Main description
Il Disturbo dello Spettro Autistico (DSA) viene definito come sindrome comportamentale causata da una condizione del neurosviluppo biologicamente determinato. Interessa prevalentemente le aree relative all'interazione sociale reciproca, all'abilit� di comunicare idee e sentimenti e alla capacit� di stabilire relazioni con gli altri. Il DSA � riconosciuto come un urgente problema di salute pubblica e bambini, adolescenti e adulti con DSA spesso presentano nella loro vita una serie di comorbilit� mediche o comportamentali che possono essere motivo di accesso al Pronto Soccorso (PS) o di ricovero ospedaliero. � stata condotta una revisione narrativa della letteratura, con un'analisi metanarrativa degli articoli selezionati. Gli studi inclusi nella revisione sono stati ottenuti mediante l'utilizzo di stringhe di ricerca nelle banche dati PubMed, CINAHL, e PsycInfo e mediante ricerca libera su Google Scholar: sono stati individuati 684 articoli sottoposti al processo di selezione e, dopo un esame critico, sono stati scelti 7 articoli. Dall'analisi degli studi inclusi emergono interventi e strategie utili alla gestione dei comportamenti distruttivi dei bambini con DSA quali: interventi riferiti alla comunicazione recettiva ed espressiva; interventi riferiti agli stimoli sensoriali e della routine ospedaliera; strategie di inclusione dei caregiver nel processo di cura del paziente con DSA; interventi di formazione degli infermieri coinvolti. Tali interventi si sono dimostrati efficaci nella creazione di piani di cura personalizzati e nel miglioramento dell'esperienza ospedaliera. L'attuazione degli interventi proposti permette all'infermiere di creare un piano di cura personalizzato e permette al bambino con DSA e ai familiari di vivere un'esperienza ospedaliera positiva.
