Aim: Since parental stress and family empowerment were shown to influence children's and adolescents' outcome, especially in the case of psychotherapeutic treatments, the present study aims to deeply explore factors that are likely to impact on stress and empowerment in parents of children with a psychiatric diagnosis.
Methods: Parenting stress and empowerment have been compared between 45 parents of children with a psychiatric disorder and 96 parents of children without psychiatric disorders.
Results: Parenting stress appeared to be higher in patients' parents and it varied according to disorder severity, while socio-demographic variables seemed to influence the stress levels only to a slight extent. Moreover parental stress and empowerment influenced each other within the parental couple.
Conclusions: Developing interventions aimed to support parenting and to involve fathers in the parent-child relationship, focused on increasing parents empowerment and self-efficacy, could contribute to decrease stress and positively influence children's psychopathology.

Background: Reducing risk of dementia requires a person to have accessible information about health and risk factors, person-centered health goals, and self-efficacy. Here, we test the feasibility of a new risk reduction program called Brain Wellness Information, Support, and Empowerment (Brain-WISE). Its unique features are that it (1) is aligned with a theoretical model of behavior change, (2) is relatively brief (six 90-min sessions), (3) is conducted with groups of people who have pre-existing community; (4) includes individual and group activities and person-centered health goals; and (5) is conducted with speech-language therapists.

Living with chronic conditions like diabetes mellitus (DM) or insulin resistance (IR) requires significant self-management, adding to daily life stressors. This stress, known as diabetes distress, along with health empowerment from proper diet and lifestyle, and motivation to eat healthily, greatly impacts quality of life and disease outcomes. Different patient subgroups (type 1 diabetic (T1DM), type 2 diabetic (T2DM), and insulin resistant (IR) individuals) face these challenges differently.
