Filter by:Caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) report higher levels of depression and distress than caregivers of typically developing children as well as children with other developmental disabilities. The proposed work tests a novel treatment paradigm that blends Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) with an empirically supported and manualized parent training program (Parent-Implemented Early Start Denver Model [P-ESDM]). We hypothesize that directly treating parental distress, while simultaneously providing evidence-based parent training, may greatly enhance child-focused intervention and provide benefits that resonate across the family.
Pilot of a novel video-based telemedicine intervention to reduce fear of hypoglycemia in parents of young children with type 1 diabetes.
Burn injuries are related to longer hospital stay. Patients who have a burned child are affected prolonged hospitalization. Social life and quality of life are affected by burn injuries. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of burn injury on parents.
The purpose of this study is to determine if non-invasive distracting devices (Virtual Reality headset) are more effective than the standard of care (i.e., no technology based distraction) for preventing anxiety in parental and pediatric populations with limited English proficiency (LEP).
Becoming a parent is a challenging stage in life, which provokes feelings of both excitement and insecurity; parents strive to develop confidence in their parenting role. Studies show that new parents often feel inadequately prepared for early parenthood which may have a negative impact on adjustment to life as a parent as well as health and wellbeing for the whole family. The overall aim is to develop, pilot test and evaluate a new programme for antenatal preparation for the early parenthood period. The hypothesis is that expectant first-time parents who receive an intervention with a new programme for antenatal preparation for parenthood will show higher scores for parental self-efficacy in the early parenthood period than those who do not receive the intervention. The specific aims for the pilot study are: 1. To assess the acceptability of the procedures for parents and providers (midwives) 2. To estimate the likely rates of recruitment and retention of participants 3. To estimate the effects on outcome measurements in order to calculate the appropriate sample size in a full scale randomized controlled trial (RCT). Antenatal clinics will be randomised to either intervention group, and provide a new programme of antenatal parental preparation, or to control group and provide a regular programme of antenatal parental preparation. First-time expectant parents will be invited in early pregnancy by the midwives at the antenatal clinics to participate in the study by partaking in an evaluation of the different ways to provide antenatal parental preparation. Parents who agree to participate will receive postal questionnaires before the antenatal parental preparation start and approximately four weeks after giving birth. Midwives working in antenatal clinics randomised to the intervention group will receive a one-day-education before providing the intervention antenatal parental preparation. These midwives will also receive questionnaires, after the education and after providing the antenatal parental preparation. All midwives, in both control group and intervention group, providing antenatal parental preparation will be given a form with questions related to the content in the provided programme to fill in.
The Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) Top child and adolescent health problems study aims to identify the top health concerns that parents/guardians and paediatricians in a tertiary hospital have for young people in England. 400 parents or guardians attending GOSH outpatients and 200 Paediatricians working at GOSH will be asked to rank a list of 30 child health concerns and results compared. Analysis will be done by demographics as well.
Chronic pain is estimated to affect 20% to 35% of children and adolescents around the world, and is associated with increased risk of anxiety and depression among children and adolescents, as well as coping challenges, anxiety, depression, and anger in their parents. For parents, learning to manage stress is critical, as parents play a significant role in a child's experience of pain. Parental behaviors such as over-involvement, solicitousness and rejection are associated with decreased functioning, including higher school absenteeism in children and teens. A number of interventions demonstrate that teaching skills to parents can have a direct and positive impact on the health of children and adolescents with chronic pain. The investigators propose to create and test the BodiMojo Parent Buddy which will provide parents with real-time, tailored and adaptive coping and stress management support and will provide a curriculum of skills for responding to a child in pain in order to promote child functioning. Thirty parents of children ages 8-18 who have been diagnosed with a non-cancer chronic pain condition will participate in this user-testing study. Parents will complete a brief set of questionnaires before and after the intervention, and will be instructed to open and use the app each day for 30 days. Participants will complete audio mindfulness exercises, watch brief video clips, and read psychoeducational information about pain, coping, and communication skills. Post-intervention questionnaires will also include an acceptance test to assess participants' opinions about the helpfulness and usability of the app. Parent participation is expected to take around 3.5 hours total over the 30 day study period.
The purpose of this mixed-methods study is to explore the lived experience of parents of young adults ages 18 to 25 years with type 1 diabetes who are transitioning to independence, and to test the preliminary efficacy of a mobile education program to reduce parental distress.
The PANJO study aims to evaluate, within the French public health services, the impact of a home visitors training on parent-child attachment, families outcomes, use of services and child maltreatment indicators.
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.
