Official title

"The Isolation I Feel is Profound": The iParent2Parent Online Peer Support Program for Parents of Pediatric Solid Organ Transplantation Recipients

Overview

The iParent2Parent (iP2P) program is a new, innovative virtual mentorship program that will connect parents one-to-one with other parents of pediatric solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients who are trained to offer vital peer support and mentorship. Parents of children who received a SOT at The Hospital for Sick Children will be invited to participate as mentors and mentees (randomized into the iP2P or control group). The iP2P program can decrease feelings of isolation, improve mental health and have a long-term positive impact on patient health. This research will increase our understanding of one-to-one peer support and leverage eHealth technologies to improve the access to and acceptability of parent peer support interventions.

Interventions

  • Behavioral iParent2Parent Program
    iParent2Parent is an online peer support mentorship program that is based on the iPeer2Peer online peer support mentorship program, which has been established in multiple chronic disease populations as a self-management intervention, including in chronic pain and juvenile idiopathic arthritis populations. The iParent2Parent program connect parents one-to-one with other parents of pediatric solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients who are trained to offer vital peer support and mentorship.
