Summary

This trial tests whether a culturally adapted, nurse-led program called COPE can improve the psychological wellbeing of primary caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder in Pakistan. The program includes four weekly sessions focused on coping skills, emotional regulation, and positive parenting. Researchers will measure changes in depression, anxiety, and stress one month after the intervention.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a practical, low-cost way to improve mental health for caregivers of children with autism in Pakistan.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study, not a large definitive trial. The results may not apply to other settings, and the program may not reduce distress more than routine care.
