The SCL-90 total scores in the fathers (162.5±34.0) and mothers of autistic children (175.1±51.0) were significantly higher than those in healthy children's parents (142.4±42.8 and 152.3±40.6, respectively) (P<0.05). The SCL-90 scores of obsessive-compulsive symptoms, depression, anxiety and paranoia in the fathers of autistic children were significantly higher than those in the fathers of healthy children (P<0.05). The SCL-90 scores of obsessive-compulsive symptoms, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, paranoia, psychotic symptoms, hostility and sleep/diet were significantly higher in the mothers of autistic children than those in the mothers of healthy children (P<0.05). The mothers of autistic children presented higher SCL-90 factor scores in interpersonal sensitivity, anxiety and psychotic symptoms than the fathers (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: We should pay more attention to the mental health of parents of autistic children.［Chin J Contemp Pediatr, 2010, 12 (12):947-949］
