Research summary
The purpose of the study is to assess the characteristics of parents who enroll in parenting interventions and to assess the utility and efficacy of a self-directed Triple-P intervention for parents of children with a diagnosis of cancer. The study aims to recruit parent(s) or primary caregiver of children with a diagnosis of cancer.Participants will be parents of children aged between 3-10 years who have a diagnosis of cancer of 6 months or more. Recruitment will take place nationally via cancer voluntary groups/charities and other relevant organisations. The project will be advertised through these organisations and their various media outlets such as newsletters and social media pages (e.g. Facebook). All data collection will take place online. Following completion of the initial survey, parents will have the option to opt in to a randomised controlled trial whereby they will be randomised to receive a self-directed parenting workbook or continue care as usual for 10 weeks.
