Brief Summary:
The purpose of the proposed non-randomized waitlist-controlled design study is to evaluate the feasibility acceptability and potential effectiveness of using a Videoconferencing-based Individual Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy FACT approach to enhance the mental well-being of parents of children with special healthcare needs SHCN over a three-month period after the intervention has taken place
Detailed Description:
Parents of children with special health care needs SHCN have always been under tremendous pressure to care for their children The parental well-being as well as family functioning are at risk In literature there has been increasing evidence supporting the efficacy of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ACT on mental health in different populations including healthy individuals parents children and those with mental health problems The previous studies done by the PI in using ACT for improving parental well-being and management have proven the intervention effective for Hong Kong parents Her work showed that ACT training effectively enhanced the parental well-being of parents of children with asthma and autism spectrum disorder
Though the result was promising the previous clinical trials in Hong Kong showed a limited effect size This is due to the need for extensive manpower in ACT intervention yet there are very limited trained ACT interventionists in Hong Kong On top of that past interventions have failed to target impaired psychopathological processes as well as identify and determine which psychopathological processes require intervention in the first place This study aims to overcome the limitations mentioned above The proposed study will follow the model and principles of Focused Acceptance Commitment Therapy FACT to increase the psychological flexibility of parents of children with SHCN FACT is a new model of brief therapy that is a highly condensed version of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which has been proven to be effective in the long term in improving ones mental well-being through increasing ones psychological flexibility The time-limited and brief FACT intervention targets the impaired psychopathological processes and determines what processes need to work on first which also eases the demand for ACT interventionists
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility acceptability and possible effectiveness of Videoconferencing-based Individual Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy FACT in enhancing the mental health of parents of children with special healthcare needs SHCN by comparing the results to those of a waitlist control group The study will assess the well-being of the participating parents before the intervention immediately after the intervention and again three months later to determine the impact of the FACT intervention on their mental well-being
