Summary

The main purpose of the pragmatic multicenter studies is to investigate the trransdiagnostic, manualized Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) based group treatment (Navigator ACT) for treatment of stress and distress in parents of children with disabilities, and to investigate the concept of parental psychological flexibility. The first phase includes a feasibility study (n=94) of the Navigator ACT for parents of children (0-17 years) with disabilties who participate in the Navigator ACT group treatment after being screened for symptoms of stress, depression and anxiety associated with the challenges of parenting. In the second phase (if treatment proves feasible), a randomised controlled trial (RCT) is conducted. In the RCT, approximately n=100 parents of children with disabilties were expected to be included, divided into experiment- and control groups. The recruitment takes places in several regions in Sweden. In addition, a psychometric evaluation of the main outcome instrument used in these studies, is going to be conducted. The Parental Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (PAAQ). In an additional study (expected n= ca 600), will focus on factors that explain treatment outcome and attrition.
