Summary

This study tests whether a program called Bright IDEAS can help parents of children receiving palliative care feel less anxious, depressed, and stressed. The program teaches parents a step-by-step approach to solving problems. Forty parents will take part in 6-8 sessions and report on their well-being. The goal is to see if the program is practical and helpful compared to standard support.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Bright IDEAS problem-solving skills training program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a practical, low-cost way to help parents cope better with the emotional challenges of caring for a seriously ill child.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program may not reduce distress more than standard support.
