Summary

This research will test whether a resilience training program can help parents of children with Down syndrome feel more accepting of their child and experience less caregiving burden.

Parents who care for a child with Down syndrome often face stress and emotional challenges. Building psychological resilience-the ability to adapt and recover from stress-may improve how parents cope and relate to their children.

The study will include about 50 parents of children with Down syndrome. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups:

Experimental group: Receives the resilience training program.

Control group: Receives usual care.

Study phases

Before the program: Parents complete questionnaires that measure their resilience, their acceptance or rejection of their child, and their caregiving burden.

During the program: Parents in the experimental group attend a structured resilience training program based on their expressed needs.

After the program: The same questionnaires are repeated immediately after the program and again at a follow-up to see if any changes last.

The research hypothesis is that parents who take part in the resilience training will show higher acceptance, lower rejection, and reduced caregiving burden compared with parents who receive usual care.

This study will provide evidence on whether resilience training is a helpful, practical, and safe way to support families raising a child with Down syndrome.
