简要总结
Parental bereavement experiences are unique and require interventions adaptable to individual experiences.The web-based, multi-modal intervention, labeled ADAPT, incorporates varied self-management strategies including: A: Asking for assistance (option to connect with child's healthcare team); DA: Developing Adaptive ability (self-management tools: e.g. stress reduction, legacy building); P: Accessing Pertinent online resources (grief support networks/websites); and T: Tracking one's health (self-administered surveys for grief, sleep, anxiety, and depression). A quasi-experimental, treatment-only design will be used for this study. The hypothesis is that the ADAPT intervention will promote positive adaptation to influence grief integration and consequently affect health outcomes (improved sleep and social interactions, and decreased anxiety and depressive symptoms).The purpose of this study is to describe the nature and degree of clinical benefit of the intervention on bereaved parents' health outcomes.
详细描述
ADAPT, is multi-modal intervention that promotes a targeted approach to individual parental bereavement experiences. ADAPT is based on the theoretical foundations of the Adaptive Leadership (AL) framework. ADAPT, incorporates varied self-management strategies including: A: Asking for assistance (option to connect with child's healthcare team); DA: Developing Adaptive ability (self-management tools: e.g. stress reduction, legacy building); P: Accessing Pertinent online resources (grief support networks/websites); and T: Tracking one's health (self-administered surveys for grief, sleep, anxiety, and depression). Parents can download ADAPT on any digital device (phones/computers) using weblink.
B. Study Purpose and Objective(s)
The purpose of this study is to describe the nature and degree of clinical benefit of the intervention on bereaved parents' health outcomes. The Specific Aims are:
Aim 1: Assess the acceptability and feasibility of the ADAPT intervention components. Acceptability will be assessed with a modified standardized acceptability survey and cognitive interviews. Feasibility will be assessed by accrual (recruitment), attrition, and intervention engagement (i.e., frequency, duration, and interaction). Intervention engagement data will be obtained via Google analytics and cognitive interviews.
Hypothesis 1.1: ADAPT is acceptable to participants (> 80% acceptability based on survey).
