Summary

This study tested a 22-minute online training program for parents of children aged 5-12 with long-term health conditions. The training taught simple skills based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help parents support their child's anxiety. Only 17 parents took part, and the study aimed to see if the training was acceptable and easy to use, not whether it actually reduced anxiety.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) psychoeducation videos
What this could lead to
If this approach works, it could offer a simple, low-cost way to help carers support anxious children with long-term health conditions.
What could go wrong
This was a very small feasibility study with only 17 participants and no control group. It cannot prove the training actually reduces anxiety, only that it might be acceptable to try in a larger trial.
