Résumé

Objectifs Cette revue de la portée visait à identifier et à évaluer les programmes de formation destinés au personnel des services d'urgence (ESP) qui soutiennent les personnes présentant des troubles du neurodéveloppement (NDD) lors de situations d'urgence, en mettant l'accent sur les composantes essentielles, les mesures des résultats et l'efficacité. Méthodes La revue a suivi les lignes directrices PRISMA-ScR. Cinq études évaluées par les pairs, publiées entre 2001 et 2023, répondaient aux critères d'inclusion. Les plans d'étude, les populations de participants, le contenu des formations et les mesures des résultats ont été répertoriés pour l'analyse. Résultats La plupart des études ciblaient les agents de police et portaient principalement sur le trouble du spectre de l'autisme. Les interventions de formation utilisaient généralement des plans quasi expérimentaux et associaient un enseignement didactique à des exercices facultatifs de jeux de rôle. Les cinq études ont toutes signalé une amélioration des connaissances, de la confiance ou des compétences du personnel des services d'urgence après la formation. Toutefois, les mesures des résultats et le contenu des formations étaient incohérents d'une étude à l'autre, ce qui indique l'absence d'approches standardisées. Conclusions Les programmes de formation semblent prometteurs pour améliorer les connaissances, les compétences et la confiance du personnel des services d'urgence afin de soutenir les personnes présentant des troubles du neurodéveloppement lors de situations d'urgence. Toutefois, l'incohérence du contenu des formations et des mesures des résultats entre les études souligne la nécessité d'élaborer des programmes de formation et des mesures des résultats standardisés afin de renforcer la base de données probantes et d'éclairer la pratique.

Objectives This scoping review aimed to identify and evaluate training programs for emergency service personnel (ESP) that support individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDD) during emergencies, focusing on core components, outcome measures, and effectiveness.Methods The review followed PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Five peer-reviewed studies published between 2001 and 2023 met inclusion criteria. Study designs, participant populations, training content, and outcome measures were charted for analysis.Results Most studies targeted police officers and primarily addressed autism spectrum disorder. Training interventions typically used quasi-experimental designs and combined didactic instruction with optional role-play exercises. All five studies reported improved ESP knowledge, confidence, or skills after training. However, outcome measures and training content were inconsistent across studies, indicating a lack of standardized approaches.Conclusions Training programs show promise in enhancing ESP knowledge, skills, and confidence in supporting individuals with NDD during emergencies. However, inconsistency in training content and outcome measures across studies highlights the need to develop standardized training curricula and outcome measures to strengthen the evidence base and inform practice.
