Summary

The purpose of the proposed pilot randomized controlled design study is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and potential effectiveness of using a videoconferencing-based individual Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach to enhance the mental well-being and parenting competence of parents of children with hearing loss post-cochlear implantation over a three-month period after the intervention has taken place.

Usual care

Parents in the control arm will receive usual care delivered by otology nurses covering post-cochlear implantation care instructions (e.g., device safety, basic troubleshooting, follow-up schedules) and will have access to standard rehabilitation services as per clinic routines. After final assessments, waitlist participants may be offered access to intervention materials where appropriate.

BEHAVIORAL

ACT-based parenting program+usual care

The ACT-based parenting program integrates two complementary components: (1) targeted psychoeducation on post-CI care (device use and troubleshooting, home-based auditory rehabilitation, realistic progress monitoring, school and social participation, communication strategies, and navigation of rehabilitation services); and (2) brief, skills-focused psychotherapeutic content grounded in ACT principles to enhance psychological flexibility (e.g., present-moment awareness, defusion from difficult thoughts, acceptance of difficult emotions and sensations, values clarification, and committed action in daily caregiving). By combining condition-specific knowledge with process-based skills, the intervention is designed to address both informational needs and core psychopathological processes that perpetuate caregiver distress.
