This pilot randomized trial examined the effects of a psychoeducational intervention on caregiving burden, anxiety, internalized stigma, and coping strategies among caregivers of children with epilepsy. Using a randomized design, 54 caregivers were assigned to either an experimental ( n = 28) or control ( n = 26) group. The 6‐week intervention included psychoeducation, emotional support, and stress‐management techniques aimed at enhancing caregivers' psychological well‐being. Results showed significant reductions in caregiving burden ( p = 0.000), internalized stigma ( p = 0.000), and anxiety ( p = 0.000) in the experimental group, while the control group showed no significant changes. Caregivers in the experimental group also adopted more adaptive coping strategies, including increased self‐confidence ( p = 0.000) and optimistic approaches ( p = 0.001), greater reliance on social support ( p = 0.001), and decreased use of helpless ( p = 0.000) and submissive coping styles ( p = 0.000). These findings demonstrate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of psychoeducational interventions for improving caregiver well‐being and suggest the need for a future large‐scale definitive trial to confirm these effects.

We investigated death anxiety among parents of children with disabilities and its associations with coping attitudes and psycho-demographic factors. Surveys were administered to 382 parents of children who possess a severe disability and data were analyzed via descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that parents experienced high levels of death anxiety; the level of death anxiety changed according to some psycho-demographic factors, such as external support, type of disability, and death-related beliefs; and death anxiety was significantly explained by demographic variables, death-related thoughts, and experiences, and adaptive and maladaptive coping attitudes.

This study aims to determine the effects of a six-week individual psychoeducation program provided to primary caregivers of children with autism on stigma and care burden. The study was conducted with 88 primary caregivers (experimental group n = 45, control group n = 43) of children diagnosed with autism. The study, prepared in an experimental design with a pretest, posttest, and control group, was performed between 17 June 2021 and 17 January 2022. In the study, a six-week individual psychoeducation was given to the experimental group. Study data were collected using a personal information form, the Internalized Stigma of Parents in Mental Illness Scale (ISPMIS), and the Caregiver Burden Scale (CBS).The mean pretest ISPMIS total score of the experimental group was $\overline{X}$ =105.756 and the posttest total score after the psychoeducation was $\overline{X}$=66.489,which was a significant decrease (t = 25.571; p < 0.05). The mean CBS pretest total score of the experimental group was $\overline{X}$=61.067 and the posttest total score was $\overline{X}$=31.667, which was a significant decrease (t = 17.499;p < 0.05). The study revealed that the six-week individual psycho education provided to primary caregivers of children with autism decreased the participants’ internalized stigma and perceived care burden.
