摘要： 孤独症谱系障碍（ASD）是一种较为严重的神经系统发育障碍性疾病，以社会互动缺陷、语言交流障碍、兴趣限制或重复刻板行为为主要表现，但目前该病尚不能根治，只能通过康复而改善症状。ASD儿童的主要照顾者是家长，长期繁重的照护压力严重影响照顾者的生活质量，为此国外提出了喘息服务的概念，以缓解照顾者照顾压力。本文结合喘息服务的模式及内容、ASD儿童家庭接受喘息服务的影响因素、喘息服务效果评价指标等分析了国外ASD儿童家庭喘息服务研究现状，强调ASD儿童家庭喘息服务应以家庭需求为导向，考虑家庭结构，融合家庭康复，提供个性化服务项目；同时分析了我国ASD儿童家庭机构性喘息服务现状，提出应以社会支持理论为依据，完善喘息服务政策及信息支持，加强喘息服务提供者队伍建设，通过多学科融合为ASD儿童提供涵盖教育、康复训练的综合性喘息服务，提高喘息服务质量。
