Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Self-compassion training will be given to the experimental group

Awareness-based self-compassion training will be provided to parents of children with cerebral palsy.

Mindfulness based self-compassion training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Self-compassion training is a program that aims to help individuals develop a kind, understanding and tolerant approach towards themselves. In this training, individuals learn to be more compassionate towards themselves and to share. This training can help manage negative emotional states such as stress, anxiety and stress and can lead to a healthier internal balance. When combined with mindfulness techniques, self-compassion training allows individuals to accept the moment and develop a more compassionate approach towards themselves. It is thought that this training will be applied to the experimental group to develop parents' feelings of self-compassion and positively affect the parameters of caregiver burden, self-efficacy and emotion regulation designed in the study.

The control group will not receive self-compassion training
