A 6-week internet-based self-help mindful self-compassion program for Chinese parents of children with cancer improved self-compassion, reduced re-experiencing of trauma, eased physical depressive symptoms, and enhanced sleep quality. In a pre-post-test study without a control group, 34 parents participated; significant changes were observed in those four areas. Two participants reported distress, with one withdrawing. The findings suggest the program is feasible and beneficial, though future work should address retention.
