Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
"Mindful Parenting" interventions offer one potential way of improving mental health and quality of life in parents and their children. Mindful parenting refers to a parenting style which involves paying close, non-judgemental attention to the child (Duncan et al., 2009). However, no research has investigated the impact of mindful parenting interventions on children with skin conditions and their parents.
The main aim of the current study is to investigate whether a mindful parenting intervention can improve mental health and quality of life in children with psoriasis/eczema and their parents. A single-group case-series design will be adopted, whereby participants will act as their own control; data collected from participants during and after they have received the intervention will be compared to data collected before they have received the intervention. Interviews will also be conducted after the intervention, to explore participants experience of the group.
The investigators predict that the intervention will improve mental health and quality of life in children with psoriasis/eczema and their parents. More specifically, we predict:
* There will be a reduction in negative parental idiosyncratic measures of stress throughout the intervention phase, in comparison to baseline phase, that will be maintained in the follow-up phase.
* There will be an improvement in positive parental idiosyncratic measures of stress during the intervention phase in comparison to baseline phase that will be maintained in the follow-up phase.
* There will be a significant increase in levels of mindful parenting following the intervention phase, in comparison to baseline phase, that will be maintained in the follow-up phase.
* There will be a significant decrease in levels of parental stress at end of intervention phase compared to baseline phase that will be maintained in the follow-up phase.
* There will be a significant increase in parental quality of life and paediatric quality of life at the end of intervention phase compared to baseline phase that will be maintained in the follow-up phase .
* There will be a significant improvement in psoriasis severity and itch at the follow-up phase compared to the baseline phase.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Mindful parenting intervention
There is only one arm in this study. A range of variables will first be measured (daily and weekly) over a baseline period in a group of participants. Following this baseline period, participants will be take part in a mindful parenting intervention whilst the same variables are measured. Following the intervention, there will be an 8-week follow-up period, and mindful parenting groups will not run during this time.
Mindful Parenting
The mindful parenting intervention is an adaption for parents of the Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) for depression (Kabat-Zinn, 1990), and the Mindful-Based Stress Reduction program (MBSR; Kabat-Zinn, 1990). The mindful parenting intervention will follow the manual developed by Bögels and Restifo (2014). The intervention consists of 9x3hour sessions. Eight of these sessions are run on consecutive weeks and the final session is run eight weeks after the eighth session. These groups involve group discussions around parenting, meditation exercises, and yoga, amongst other things.
