An interventional study of iParent2Parent Program and Waitlist Control in JIA, sponsored by The Hospital for Sick Children. Completed at 2 sites in Canada. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 100 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-04-06.
Sponsored by The Hospital for Sick Children · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The iParent2Parent program matches parents of children living with arthritis with a trained parent mentor who will provide parents of children newly diagnosed with arthritis: practical coping advice and social support through shared lived experiences. This study will compare two groups of parents: those who are in the iParent2Parent program and those in the control group (no mentor).
Parents/primary caregiver of children with JIA are an often overlooked but essential member of their child's health care team. They are responsible for managing their child's treatment program, and act as advocates for their child to support positive adaptation to JIA and to learn self-management skills for the disease. This is in the context of managing the financial, logistical, emotional, and social demands of parenting in general. Within pediatric tertiary care centres, peer-support programs for parents of children with JIA are often limited or difficult to access. The iParent2Parent Program aims to fill this gap in services by offering a program of trained parent peer mentors who can provide practical coping advice, foster adaptive problem solving, and provide social support via shared lived experience.

Trial feasibility of iParent2Parent program
Criteria for feasibility are based on studies previously conducted by our group and will be: accrual rate of \>70 percent, attrition rate of \<15percent, technical difficulties reported by \<10 percent of parents and mentors, adherence rate of \>80 percent, \<5 percent missed responses on outcome measures and high acceptability (based on qualitative analyses). Data related to the primary outcome will be recorded on investigator-developed forms.
