Objective: The impact of a comprehensive HIV education, housing support, and 12-step recovery program in a day treatment program for homeless persons infected with HIV was studied. Method: Participants' knowledge of HIV and substance abuse risk factors was assessed for a group of new clients and for a group of clients enrolled for 3 months using an author-developed questionnaire. Continuation of high-risk sexual and substance use behaviors was assessed using the approach. Success in maintaining housing and 12-step recovery was assessed using a retrospective chart review on a separate group of past participants. Results: Statistically significant positive changes in participants' knowledge of HIV and substance use and a decrease in self-reported high-risk behaviors were found. The retrospective chart review also indicated positive changes in housing stability and substance abuse recovery. Conclusions: Preliminary results support the conclusion that the day treatment program had positive effects on the three variables of concern.

Abstrak. Sikap penerimaan ibu merupakan faktor penting dalam pengasuhan terhadap anak dengan gangguan spektrum autis (GSA). Ibu yang memiliki penerimaan yang tinggi mampu mengembangkan pengasuhan yang positif dan anak mampu berkembang secara optimal. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui psikoedukasi Menjadi Ibu Hebat untuk menurunkan penolakan terhadap anak dengan GSA. Partisipan adalah tiga ibu yang memiliki anak dengan GSA. Pengumpulan data menggunakan parental acceptance-rejection scale (PARQ). Desain penelitian menggunakan quasi eksperimen one-group pretest-posttest. Analisis data dilakukan uji Friedman Test. Hasil uji statistik dengan uji Friedman Test menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara sebelum dan sesudah diberikan penanganan, q =1,000, nilai signifikansi 0,607 (p>0,05). Kata kunci: Psikoedukasi, Penolakan Orangtua, Gangguan Spektrum Autis (GSA) Abstract. Mother acceptance is an important factor in caring for children with autism. A mother that has a high acceptance is capable of developing a positive parenting skill and as a result the children are able to grow optimally. This research aimed to examine the psychoeducation to be a great mother to reduce the rejection towards children with autism. The participants were three mothers who have children with autism. Data collection used the parental acceptance-rejection scale (PARQ). The study design using the experimental quasi of one-group pretest-posttest. Data analysis was conducted through the Friedman Test. The result of statistical test with Friedman Test showed no significant difference between before and after the treatment, q = 1,000, and significance value 0,607 (p> 0.05).  Key words: Psychoeducation, rejection, parents, autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Before And After

This article reports our findings from a robot-assisted therapeutic study conducted over 49 days to investigate the sociopsychological and physiological effects in children with autism spectrum disorder using a parrot-inspired robot, KiliRo, that we developed to help in therapeutic settings. We investigated the frequency of participants’ interactions among each other and assessed any changes in interaction using social network analysis. Interactions were assessed through manual observation before and after exposure to the robot. Urinary and salivary tests were performed to obtain protein and α-amylase levels, respectively, to report the physiological changes in participating children with autism spectrum disorder before and after interacting with the robot. This is a pioneering human–robot interaction study to investigate changes in stress levels using salivary samples. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and arterial oxygen saturation level in blood were also monitored to investigate the physiological changes in participating children before, during, and after interacting with our parrot-inspired robot, KiliRo. The results show that the robot can help increase social interaction among children with autism spectrum disorder and assist in learning tasks. Furthermore, the clinical biochemistry test report using urinary and salivary samples indicates that the stress levels of children with autism reduced notably after interacting with the robot. Nevertheless, blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen levels in blood did not show positive change in all participants.

Background/aims Communication problems are a core feature of autism spectrum disorder. These problems usually lead to challenges in social interactions. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the Son-Rise Programme on improving social interaction and communication in children with autism spectrum disorder. Methods Thirty children with autism spectrum disorder (aged 4–6) were involved in this study. The children were assigned randomly to one two groups, either the 1-week intensive Son-Rise Programme or the control group. They were evaluated using the Gilliam Autism Rating Scale before and after the study. Results The participants in the group of the Son-Rise Programme showed a significant improvement in their social interaction skills compared to the control group (P=0.001). Conclusions The Son-Rise Programme could improve social interaction in children with autism spectrum disorder.
