Determining the effect of Happiness Educational Program of Fordyce on the sense of coherence and psychological well-being of adolescents who have a parent with cancer

Field trial with a control group, with parallel groups, randomized, 92 people

Approval of the research plan in the university ethics committee. Selection of research units if they have a child in the research age group in the morning and evening shifts in the oncology ward of Shahid Rajaei Hospital. Obtain informed consent. Completion of the demographic checklist, Antonovsky's Sense of Coherence Questionnaire-13 and the Ryff's scale of Psychological well-being-18 at the beginning. For the intervention group, the number of sessions will be 6 sessions of 60 minutes and one day a week for 6 weeks. At the end of the research intervention, the Antonovsky's Sense of Coherence Questionnaire-13 and the Ryff's scale of Psychological well-being-18 are completed by both intervention and control groups. The place of training will be a room to protect the privacy of teenagers in Shahid Rajaei Hospital.

Inclusion criteria: 1. Consent to participate in the study and sign the informed consent form by the parent and adolescent 2. At least six months have passed since the definitive diagnosis of parent cancer by an oncologist. Criteria for non-inclusion: 1. Lack of adolescent awareness of parental cancer 2. History of participation in similar training courses in the last six months

The number of sessions in the intervention group will be 6 sessions of 60 minutes and one day a week for 6 weeks. The interventions will be performed in groups and in groups of 5 to 10 people. Control group: Non-intervention: This training group will not be given.

Sense of Coherence and Psychological well-being

The random assignment of a block will be such that first by multiplying the number of groups studied (two groups) by 2, the number of samples of each block is calculated equal to 4, then by factorial calculation, the number of samples of each block (4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1= 24), the number of blocks resulting from all states of arrangement of individuals, 24 calculated blocks and blocks involving the possible arrangement of individuals considering A (gray manikin) for the intervention group and B (white manikin) for the control group will be. Then, since the number of people in each block is 4 people and the estimated sample size is 92 people, so by matching 18 random numbers produced by Sample Randomizer software with the number of the above cases, how to arrange 92 people research sample and assign each number from 1 to 92 to one of the specific intervention or control groups and a block random allocation list will be compiled. Eligible research samples, based on the time priority of the referral, will be assigned a code to each of them, by matching that number with the block random allocation list, the adolescents participating in the research will be assigned to one of the intervention or control groups. This process will continue until the estimated sample size is completed.
