The objectives of this study are to evaluate the effect of a group psychotherapy intervention for parents of children/adolescents with LCA on indicators of emotional health, parental stress, acceptance, cognitive defusion, and mindfulness. The study design is a repeated measures design with pre-, post-, and 3-month follow-up assessments. Forty parents of children and adolescents with LCA will be included in the sample. Twenty will participate in the psychotherapy groups, divided into 2 groups of 10 people, and 20 will be in the control group. To assess the indicators mentioned in the objective, the following questionnaires will be applied: Self-Reporting Questionnaire, Parental Stress Scale, Acceptance and Action Questionnaire, Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire, and Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory. A subsequent data analysis will be conducted to evaluate and correlate these indicators before, after, and 3 months post-intervention.
