VR眼动追踪对孤独症患儿的干预效果

The effect of VR eye tracking technology in children with autism

目的分析虚拟现实(VR)眼动追踪技术对孤独症患儿行为发育的影响。方法选择符合纳入标准的62例(2022年1月~2022年12月)孤独症患儿作为研究对象,按照随机数字表法分为观察组和对照组各31例。对照组采用常规干预方法,观察组在对照组基础上使用VR眼动追踪技术进行干预。分别在于预前和干预6个月后,使用孤独症治疗评估量表(ATEC)判断患儿症状变化情况;使用发育水平及简式育儿压力问卷(PSI-SF)评定患儿的发育水平及家属育儿压力;使用儿童孤独症评定量表(CARS)评定患儿症状。结果干预6个月后,2组患儿语言/沟通、社会交往、感觉/认知、健康行为评分均低于干预前(P<0.05);且观察组各项评分低于对照组(P<0.05)。干预6个月后,2组育儿愁苦、亲子互动失调、困难儿童及总分低于干预前(P<0.05),且观察组各项评分低于对照组(P<0.05)。干预6个月后,2组患儿自闭症儿童心理教育评估量表(PEP-3)评分高于干预前(P<0.05),CARS评分低于干预前(P<0.05)。结论VR眼动追踪技术用于孤独症能激发患儿的兴趣,促进人格发育,改善孤独症行为,减轻家属育儿压力,提高社会交流的自信心。

Objective To analyze the impact of virtual reality(VR)eye tracking technology on behavioral development in children with autism.Methods 62 children with autism who met the inclusion criteria(January 2022 to December 2022)were selected as the study subjects,and were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group with 31 cases each.The control group used conventional intervention methods,while the observation group used VR eye tracking technology for intervention on the basis of the control group.Use the Autism Treatment Evaluation Scale(ATEC)to assess the changes in symptoms of children before and after 6 months of intervention,respectively;Use the Development Level and Simplified Parenting Stress Questionnaire(PSI-SF)to assess the developmental level of the child and the parenting pressure of their family members;Use the Children's Autism Rating Scale(CARS)to assess the symptoms of the child.Results After 6 months of intervention,the language/communication,social interaction,sensation/cognition,and health behavior scores of the two groups of children were lower than those before the intervention(P<0.05).And the scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group(P<0.05).After 6months of intervention,the two groups had lower scores of parenting distress,dysfunctional parent-child interaction,difficult children,and total scores than before intervention(P<0.05),and the observation group had lower scores than the control group(P<0.05).After 6 months of intervention,the scores of the two groups of children with autism on the Psychological Education Assessment Scale(PEP-3)were higher than before the intervention(P<0.05),and the CARS score was lower than before the intervention(P<0.05).Conclusion VR eye tracking technology used for autism can stimulate children's interest,promote personality development,improve autism behavior,reduce parenting pressure on family members,and increase confidence in social communication.
