Clinical Trial Summary

The proposed study is a pre-post intervention study to investigate the acceptability and feasibility of a mindfulness based program for people with intellectual disabilities and their caregivers in a low income setting in Pakistan.


Description:

In Pakistan, prevalence of intellectual disability is 19.1/1000 severe intellectual disability and 65/1000 for mild level of intellectual disability. Disability not only affects the individual but also the family in general and caretaker specifically.

Several researches proved that parents of children with disabilities experience number of problems related to parenting stress. There is a dire need to develop feasible, cost-effective, community level interventions, that would augment existing healthcare systems.

Mindfulness as a relatively new therapeutic strategy, has not been practiced as far as individuals with intellectual disability are concerned. This study aims to explore the feasibility and acceptability of mindfulness-based strategies for individuals with intellectual disability and their care takers in improving their well-being. A sample of 12 participants will be recruited from rehabilitation centers. The study will be conducted in Karachi. The group intervention will consist of twelve sessions; approx. 90-minutes per session weekly. therapy logswill be used to measure feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and the full Psychological Therapies Outcome Scale - intellectual disabilities (PTOS)-ID (psychological distress and positive well-being scales) will be used as secondary outcome measure. In addition, the positive well-being section of the PTOS-ID will also be administered at session 3 and 6 as an interim measure of well-being.

Baseline assessment will be done following the consent. Post assessments will be conducted at the end of intervention (at 3 months).
