Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This randomized controlled trial evaluates a 7-week Coping and Parenting Competence intervention designed for parents of preschool children with special educational needs. The study reports that participants in the intervention group experienced significant reductions in anxiety and stress, along with improved perceived parenting competence, compared to a treatment-as-usual control group. These mental well-being benefits were maintained at a one-month follow-up, suggesting the program may enhance parental resilience.
