Learning Through Play Plus for Psychosis

Integrated Parenting Intervention for Parents With Schizophrenia: A Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial in Pakistan


Sponsor

Pakistan Institute of Living and Learning

Enrollment

90 participants

Start Date

Apr 1, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Evidence reports that parents with schizophrenia are particularly vulnerable to parenting difficulties and also experience problems in sensitively interacting with their children. This may cause insecure attachment in infants of mothers with psychosis. Children of parents with schizophrenia have poor developmental and clinical outcomes. However, there is no published trial, to the best of our knowledge, for children of parents with schizophrenia. Learning through Play (LTP) is a potentially low cost intervention to improve maternal mental health and child outcomes by promoting health child development. The proposed study will integrate LTP with existing culturally appropriate Cognitive Behaviour Theray (CBT) for psychosis (CaCBT-p) and test its feasibility and acceptability for parents with schizophrenia.
