Healthcare Providers’ Experiences with Autism: A Scoping Review

Auteurs: Rae Morris, Andrea Greenblatt, Michael Saini

Gepubliceerd in: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders | Uitgave 6/2019

Abstract

Gaps in research knowledge exist regarding patient-provider interactions with individuals with autism in healthcare settings. To address this, a scoping review was conducted focusing on the experiences of healthcare professionals working with individuals with autism. A systematic search and screen of the literature resulted in 27 relevant studies. Six key themes were found across these 27 studies including (1) complexity beyond usual role, (2) limited knowledge and resources, (3) training/prior experience, (4) communication and collaboration, (5) need for information and training, and (6) need for care coordination and systemic changes. The results of this review have implications for future research and practice and should be considered when reflecting on opportunities to enhance research and service provision with individuals with autism.
