To examine the feasibility/acceptability of a parent-delivered Active Music Engagement (AME + P) intervention for young children with cancer and their parents. Secondary aim to explore changes in AME + P child emotional distress (facial affect) and parent emotional distress (mood; traumatic stress symptoms) relative to controls.
A pilot two-group randomized trial was conducted with parents/children (ages 3-8 years) receiving AME + P ( n = 9) or attention control ( n = 7). Feasibility of parent delivery was assessed using a delivery checklist and child engagement; acceptability through parent interviews; preliminary outcomes at baseline, postintervention, 30 days postintervention.
Parent delivery was feasible, as they successfully delivered AME activities, but interviews indicated parent delivery was not acceptable to parents. Emotional distress was lower for AME + P children, but parents derived no benefit.
Despite child benefit, findings do not support parent delivery of AME + P.
探讨由家长实施的积极音乐参与干预(AME+P)对患癌幼儿及其家长的可行性/可接受性。次要目的是探究与对照组相比,AME+P干预对儿童情绪困扰(面部表情)和家长情绪困扰(情绪;创伤后应激症状)的影响。
开展了一项试点两组随机试验,让3至8岁的家长/儿童接受AME+P干预(n = 9)或注意力控制干预(n = 7)。使用实施清单和儿童参与度评估家长实施的可行性;通过家长访谈评估可接受性;在基线、干预后、干预后30天评估初步结果。
家长实施是可行的,因为他们成功开展了AME活动,但访谈表明家长实施对家长来说不可接受。AME+P组儿童的情绪困扰较低,但家长未从中受益。
尽管对儿童有益,但研究结果不支持由家长实施AME+P干预。
