详细描述
Previous studies have highlighted the need to offer targeted effective interventions to strengthen the wellbeing of all family members in families with children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). Interventions for this target group requires development and research. A new family intervention, Dialogical Family Guidance (DFG) was tested in this study.
Fifty families of children with NDD were randomized into two intervention groups. Intervention group I were delivered DFG immediately, and Intervention group II were delivered DFG after three months. Family functionality, health and support (FAFHES), SDQ and the 5-15-questionnaire and DFG parent questionnaires were used to collect data at baseline, after three and six months. Fifty families were invited to the study. Thirty-four families completed the study. A comparison were made between Intervention group I and II.

结局指标
主要结局
The Family Function, Health and Social Support - scale (FAFHES)
时间窗: Baseline measure before DFG family intervention starts
The FAFHES questionnaire contains three sections; family functionality (19 items), family health (23 items), and family support provided by professionals (21 items). All the items are measured on a Likert scale ranging from 1-6 (I disagree totally, I disagree, I disagree somewhat, I agree somewhat, I agree, I agree totally). Family functionality, family health and family support were seen as poor if the median was 1.00-2.7, moderate if it was 2.8-4.5, and good if it was 4.6-6.0.45. Parent questionnaire. 1=I totally disagree.....6=I absolutely agree. Higher scores mean worse outcome.
The Family Function, Health and Social Support Scale (FAFHES)
时间窗: 6 months after baseline follow up. Change is being assessed.
