AI Article Synopsis

  • This study explored how Stepping Stones Triple P (SSTP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) affect children with cerebral palsy and their parents' well-being.
  • In a trial involving 67 predominantly mother participants, results indicated that the group receiving both SSTP and ACT experienced better child functioning and quality of life, along with reduced psychological symptoms in parents.
  • However, there were no significant differences in parental confidence or between the SSTP-only group and the control group.

Article Abstract

Objective: To examine the effects of Stepping Stones Triple P (SSTP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on child functioning, quality of life, and parental adjustment.

Method: 67 parents (97.0% mothers) of children (64.2% male; mean age 5.3 ± 3.0 years) with cerebral palsy participated in a randomized controlled trial with three groups: wait-list control, SSTP, and SSTP + ACT. This article details the secondary outcomes.

Results: In comparison with wait-list, the SSTP + ACT group showed increased functional performance and quality of life as well as decreased parental psychological symptoms. No differences were found for parental confidence. No differences were found between SSTP and wait-list or between SSTP and SSTP + ACT.

Conclusions: ACT-integrated parenting intervention may be an effective way to target child functioning, quality of life, and parental adjustment.

Background: Menstruation is a physiological process that may be accompanied by pain, headache, edema, emotional changes, and other symptoms, all of which affect quality of life. Although the results of some studies indicate lifestyle habits can affect the menstrual cycle and associated symptoms, few have investigated this issue, and even fewer have explored the impact of these symptoms on quality of life, in Spanish women.

Purpose: The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of dysmenorrhea and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) among students at a Spanish university, assess the impact of these conditions on quality of life, and analyze the relationship among lifestyle habits, dysmenorrhea, and PMS.
