Sponsor: Yuzuncu Yil University
Summary
This study aims to investigate the effects of a bibliotherapy-based psychoeducation program on parenting stress and parental stigma among parents of children with special needs. The program is designed to provide emotional support, reduce caregiving-related stress, and decrease feelings of shame or self-blame linked to stigma. We will compare the results of parents who participate in the program with those who do not, to evaluate whether the program improves psychological well-being and parenting perceptions.

Bibliotherapy-Based Psychoeducation Program
This intervention is a structured, bibliotherapy-based psychoeducation program specifically designed for parents of children with special needs. Unlike traditional psychoeducation, this program integrates selected literary materials such as short stories, narratives, and reflective texts to facilitate emotional expression, self-reflection, and shared discussion. The program is delivered in group sessions led by a trained mental health professional and includes guided reading, interactive discussions, and coping strategy exercises. The focus is on reducing parenting stress and internalized stigma while improving self-perception in the parenting role. No pharmacological treatment or standard educational content is included in this intervention, making it distinct from other clinical or therapeutic programs.
