Summary
This study looked at whether a special type of counseling, called the Tidal Model, could help mothers of children with autism. The mothers attended 8 weekly one-on-one sessions. The goal was to reduce feelings of internalized stigma (blaming themselves) and improve their overall mental well-being. The study included 34 mothers and measured changes using standard questionnaires.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Tidal Model-based psychiatric nursing approach (8 weekly face-to-face sessions)
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a simple, non-drug way to help mothers of children with autism feel less stigmatized and more psychologically well.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 34 participants and no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is talk-based and may not work for everyone.
