孤独症患儿症状与父母人格特征的相关性研究

目的 研究孤独症(autism)患儿症状与父母人格特征的相关性。方法 对符合DSM-Ⅳ诊断标准的孤独症患儿250例采用社会沟通量表(Social Communication Questionnaire,SCQ)对孤独症患儿症状进行评定,采用艾森克人格问卷(Eysenk Personality Questionnaire,EPQ)对患儿父母的人格特征进行评定。结果 1)学龄前患儿与学龄期患儿的SCQ量表各维度评分比较差异均无统计学意义;但学龄期患儿父亲比学龄前患儿父亲个性更不稳定,差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05);2)对不同性别患儿进行比较,女性患儿相较男性患儿重复刻板症状评分更高,并且女性患儿母亲个性更不稳定,差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05);3)以SCQ高分界值(22分)对患儿分组,发现两组患儿父母各人格维度评分差异无统计学意义;4)孤独症患儿的SCQ各维度得分与父亲、母亲EPQ各维度得分之间无明显相关性。结论 女性孤独症患儿刻板重复症状更为严重;父母不稳定的人格特性与患儿年龄、性别有关;孤独症患儿症状与父母人格特征可能不通过直接作用相互影响。

Objective To investigate the correlation between symptoms of autism patients and the personality of their parents. Method A total of 250 autism patients completed Social Communication Questionnaire,parents of autism patients completed Eysenk Personality Questionnaire. Results 1) There were no significant differences between preschool group and school-age group in dimensions of SCQ scale scores;but the difference of stability of father personality was statistically significant (P＜0.05) between father of school-age group and preschool children.2)Compared to male autism children,female autism children had higher repetitive and stereotyped behavior scores,and the personality of female autism children's mother was more unstable(P＜0.05).3) Two groups were divided according to SCQ high boundary values (22 points).There were no significant differences in dimensions score of parents' personality between the two groups.4)There's no correlation between dimensions of autism children's SCQ scale scores and dimensions score of their parents' personalities. Conclusions The repetitive and stereotyped symptoms of female autism patients are more serious.Parental unstable personality traits are associated with the age and gender of their children.Autism symptoms and parental personality traits may not interact through direct effect.
