Brief Summary

Exposure to trauma during childhood contributes to behavioral and attachment difficulties in children. The current research study will be conducted on the effectiveness of child-parent relationship therapy (CPRT) on psychological distress and family functioning among parents of children exposed to trauma. The CPRT is an evidence-based intervention parenting program that gives training to the parents, to help children who have social, emotional, attachment, and behavioral difficulties. A CPRT would train parents with the principles of CCPT and provide them with the ability to support their children. A randomized controlled trial will validate the effect of CPRT on family functioning, and parental psychological distress among parents of children exposed to trauma. It will be an interventional-based study on CPRT with a pre-posttest experimental design. The current study would be conducted in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, after obtaining permission from the appropriate authorities, for collecting data from the educated mothers/caretakers as a research sample. There would be inclusive and exclusive selection criteria for the sample. A study will be conducted in four ways, firstly, the need assessment will be conducted with phenomenological research design from selected educated mothers/caretakers on the KAP model (knowledge, attitudes, and practices) categories about the CPRT, and psychological distress on family functioning among parents of children exposed to trauma. In phase two, the pilot study will be conducted to assess the accuracy of measures for the sample and the effectiveness of CPRT. In phase three, a cross-sectional survey would measure the study variables. The fourth phase will be the intervention phase for validation of CPRT therapeutic techniques in the Pakistani population a randomized controlled trial design will be applied to analyze the effect of CPRT on study variables in the next phase (main study). The measures Child-Parent Relationship Scale, depression, anxiety, and stress scale, family assessment device, and disruptive behavior through Children's Behavior Questionnaire (very short form) parental-version will be used to collection the data from study participants. The Child and Adolescent Trauma Screen would be used as a screening inventory. The CPRT intervention therapeutic sessions will continue based on the inclusive and exclusive selection criteria.

Model Details: Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT) is a play-established therapy process for young children, aged between 3-10, who have attachment issues, and behavioral, social, or emotional issues. It is based on ten weekly, two-hour group sessions for a group of 5-8 members in the group. Learning skills, receiving feedback on skill practice, and connecting with other parents for support are all critical components of the CPRT program. Parents learn skills and prepare for future play sessions with their children during sessions 1-3. Parents practice their new skills with their children in weeks 4-10, while the therapist provides feedback in a small group setting.
