Abstract

Opservacijski protokol za dijagnostiku autizma (ADOS-2) smatra se zlatnim standardom u dijagnostici poremećaja iz spektra autizma (PSA), a razvijen je na području Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva i Sjedinjenih Američkih Drţava. Iako Republika Hrvatska zajedno s navedenim zemljama pripada zapadnoj kulturi, svejedno postoje odreĎene kulturološke razlike u socijalnoj komunikaciji izmeĎu stanovnika ovih zemalja. Budući da se simptomi PSA-a razlikuju s obzirom na brojne faktore, uključujući i kulturološka obiljeţja, cilj ovog istraţivanja bio je ispitati primjerenost materijala ADOS-2 protokola (Modula 4) za primjenu kod hrvatskih adolescenata radi uvida u kulturalnu prilagoĎenost navedenog instrumenta. Ispitivanjem je obuhvaćeno 30 adolescenata (15 ţenskih i 15 muških) urednog razvojnog profila u dobi od 16 do 18 godina. Podaci su prikupljeni upitnikom kreiranim za potrebe ovog istraţivanja. Rezultati su pokazali da hrvatski adolescenti većinu materijala (76,5%) smatraju u potpunosti primjerenim dobi. Aktivnosti podučavanja ispitivača kako da pere zube, opisivanje slike Hrvatske, slaganje puzzli i prepričavanje slikovnice ispitanici nisu ocijenili u potpunosti primjerenim. Nadalje, ispitanici smatraju kako su pitanja iz intervjua dobi primjereniji i ugodniji materijal od aktivnosti. Rezultati dobiveni ovim istraţivanjem upućuju na vaţnost prilagodbe materijala kulturi u kojoj se mjerni instrument primjenjuje budući da kulturološki neprilagoĎen materijal utječe na ispravnost dijagnoze PSA-a.

Abstract (english)

Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2) is considered a gold standard in the diagnostics of Autism Spectrum Disorder (PSA). It is developed in the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Although Croatia, along with the mentioned countries, belongs to Western culture, there are still some cultural differences in social communication between the inhabitants of these countries. Since the PSA symptoms differ in terms of numerous factors, including cultural features, the aim of this study was to examine the material appropriateness of the ADOS-2 (Module 4) on Croatian adolescents in order to gain insight into the cultural suitability of the instrument. The sample consists of 30 adolescents (15 female and 15 male) of a normal developmental profile, aged 16 to 18. The data were collected by questionnaire created for the purpose of this research. The results showed that Croatian adolescents consider most of the materials (76.5%) entirely appropriate to their age. The activities of teaching the examiner how to brush their teeth, describe a picture of Croatia, combine puzzles, and paraphrase the picture book were not evaluated as entirely appropriate by the respondents. Furthermore, respondents considered interview questions more appropriate and enjoyable material than activities. The results of this research point to the importance of adapting the material according to the culture in which the measuring instrument is applied since culturally inadequate material affects the correctness of PSA diagnosis.
