摘要目的：本研究的目的是从家长和教师的角度，概念化的好处和局限性，使用降噪耳机自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的儿童参与家庭，社区和学校环境。方法：采用扎根理论方法指导数据收集和分析。10名6-12岁ASD和听觉过敏儿童的父母和5名教师完成了录音访谈。在分析之前，访谈由两个或更多的研究人员转录和交叉检查。在开放和轴向编码期间使用常数比较，然后进行理论积分。结果：参与者发现，使用降噪耳机增加了在家庭，社区和学校环境中的参与。针对环绕式和入耳式耳机确定了障碍和益处。使用前准备是一种确定的策略，可以减少障碍并增加耳机的使用。此外，许多孩子学会了预测他们何时需要耳机并要求使用耳机。结论：研究结果确定了父母和教师对使用降噪耳机的支持，以增加ASD儿童在自然环境中的参与，以及促进实践物理和职业治疗师使用的建议。
Abstract Aim: The purpose of this study was to conceptualize the benefits and limitations of using noise-attenuating headphones for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) on participation in home, community, and school environments from the perspective of parents and teachers. Methods: Grounded theory methodology was used to guide data collection and analysis. Ten parents and five teachers of children with ASD and auditory hypersensitivity aged 6–12 completed recorded interviews. Interviews were transcribed and crosschecked prior to analysis by two or more researchers. Constant comparison was used during open and axial coding followed by theoretical integration. Results: Participants identified that the use of noise-attenuating headphones increased participation in home, community, and school settings. Barriers and benefits were identified for both around-ear and in-ear headphones. Preparation for use was an identified strategy that reduced the barriers and increased use of the headphones. Additionally, many of the children learned to predict when they needed the headphones and requested their use. Conclusion: Results of the study identified parental and teacher support for the use of noise-attenuating headphones to increase participation in natural environments for children with ASD, as well as suggestions to facilitate use for practicing physical and occupational therapists.
