The Promoting Resilience in Stress Management Intervention for Parents (PRISM-P): A pilot randomised controlled trial in parents of children with Type 1 diabetes

The Promoting Resilience in Stress Management Intervention (PRISM-P) is a manualised intervention that consists of three one-on-one sessions with a trained interventionist. Within this intervention, the following four modules will be covered: stress management, goal setting, cognitive restructuring, and benefit-finding. These modules will be covered across two sessions and there will be a third booster session. Each session will go for approximately 45 - 60 minutes and the sessions will be scheduled approximately 2 weeks apart. All sessions will be delivered over videocalling software (Zoom). The strategies taught in PRISM-P are commonly used in cognitive behavioural therapy, however, the intervention also incorporates semi-structured discussions around gratitude. Intervention adherence will be monitored through session attendance checklists. Session fidelity will also be assessed by a third party using a fidelity checklist that was developed by the creators of PRISM-P. The fidelity checklist will ensure that all interventionists are delivering the core components of each module. Participants who are allocated to the intervention group (n = 15) and complete the intervention, will be asked to take part in a post intervention interview. No more than 15 participants will be asked to take part in the post-intervention interview. This interview will be conducted over a recorded Zoom call by a member of the research team and will be thematically analysed.
