Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
is a neurobiological developmental deficiency which manifests itself with
social interaction and communication disorder and repetitive behaviors and
concerns. The individual with ASD have some adverse effects on the family.
There are research results in the literature which report that the levels of
stress and depression in parents of children with ASD are high, their
perceptions of social support are low, and their family functioning is
impaired. This study aims to investigate the effect of the Psychoeducational
Group Family Education Program (PGFEP), developed by the researchers for
families of children diagnosed with ASD within 0-2 years, on parents' stress,
depression, social support perception, and family functions. The effect of the
PGFEP was examined with a pilot study before the main implementation. This
study was conducted with the pre-test post-test weak experimental design. Data
were analyzed by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. When the data were analyzed,
the PGFEP was observed to reduce the stress and depression levels of the
parents and increase the level of perceived social support in general. However,
it was observed that the program did not have a statistically significant
effect on the family functions of the parents of children with ASD.
