Plus
de 3,5 millions aux États-Unis sont diagnostiqués avec un trouble du
spectre de l'autisme (TSA) et les soignants éprouvent un stress qui
affecte négativement leur bien-être. L'intervention de la formation à la pensée positive (PTT) peut minimiser ce stress. Cependant, avant de tester l'efficacité de PTT, sa fidélité doit être établie. Cet
essai d'intervention pilote a examiné la fidélité d'une intervention
PTT en ligne pour les aidants naturels TSA avec une assignation
aléatoire de 73 soignants à l'intervention PTT en ligne et au groupe
témoin.
Les résultats fournissent des preuves de la fidélité à la mise en
œuvre de l'intervention PTT et appuient l'évolution de l'efficacité PTT
dans la promotion du bien-être des soignants.

Abstract
More
than 3.5 million in the US are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder
(ASD) and caregivers experience stress that adversely affects their
well-being. Positive thinking training (PTT) intervention can minimize
that stress. However, before testing the effectiveness of PTT, its
fidelity must be established. This pilot intervention trial examined
fidelity of an online PTT intervention for ASD caregivers with a random
assignment of 73 caregivers to either the online PTT intervention or to
the control group. Quantitative data [Positive Thinking Skills Scale
(PTSS)] and qualitative data (online weekly homework) were collected.
The mean scores for the PTSS improved for the intervention group and
decreased for the control group post intervention. Evidence for use of
PTT was found in caregivers' online weekly homework. The findings
provide evidence of the implementation fidelity of PTT intervention and
support moving forward to test PTT effectiveness in promoting
caregivers' well-being.
