Abstract:
Objective To observe the efficacy of Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) on children with autism applied in rehabilitation nursing care. Methods 40 children with autism were divided randomly into two groups. The control group (n=20) received routine nursing care, and the observation group (n=20) received rehabilitation nursing care based on PECS for 6 months. They were assessed with Psycho-Education Profile (PEP-3) before and after training. Results The scores of PEP-3 improved obviously in all the children (P<0.05) after training, and the score of communication and behaviour improved more in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion PECS applied in rehabilitation nursing care can improve the sociality and speech for children with autism.
