Summary

Telehealth is a delivery format that shows promise, and occupation-based coaching (OBC) is one intervention that can be delivered via telehealth. OBC is a collaborative coaching model with the therapist and the family (caregiver and child) that has been shown to improve positive child-caregiver interactions, caregiver competence with managing child health maintenance tasks, and improve engagement in meaningful everyday tasks (such as health maintenance tasks, self-care, and social participation). The goal of this pilot study is to improve child health outcomes and family quality of life for young children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Specifically, this pilot randomized control trial will provide valuable information about the preliminary effectiveness of occupation-based coaching (OBC) via telehealth to improve the quality of life of families and children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D). It is hypothesized that OBC is an effective intervention that can be delivered to T1D families living in rural communities via telehealth methods.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

occupation-based coaching

Occupation based coaching is an intervention proven to be an effective intervention in family-centered practice. OBC is a strength-based approach that emphases collaboration with clients in goals setting and attainment to increase overall health and quality of life. Clients are the central focus of the intervention and generate their own strategies to address goals as part of the coaching process. In their role as coach, the therapists employ techniques such as reflective questioning and comments to support clients in identifying existing routines and rituals that impact goal attainment and to increase knowledge and access to resources that can promote improved caregiver quality of life after a child's diagnoses with T1D. Occupation based coaching can be divided into the following steps: "(1) setting goals, (2) exploring options, (3) planning action, (4) carrying out the plan, (5) checking performance, and (6) generalizing"(Little et al., 2018, p.2).
