Brief Summary

The primary objective of this pilot randomized waitlist control trial is to evaluate the impact of an OT-led parent education workshop on the PSOC of parents of children experiencing SPIs who are on the waitlist for a neurodevelopmental diagnostic assessment. The secondary objective is to obtain a subjective evaluation of the content, format, and delivery of the parent education workshop from the parents' perspectives.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Parental Sense of Competence (PSOC) Scale

  The Parental Sense of Competence (PSOC) scale is a self-report scale that measures and assesses parent self-efficacy on two dimensions: Satisfaction and Self-Efficacy. It is a 17-item scale, with each item rated on a 6-point Likert scale, anchored by 1 = "Strongly Disagree" and 6 = "Strongly Agree". Nine (9) items (#2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 14, 16) on the PSOC are reverse coded. Once reverse coded, the score for each item is added up to give the "total score" for this scale. The minimum and maximum total scores (total range) are 17 and 102, respectively. No subscale scores are reported. A higher total score indicates a higher parenting sense of competency; a lower total score indicates a lower parenting sense of competency. There are no average scores or "cut offs" for this tool.
