Problem Solving Skills Training For Parent Caregivers of Youth With Chronic Pain
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Chronic Pain, Abdominal Pain, Headache
In brief
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of problem-solving skills training (PSST) to reduce distress and increase coping abilities among parents of youth with chronic pain. We hypothesize that parents will complete the PSST intervention and will find it to be an acceptable and satisfactory treatment. We also hypothesize that parents who receive PSST will have less distress and better coping skills than parents who receive standard care, and that children of parents who receive PSST will have better physical and emotional functioning than children of parents who receive standard care.
