Evaluation of a Resiliency Intervention for Siblings of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) (SibChat)

4. april 2022 oppdatert av: Karen Kuhlthau, Massachusetts General Hospital

The proposed research has the following objectives:

Based off findings from the "Development of a Resiliency Program for Siblings of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder" qualitative focus group study (protocol 2019P002284), the aim is to determine the feasibility and acceptability, of an 8-session Relaxation Response Resiliency (SibChat) program for siblings of children with ASD.

We primarily aim to test the preliminary effectiveness of a pilot waitlist controlled trial on improving resiliency and stress coping, This will be assessed by comparing Baseline-3 mo. scores on primary and secondary outcome measures between the Immediate and Waitlist control groups.

Among participants randomized to both conditions, we secondarily aim to investigate the extent of pre-post changes in primary and secondary outcomes. Among immediate condition group only, we also aim to assess whether end-of-treatment (3 mo. post enrollment) improvements will be sustained at 6-mo. post enrollment.

Studieoversikt

Detaljert beskrivelse

This intervention will be a modified version of Dr. Elyse Park's evidence-based 8-week multimodal treatment which is designed to promote adaptation to stress and promotion of resiliency. The program is an 8 session, 1 hour a week multi modal intervention that incorporates relaxation techniques, stress awareness discussion, and adaptive strategies for coping with stress. This study will refine an 8-session group virtual-delivered resiliency treatment program consisting of 8 virtual group 1-1 ½ hour sessions. The goal of this study would be to advance our ultimate objective to implement a national sibling resiliency program.

Eksperimentell: Experimental: 3RP treatment
An adapted version of the Relaxation Response Resiliency Program (3RP) for siblings of children with ASD. The adapted program incorporates the three prongs of the 3RP: RR elicitation, stress awareness, and adaptive strategies.
Virtually delivered psycho-educational resiliency training program for teenage siblings of children with ASD.

Hva måler studien?

Primære resultatmål

Resultatmål
Tiltaksbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Feasibility assessed by the number participants enrolled.
Tidsramme: 6 months
We will assess study feasibility based on number of participants enrolled in the study (target N=40)
6 months
Feasibility assessed by the number SibChat-3RP of sessions attended
Tidsramme: 8 weeks
Whether youth attended at least 5 out of 8 total program sessions.
8 weeks
Feasibility assessed by the survey retention post intervention.
Tidsramme: 6 months
Among participants randomized to both conditions, feasibility is assessed by the number of participants who completed the T2 and T3 surveys, 3 months and 6 months post baseline, respectively.
6 months
Acceptability assessed using the participant feedback survey
Tidsramme: 3 months
The participant feedback survey is a questionnaire made up of likert scales and open ended questions designed to record acceptability of the SibChat-3RP program on topics including length of sessions, number of sessions, and virtual delivery.
3 months
Acceptability assessed by relaxation response adherence
Tidsramme: 3 months
Among participants randomized to both conditions, relaxation response adherence is measured at T1, T2 and T3. Relaxation response adherence is a 1-item likert scale that indicates how often participants practice relaxation response exercises. Acceptability is determined based on whether participants indicate that they practice relaxation response exercises at least bimonthly 3 months post intervention.
3 months
Effectiveness of trial on improving stress coping ability (assessed using Measure of Current Status-A)
Tidsramme: 3 months
Measure of Current Status-A is a questionnaire - the score on the questionnaire is used to indicate stress coping ability. A change in score indicates a change in indicated stress coping ability. Comparison of intervention and wait list control 3 months after baseline (T1).
3 months
Effectiveness of trial on improving resiliency (assessed using Current Experiences Scale)
Tidsramme: 3 months
Current experiences Scale is a questionnaire. Improved resiliency is measured base upon change in questionnaire score. Comparison of intervention and wait list control 3 months after baseline (T1).
3 months

Tiltaksbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Pre-post intervention changes as measured by change in primary outcome scores of resiliency and stress coping.
Tidsramme: 3 months
Among participants randomized to both conditions, pre-post intervention changes in primary outcome scores of resiliency and stress coping will be assessed using the scores from the questionnaire (includes all primary outcome scores indicated above).
3 months
Sustained improvements in primary outcomes of resiliency and stress coping as measured by sustained change in primary outcome scores.
Tidsramme: 3 months
Among immediate condition group only, assess whether end-of-treatment (3 mo. post enrollment) improvements in primary outcome scores (resiliency and stress coping indicated above; collected using a questionnaire) will be sustained at 6-mo. post enrollment.
