Data were collected using a questionnaire assessing the influence of psychological capital on caregivers' psychological well-being. The data were analyzed using Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient and hierarchical stepwise regression analysis.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> Psychological capital and Basic psychological needs showed a significant positive correlation with the psychological well-being of participants. In Model 1, psychological capital significantly predicted psychological well-being. However, when basic psychological needs were introduced as additional predictors in Model 2, the regression coefficients associated with psychological capital variables diminished, and some variables became non-significant.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Basic psychological needs were a mediating variable in the relationship between psychological capital and psychological well-being. Therefore, practical applications should focus on addressing basic psychological needs while fostering psychological capital to improve psychological well-being among caregivers of stroke patients.</p> Piriyanath Munyod Sittipong Wattananonsakul Copyright (c) 2025 Academic Psychiatry and Psychology Journal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2025-02-27 2025-02-27 41 1 1 15 Online Gratitude Intervention for Body Appreciation and Intuitive Eating for Women in Bangkok https://he01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/APPJ/article/view/271419 <p><strong>Objective</strong>: To investigate the effectiveness of an online functionality-focused gratitude intervention (FFGI) for body [ppreciation and intuitive eating for emerging adult women in, Bangkok Thailand.</p> <p><strong>Materials and Methods</strong>: This quasi-experimental study used a pretest-posttest format with a control group to investigate the effectiveness of the FFGI in promoting body appreciation and intuitive eating among Thai emerging adult women (n=70) in Bangkok using the Thai Body Appreciation Scale-2 (T-BAS-2) and the Thai Intuitive Eating Scale-2 (T-IES-2).

The research employed questionnaires to evaluate program outcomes, including program satisfaction questionnaires, the Parental Stress Scale (PSS), the Parental Sense of Competence Scale (PSOC), and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Participants received assessments at baseline, one-week, and four-weeks post-intervention. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to analyze the data at a significance level of 0.05.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> 83.3 percent of participants completed the study. Overall satisfaction with the program was at a high to the highest level. After receiving the program, participants showed a statistically significant decrease in parental stress median when followed up in the first (41.5 vs. 37.0, <em>P</em> = 0.007) and fourth week (41.5 vs. 34.5, <em>P</em> = 0.012) compared to before program participation. However, there was no statistically significant difference in parental competence and the child's behavior before and after the program.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The online psychoeducational program for parents of children with specific learning disorder may significantly reduce parental stress.</p> Chanisara Kanchaisak Jirada Prasartpornsirichoke Watinee Amornpaisarnloet Prima Pavarojkit Copyright (c) 2025 Academic Psychiatry and Psychology Journal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2025-04-02 2025-04-02 41 1 30 44
