简要总结
Parents of children with special needs often experience high levels of stress and difficulties in emotional regulation, which may negatively affect both their well-being and parent-child interactions. This study aims to evaluate the effect of a Comfort Theory-based yoga and values clarification intervention on emotional regulation, comfort, and perceived stress levels in these parents.
This randomized controlled study will include three groups: a yoga intervention group, a values clarification group, and a control group. Participants will be randomly assigned to groups. Data will be collected using the Emotion Regulation Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, and General Comfort Questionnaire.
The intervention is expected to improve emotional regulation and comfort levels while reducing perceived stress among parents of children with special needs. The findings may contribute to the development of effective nursing interventions to support caregiver well-being.
详细描述
Parents of children with special needs are at increased risk of experiencing stress, anxiety, and emotional difficulties, which may negatively influence both their own well-being and their interactions with their children. Supporting these parents through effective interventions is essential for improving both parent and child outcomes.
This study is designed as a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a Comfort Theory-based yoga and values clarification intervention. Participants will be parents of children with special needs who meet the inclusion criteria. They will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a yoga intervention group, a values clarification group, or a control group.
The yoga intervention will include structured sessions aimed at promoting physical relaxation and mental well-being. The values clarification intervention will focus on helping participants identify and reflect on their personal values, enhancing emotional awareness and coping strategies. The control group will not receive any intervention during the study period.
Data will be collected using validated instruments, including the Emotion Regulation Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the General Comfort Questionnaire. These measures will assess changes in emotional regulation, stress, and comfort levels before and after the intervention.
The results of this study are expected to provide evidence on the effectiveness of non-pharmacological, nursing-based interventions in improving psychological well-being among parents of children with special needs.
