Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in parenting stress (idiosyncratic measure)

  The primary outcome measures for the proposed study are idiosyncratic measures of stress which will be assessed daily by text message. Participants will be asked to identify one stress-related positive target (something the participant would like to improve) and one negative target (something the participant would like to reduce). Participants will respond to the daily text messages with a score on a 0-100 scale.

  Daily for 20 weeks (baseline-intervention-follow-up)

Secondary Outcomes (10)

• Demographic information

  1-time point (baseline period)

• Mindful parenting

  4 time-points. Baseline (beginning of study), beginning of intervention (2 weeks later) end of intervention (8 weeks later) follow-up (8 weeks later)

• Parental Stress

  4 time-points. Baseline (beginning of study) beginning of intervention (2 weeks later), end of intervention (8 weeks later), follow-up (8 weeks later)

• Parental Anxiety

  4 time-points. Baseline (beginning of study), beginning of intervention (2 weeks later), end of intervention (8 weeks later), follow-up (8 weeks later)

Study Arms (1)

Mindful parenting intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

There is only one arm in this study. A range of variables will first be measured (daily and weekly) over a baseline period in a group of participants. Following this baseline period, participants will be take part in a mindful parenting intervention whilst the same variables are measured. Following the intervention, there will be an 8-week follow-up period, and mindful parenting groups will not run during this time.

Behavioral: Mindful Parenting

Interventions

Mindful Parenting BEHAVIORAL

The mindful parenting intervention is an adaption for parents of the Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) for depression (Kabat-Zinn, 1990), and the Mindful-Based Stress Reduction program (MBSR; Kabat-Zinn, 1990). The mindful parenting intervention will follow the manual developed by Bögels and Restifo (2014). The intervention consists of 9x3hour sessions. Eight of these sessions are run on consecutive weeks and the final session is run eight weeks after the eighth session. These groups involve group discussions around parenting, meditation exercises, and yoga, amongst other things.
