Effect of a Videoconference-Based Online Group Intervention for Traumatic Stress in Parents of Children With Life-threatening Illness

Jose Luis Vazquez Martinez - 31 July 2020

Muscara F, McCarthy MC, Rayner M, et al. Effect of a Videoconference-Based Online Group Intervention for Traumatic Stress in Parents of Children With Life-threatening Illness: A Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA Netw Open. 2020;3(7):e208507. doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2020.8507

 

Key Points

Question  Is an acceptance and commitment therapy–based group intervention, delivered using videoconferencing, effective in reducing posttraumatic stress symptoms in parents of very ill children?

 

Findings  This randomized clinical trial found that videoconference-based acceptance and commitment therapy (compared with a waiting list) was effective in reducing posttraumatic stress symptoms in parents of very ill children.

 

Meaning  This study supports the use of acceptance and commitment therapy as an approach to reduce posttraumatic stress symptoms in parents of very ill children, following an acute or unexpected illness or diagnosis, and finds that a videoconferencing platform can be used effectively to access hard-to-reach populations.

 Me parece interesante la intervención grupal basada en la terapia de aceptación y compromiso,  que segun la investigacion resulta eficaz para reducir los síntomas de estrés postraumático en padres de niños muy enfermos sobre todo incluyendo la tecnologia para que la poblacion afectada pueda acceder al tratamiento.
