Filter by:In our study, "Does the early childhood intervention applied to grandparents as caregivers affect the child's growth, development (cognitive and socio-emotional development), and nutrition? Does early childhood intervention apply to grandparents as caregivers have an impact on caregiving characteristics, grandparent's health, attachment, parenting role, psychosocial well-being, role satisfaction, and communication with the child? Is early childhood intervention applied to grandparents as caregivers effective in creating a common language between grandparents and mothers on child care issues?" the answers to these questions will be tried to be answered. This randomized controlled study will be conducted between July 2023 and July 2024 with children aged 0-4 years and their parents/grandparents using a mixed methodology. Children between the ages of 0-4 will be included in the study group, and those who are only cared for by their grandparents will be included in the study group, and cared for by their parents will be included in the control group. The study will consist of 2 stages. The first phase will be conducted with a pilot study group to establish the training program. After the 5-session program is administered, a qualitative analysis will be made and the program will be finalized according to the feedback. In the second stage of the study, a pre-test will be done through questionnaires, and then a training program will be applied to the group with grandparents as caregivers. The post-test will be applied to each group 6-8 weeks after the 5-group session ends. Pre-test and post-tests will be created in the online Google survey format. Pre-tests will only be applied to grandparents and mothers. Post-tests will be carried out at 4 practice times (after 6-8 weeks, 6th, 9th, and 12th months after the end of the intervention) determined for the evaluation of both parental and childhood outcomes. The second qualitative analysis will be made in a group format with the grandparents who applied for the program and the mothers (parents) of those children. For the qualitative analysis, the pre-created semi-structured interview format will be used after obtaining the consent of the participants, and if they give their consent, a voice recording will be taken. Fathers will also be informed and encouraged to participate and will be included in the qualitative phase of the study if they give consent for participation.
Over 7 million children in the U.S. receive support for a developmental delay or disability (DD). For caregivers of these children, behavior issues that often accompany their child's condition create high levels of stress leading to increased mental and physical health issues and impacts on caregiver-child interactions and family functioning. Although evidence-based practices exist to help caregivers with their child's behavioral development, access to these services is often limited by rigid delivery models requiring in-person visits that can delay support and further increase the burden on families. These barriers are disproportionately higher for families of color and for those in low resource situations: an effect that has been exacerbated by reductions in services due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The overall objective of this project is to develop and implement a telehealth delivery model of rapid-response, evidence-based behavioral support to be provided in conjunction with an existing family navigation program (Undivided) serving parents of children with DD to create a commercially marketable product that will reduce barriers to services in local communities across the country. This project will test the feasibility and acceptability of the Family Advice Text and Telephone (FASTT) support service for caregivers of young children. This Phase 1 application will enable a collaborative process to adapt evidence-based behavioral support to the specific needs of families of children ages birth to 12 with DD and integrate that support within the existing family navigation service. The rationale for the work is that providing effective, personalized support through the widely accessible mediums of text and telephone will get caregivers the help they need when and where they have time to access it and close in time to the behavioral issues they need help with, thus reducing caregiver stress and increasing their sense of competence and positive interactions with their child. Aim 1 determines the feasibility of delivering evidence-based behavioral support to caregivers of children with disabilities using on-demand text messaging. Aim 2 gauges the acceptability of the text-based support service to caregivers. Aim 3 assesses the extent to which text-based support reduces caregiver stress, improves caregiver sense of competence, and builds more positive perceptions of their child's behavior and their relationship with their child.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of a music enrichment program on the quality of parent child interactions, a child's motivation to eat, and a child's language environment in 9 to 24 month-old children from low-income families. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does participation in a music enrichment program improve the quality of parent-child interactions? 2. Does participation in a music enrichment program reduce motivation for food 3. Does participation in a music enrichment program improve the quality of the language environment? Participants will: 1. Be randomly assigned to participate in either 2, 8-week semesters of weekly music enrichment classes or play group sessions. 2. At the beginning, after the first 8 weeks and after the second 8 weeks, a researcher will come to the participants house and parent-child pairs will: 1. be video recorded during 10 minutes of playtime and meal time. 2. fill out questionnaires 3. wear a small wearable language recorder for 16 hours 3. At the beginning, after the first 8 weeks and after the second 8 weeks, the parent and child will come to the baby lab and will: 1. Play a computer game to test motivation for food 2. have height and weight measurements collected Researchers will compare the music and play groups to see if there is a difference in the quality of parent child interaction, food motivation or language environment.
