Tiivistelmä
Asperger syndrome (AS) is a developmental disorder characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests.
The purpose of writing this thesis is to explore more about the challenges facing children with Asperger’s syndrome and the challenges their parents encounter while giving caring to them. Additionally, the aim of this thesis is to determine the nurse’s role in caring for children with Asperger’s syndrome and the nurse’s support for the parents caring for children with Asperger’s syndrome.
A literature review study method was used to articulate knowledge to nurses regarding the importance of giving care to children with Asperger’s and support their parents as they give care to their children with Aspersers syndrome. Data was acquired from different databases such as, Science Direct, SAGE publications, Emerald, EBSCO and PubMed. 8 articles were selected, as they met the criteria employed by the research findings. The results of this literature review provide critical information to clinical professionals useful in developing appropriate interventions to enhance patient care decisions.
