abstract = {Background: Parents' use of complementary health approaches (CHA) for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are common despite the uncertain evidence of its benefit. Parents often adopt CHA due to dissatisfaction with conventional treatment. This study aimed to examine parents' satisfaction with ASD treatment and their perception of progress in their child's development. Parents' use of CHA among children with ASD and the factors related were also evaluated. Methods: Self-administered questionnaires were completed by 48 parents of children with ASD at a single tertiary referral hospital in Malaysia. Correlation analysis was used to explore associations between parental satisfaction scores, perception of progress scores and use of CHA. Results: Use of CHA was reported by parents for 35.4% of children with ASD in the sample. Parents who were less satisfied with conventional treatment and parents who perceived poorer progress in their child's development were more likely to use CHA. Strong positive relationship was found between parent satisfaction with ASD treatment scores and parent perception of progress scores, which indicates that parents who were satisfied with treatment were more likely to perceive greater progress in their child's development. Improvement in child's progress was most appreciated by parents in their child's behavior (85.5%), social skills (83.3%) and motor skills (77.1%). Conclusion: The use of CHA was common among children with ASD. Parents were more likely to practice CHA when they were less satisfied with conventional treatment and perceived poorer progress. A larger multicenter study is required to further explore the practice of CHA among children with ASD throughout Malaysia. © 2019 The Author(s).},

abstract = {Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) may affect all spheres of a child's life. One of the areas of the behavioral spectrum need to be focused is affected. Thus, the study is enthused in impaired emotional regulation (ER) affecting children with ASD. The significance of ER is related to that promoting adaptive behavior in children; indeed, disturbed ER in ASD children leads to emotional and behavioral problems. Commonly children with ASD lack adaptive ER strategies thus they react impulsively and inadequately to emotional stimuli thus it affects their psychological well-being. Though ER in ASD children is intrinsic the nurturing of these children with an understanding of ER can promote better psychological wellbeing. Thus, study objectives to examine a) the impact of ASD on their ER b) the impact of ER on the psychological wellbeing of children with ASD c) To develop awareness among these parents regarding the impact of ER on the psychological wellbeing of their ASD child. d) To propose a new model of parental education about ER and its significance on psychological wellbeing of ASD children. This study takes a base on the keenly examined past evidence on impaired ER in ASD children and its impact on the psychological wellbeing. Proposal for aiding ER through parental education has introduced. The conclusion drawn in this study is that the intervention can be more promising with educating parents regarding ER, may help their child to gain maximum from therapeutic intervention. The new proposed model of intervention extends the further scope for research in this regard. © 2009-2017, JGPT.},
