Pilot Study of Parent Training With Role-plays in Virtual Reality for Parents of Children With Behavior Problems
Sponsor: Karolinska Institutet
Summary
The main aim of this pilot trial is to evaluate preliminary effects and feasibility of a new parent training program for parents of children aged 8-16 years with disruptive behavior (e.g., angry, aggressive or defiant behavior). The parent training program is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and includes practicing of skills in virtual reality (VR). The main questions the project aims to answer are: * What are the preliminary effects of the CBT-VR parent training program? * What is the level of parent engagement in the CBT-VR parent training program? * What are the experiences of parents and therapists of the CBT-VR parent training program? The CBT-VR parenting program is delivered at clinics during individual sessions. Parents will answer quantitative measurements before, during, and after treatment. Within-group analyses will be conducted to examine experiences and preliminary effects of the program. Parents and clinicians are also asked to participate in a qualitative interview after the program has ended.

Step-by-step: A cognitive behavioral parent program with role-plays in virtual reality
A parent training program based on social learning theory and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), incorporating virtual reality for training in brief role plays. The program includes similar strategies as other common CBT-parent training programs for parents of children with behavior problems, with the difference that virtual reality is used as an additional way to practice skills.
