Excited to share that the first paper of my #PhD in collaboration with Dr. Panagiota Dimitropoulou and Dr. Fotios S. Milienos is now published in MDPI Behavioral Sciences!

Child ViReal Support Program is a multi-level intervention program for children with attention deficits and their parents. This program combines parent training and child training, which utilizes the potential of immersive virtual reality (iVR) technology for the training of children’s attention. We conducted a randomized controlled trial (RCT) study to examine its efficacy on parenting stress, parental self-efficacy, parenting practices, and the core symptoms of children's ADHD (inattention and impulsivity/hyperactivity). The results showed that parents demonstrated reduced parenting stress, enhanced parental self-efficacy, and increased the employ of democratic parenting practices after their participation in the intervention program. Moreover, they reported reduced levels of inattention and impulsivity/hyperactivity in their children.
