Filter by:Aims of the study. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the ChildTalks+ intervention and to implement it in education and practice. By delivering the ChildTalks+ intervention, i.e. educating parents about the transgenerational transmission of the disorder, informing them about the impact on their children, strengthening their parenting competencies, supporting communication within the family and informing COPMI about their parents' mental disorder, listening to their needs and providing emotional and social support to the family, the investigators expect the following outcomes: improved family communication, including children's awareness of their parents' mental health problems, improved overall well-being of COPMI, heightened perceptions of parental competence, increased family protective factors, including strengthened social support, sustained over time. Part of the intervention consists of early identification of social-emotional problems in children and referral for further professional help. The research questions the investigators will focus on are: - What are the effects of the ChildTalks+ intervention in families where parents have a mental health disorder? - Is the ChildTalks+ intervention feasible for therapists who treat patients with mental disorder? - Is the ChildTalks+ intervention feasible in families where one parent has an eating disorder? - Should the ChildTalks+ intervention be modified for this group of families where parent has an eating disorders?
This is a study protocol of a randomized controlled trial, which aims to validate the effectiveness of the ODISEA 2.0 Video-feedback intervention compared to a non-intervention group. While this methodology can be used with caregivers of children from 0 to 8 years, in this first study the sample will be caregivers and children from 10 to 47 months. The data collection will be through a pre post evaluation using the parenting skills questionnaire (E2P V2), parental stress index - short form (PSI-SF), and assessment of interaction videos with the Adult Sensitivity Scale (E.S.A) and PICCOLO methodology. Additionally, caregivers will be screened for ACES and with a sociodemographic characterization questionnaire. The primary outcome aims to measure the effectiveness of the intervention within the parenting skills of the caregivers. The secondary outcomes will be to assess parental self-efficacy, parenting stress, parenting practices, parental sensitivity, and implementation fidelity compared to accumulated risk.
Children with, or at elevated risk for, brain-based developmental disabilities can experience lifelong consequences and challenges throughout their development. In particular, preschool years (3-6 years of age) can be stressful as families wait to get services and care for their child. Nationally and internationally, service delivery models during this critical period are not standardized, and differ within and across provinces and across patient conditions, leading to long wait times, service gaps and duplications. This study has two main hypotheses: 1. A standardized approach to "coaching" (i.e. coach + online education tools + peer support network) is feasible in the real-life context, and acceptable to caregivers and can be delivered across multiple sites in urban/suburban/rural settings. 2. A standardized approach to "coaching" enhances parental health (parents' empowerment and sense of competence, quality of life, and minimizes parenting stress), family health care experience (care coordination experience and process of care) at similar health care cost (economic analysis), when compared to usual and locally available care.
Pilot design: The feasibility pilot of PLH for Young Children in Thailand has a single-site, pre-post design with no control group, with the aims of assessing programme implementation, cultural and contextual relevance, and study feasibility. Although there is no comparison group and it is not designed to test effects, the pilot also has a provisional goal of reductions in child physical and emotional abuse at one-month post-intervention. RCT design: The RCT of PLH for Young Children Thailand is a randomized, controlled, observer-blinded, single-site trial with two parallel groups and a primary endpoint goal of reductions in child physical and emotional abuse at one month and three-months post-intervention. Randomisation will be performed at the individual level with a 1:1 allocation ratio. Allocation: Using a 1:1 allocation ratio, the 120 participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group using the concealed computerized programme Sealed Envelope. An external researcher based at the Department of Social Policy and Intervention at the University of Oxford, and who is not directly involved in the study, will generate the random sequence. The Project Coordinator and Co-Investigator McCoy will notify participants of their allocation status via telephone following the collection of baseline data, in order to ensure that participants remain blind to their status during the initial assessment. Blinding: Due to the involvement of facilitators and coaches in the delivery of the programme, blinding will not be possible for deliverers; moreover, participants cannot be blinded to their allocation status following the initial assessment. However, the allocation status of other participants will be kept concealed from participants in order to reduce the risk of contamination. Data collectors gathering outcome and process evaluation data, as well as statisticians providing support in data analysis, will be blinded to participant allocation status for the purposes of minimizing assessment bias. Cases of compromised blinding will be immediately reported to the Research Manager, who will consult with the research team on an appropriate course of action. Un-blinding of participants will only be permitted if any instances of significant harm due to participation in the study are reported by a participant or any member of the project team at any stage of the study. This study is funded by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Thailand and the Department of Social Policy and Intervention, University of Oxford. UNICEF grant reference: PCA/THLC/2017/002
This is a Stage III community-based randomized clinical efficacy trial testing Mothering from the Inside Out (MIO), the first evidence-based parenting intervention designed to be delivered by addiction counselors in addiction treatment settings where parents of young children are enrolled in treatment.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is characterized by a pervasive pattern of instability of interpersonal relationships, self-image and emotions as well as marked impulsivity. When patients have children, they are at high risk of severe emotional and relational disturbances (withdrawal, low self-esteem, depression, suicidal thoughts). In addition, studies support the effectiveness of parental guidance group to reduce emotional and behavioral difficulties of children. To our knowledge there are no programs directed to mothers with BPD who received a controlled evaluation. From experience with parental guidance, data from the observation of children of patients with BPD and psychosocial programs directed to patients BPD, we have built for preventive intervention. The Supportive Program for Mothers with BPD (SuPMother-B) consists of 10 group sessions providing information (education, childcare, care specific to BPD) and promotes mother-child interactions (observation, games). Purpose: Compare the effect of a program (SuPMother-B) group, of 10 sessions, offered to mothers with a BPD in addition to a minimal intervention (diagnostic announcement and provision of health care resources) on behavior withdrawal of children at 6 months compared to a group of mothers receiving only minimal intervention. Primary outcome: Difference at 6 months between the experimental and control groups on scores on the assessment scale withdrawal (Alarm Distress Baby (ADBB)).
The hypothesis of the study is that the intervention leads to a reduction in foster children's externalizing problems and foster parents' parenting stress and that this in turn leads to a reduction in the number of breakdowns of foster placements.
