Web Application for Sibling Stress Support
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
Most of the over 32.7 million people in the U.S. who have special health, developmental, and mental health concerns have typically developing (TD) brothers and sisters who share high levels of involvement in their sibling's lives. Disability and health agencies lack effective tools to support the information and support needs of TD siblings and their families, in particular for ethnic minority and rural families. The aims of this proposal are to complete development and evaluation of the dual language SIBTime app, designed to build parents' and children's knowledge, skills, and engaging family routines to nurture TD siblings' (ages 3-6) social-emotional health and well-being.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.
How is the Web Application for Sibling Stress Support different from other treatments for sibling stress?
The Web Application for Sibling Stress Support is unique because it uses a web-based platform to provide support, which can be more accessible and convenient compared to traditional face-to-face therapy. This approach is similar to other web-based interventions that have been successful in providing psychoeducational support and improving family dynamics, as seen in interventions for traumatic brain injury and post-injury stress.12345
What data supports the effectiveness of the SIBTime web application treatment for sibling stress support?
Research shows that siblings of children with cancer or cystic fibrosis often face emotional and social challenges, highlighting the need for supportive interventions. Psychological interventions have been shown to help siblings manage these challenges, suggesting that tools like the SIBTime web application could be beneficial in providing support.678910