The goal is to expand a parent-mediated intervention for feeding challenges in children with autism with an Australian cohort, building on recent research and current successful models already being used. A parent-mediated intervention would primarily occur in the home environment, working with the parent to establish goals and implement the intervention based on their child's specific needs.
Growing evidence demonstrates that secure attachment in childhood predicts children's healthy social, biological, and behavioral functioning, whereas insecure attachment predicts behavior problems and physiological dysregulation; thus, efforts to foster secure attachment are crucial for promoting the healthy development of children and families. This proposal describes a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of an innovative intervention program that can be widely implemented designed to foster children's secure attachment, promote healthy physiological regulation, and reduce the risk for behavior problems: The Circle of Security ® Parenting (COS-P) intervention. To this end, investigators will conduct an RCT with 249 parent-child dyads enrolled or are eligible but not yet enrolled in two diverse Early Head Start (EHS) programs.
Parental presence during induction for young infants is still debated. There is a paucity of information on the real-world interaction between parents, infant and the anesthesia team. Aim To investigate parents' anxiety, need of information and experiences during induction of their infant, as well as staff communication and experiences, using quantitative and qualitative methods. Methods Randomized controlled trial of parent´s experiences of participating in their infant´s anesthesia induction. Parents will be randomized to being present in the operating room until the infant is asleep due to anesthesia induction (intervention group), or leaving their child to the anesthesia team in the OR holding area (control group).
The primary objective of this pilot intervention study is to build upon the Connecting and Reflecting Experience (CARE) clinical trial [Clinical Trials Number: NCT04580459] and evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary outcomes of CARE when implemented via tele-health among caregivers of transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) youth (TGNB-CARE). The main questions it aims to answer are: - To determine the feasibility and acceptability of the CARE treatment adaptation for caregivers of TGNB youth following the 12-session, mentalizing-focused, group parenting intervention. The study team hypothesizes that the adaptation and implementation of the CARE intervention will be found to be feasible and acceptable for study participants. - To assess whether self-reported parenting stress and stressors, parental acceptance, parental reflective functioning, parent positive feelings, and perceived interpersonal support improve among study participants following the 12-session, mentalizing-focused, group parenting intervention. The study team hypothesizes that the CARE treatment group adaptation will show improvements across these outcomes. Caregivers will be asked to complete surveys at baseline (T0), following their first session (T1), and at post-intervention (T2). A feedback interview will also be completed at T2.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the online modality of the Make the Connection (MTC) program in a community-based sample of parents not at-risk for parenting difficulties. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the MTC online program result in improvements in parent-child bond, parent self-efficacy, parental stress, and parental depression among parents who are not at-risk for parent-child relationship difficulties? - What are some of the barriers, facilitators, perceived benefits and risks to participating in the MTC online program from the perspective of parents? Participants will be asked to complete a pre-intervention questionnaire, will be invited to complete the 8-week MTC online program consisting of a weekly 15-minute module, and will lastly be asked to complete a post-intervention questionnaire.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the online modality of the Make the Connection (MTC) program in caregivers of infants and young children. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the MTC online program result in changes in the child-caregiver relationship, caregiver self-competence, caregiver stress, caregiver depression, as well as caregiver and child emotion regulation, as compared to a waitlist control? - Are caregivers who experience psychosocial risks (e.g., elevated depression scores, social isolation) deriving similar benefits in the child-caregiver relationship, caregiver self-competence, caregiver stress, caregiver depression, as well as caregiver and child emotion regulation as caregivers who are not? - What are some of the barriers, facilitators, perceived benefits, and risks to participating in the MTC online program from the perspective of caregivers? Participants will be randomly placed into either the intervention group or the waitlist control group. Both groups will be asked to complete a pre-intervention questionnaire, the intervention group will be invited to complete the 8-week MTC online program consisting of a weekly 15-minute module, and both groups will lastly be asked to complete a post-intervention questionnaire. Researchers will compare the intervention group and the waitlist control group to see if the MTC online program results in improved caregiver-child bond, caregiver self-efficacy, caregiver stress, and caregiver depression.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of an LGBTQ-affirmative individual cognitive behavioral psychotherapy (CBT) and LGBTQ-affirmative family therapy (attachment-based family therapy for sexual and gender minority young adults; ABFT-SGM) delivered via telehealth to a sample of sexual and gender minority adults with nonaccepting parent(s) in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Israel. The investigators will assess whether both treatments are associated with significant decreases in depressive and anxiety symptoms. The investigators will also assess whether and how each treatment achieves reductions in mental health symptoms through specific mechanisms (e.g., rejection sensitivity, internalized stigma, emotion dysregulation, parental rejection and acceptance).
