Can a simple training ease Parents' stress during Child's transplant?
NCT ID NCT07219524
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a problem-solving skills program called Bright IDEAS helps parents of children undergoing stem cell transplants. Thirty-eight parents were randomly assigned to either the training or standard support. The goal was to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, and whether it reduces parents' distress and improves their child's quality of life. Results will show if this approach is worth testing in larger trials.
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 (behavioral intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could give parents practical tools to cope better during their child's transplant, possibly reducing stress and improving family well-being.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study with only 38 participants, so results may not apply to all families. The training requires time and effort, and benefits may be modest.
