| Objective: To analyze the difference in efficacy between sandplay combined intervention and simple comprehensive intervention in the treatment of autism in children, and to explore its applied value in children with autism. Methods: Eighty six children with autism were enrolled and randomly divided into observation group (44 cases) and control group (42 cases). The observation group was treated with sandplay combined with comprehensive intervention, and the control group was treated with simple comprehensive intervention. Before, and 3 and 6 months after treatment, the Autism Child Behavior Scale (ABC) score, the Autism Treatment Assessment Scale (ATEC) score, and the Child Autism and Related Developmental Disorders Psychological Education Rating Scale (C PEP) scores were evaluated. Results: The total scores of ABC and ATEC in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group at 3rd and 6th month (P<0.05), and the function dimensional scores and total scores of C PEP in the observation group were significantly higher than in the control group (P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between the age and the treatment effect in the observation group (r=-0.524, P<0.001). Conclusion: The combination of sandplay and comprehensive intervention is better than simple comprehensive intervention in children with autism, and its therapeutic effect is negatively correlated with age. This has certain clinical application value for the treatment of autism in children. |
