Effectiveness of a Person-Centered Lifestyle Intervention in Mothers of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Effectiveness of a Person-Centered Lifestyle Intervention in Mothers of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Randomized Controlled Trial With 6-Month Follow-Up
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 30 Dec 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience substantial physical, emotional, and social strain due to the demands of continuous caregiving. These responsibilities often limit opportunities for health-promoting behaviors and contribute to elevated stress, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and reduced wellbeing. This study aims to evaluate an intervention designed to support the health and wellbeing of mothers who serve as primary caregivers of children with ASD. The intervention focuses on enhancing stress-management skills, improving participation in meaningful daily activities, and promoting balanced health behaviors through structured psychoeducational and occupation-based strategies. The goal of the trial is to determine whether a holistic, individualized, and occupation-centered approach delivered by occupational therapists can improve maternal wellbeing and support sustainable engagement in health-promoting routines.
