Pilot Testing ADAPT a Bereavement Care Intervention
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Bereavement
In brief
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.
