正念疗法越来越受欢迎。然而，他们在减少心理困扰和提高自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）家庭幸福感方面的有效性的证据是有限的。一项系统性检索确定了10项独立研究，涉及233名ASD儿童和成人以及241名照顾者的合并样本。使用随机效应模型计算对冲效应量及其相关的95%置信区间，以及异质性。接受正念的照顾者、儿童和成人都报告说，在干预后立即获得了主观幸福感的显著提高。现有数据表明，干预效果在3个月随访时得到维持。正念在ASD人群中提出了一种有希望的干预策略，但需要更多的对照研究来确定其对受影响家庭和亚组的确切疗效。
Mindfulness-based therapies are rising in popularity. However, evidence for their effectiveness in reducing psychological distress and enhancing wellbeing for families living with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is limited. A systematic search identified 10 independent studies, involving a pooled sample of 233 children and adults with ASD and 241 caregivers. Hedges' g effect sizes with associated 95% confidence intervals, in addition to heterogeneity, were calculated using a random-effects model. Caregivers, children and adults who received mindfulness all reported significant gains in subjective wellbeing immediately post-intervention. Available data indicated intervention effects were maintained at 3-month follow-up. Mindfulness presents a promising intervention strategy in ASD populations, however more controlled research is required to determine its precise efficacy for affected families and subgroups.
