Summary

This study tested whether a structured online education and counseling program could help parents of children with hydrocephalus and a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt feel less anxious and more confident. Fifty-nine parents took part, receiving video lessons and scheduled tele-counseling over three months. The goal was to see if this approach could ease parental stress and improve their sense of ability to care for their child.

Active substance

Tele-education and counseling program

What this could lead to

If it works, this could give parents a simple, at-home way to feel less anxious and more capable when caring for a child with a VP shunt.

What could go wrong

This was a small, completed study with only 59 participants, so results may not apply to all families. The intervention is behavioral, not a medical treatment, so it won't change the child's physical condition.
