Abstract
Background: The optimal number of sessions for pediatric solution-focused coaching (SFC-peds) is unknown.
Objective: Compare delivery intensities of a virtual-based SCF-peds with youth with neuromuscular conditions.
Methods: The study was an explanatory sequential, assessor-blinded randomized trial comparing single session and intensive (five sessions) coaching intensities. Goal attainment was measured using COPM and GAS. Pre-post COPM and GAS scores were compared. Participants completed semi-structured interviews.
Results: Fourteen participants (single: n = 5; intensive: n = 9) completed the study. Both groups achieved improvements in COPM performance (single: p = .01; intensive: p = .01) and satisfaction (single: p = .02; intensive: p = .01). No differences were observed between groups for COPM (performance: p = .75; satisfaction: p = .50) or GAS (p = .68).
Conclusions: Youth with neuromuscular conditions identified and achieved personally meaningful goals with SFC-peds, regardless of the number of coaching sessions. SFC-peds can be personalized.
