| Overall Research Project Description | The purpose of this project is to explore the long-term and pandemic effects of caregiving on the physiological and psychological health of parents with children diagnosed with a chronic physical, emotional, behavioral or developmental condition. Baseline data was collected prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and follow-up data was collected two to three years after the baseline data. We also had a secondary purpose to establish the role of self-care in these parents. We aimed to: Establish the effects of the effects of COVID-19 on negative affect, burden, burnout, quality of life, resiliency, sleep, self-esteem, mindfulness, and inflammation in parents with chronically ill children. Compare the extent of change in psychological and physiological health outcomes resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic between parents of children with a chronic condition and those without. Assess the needs, barriers, and preferences for self-care interventions among parents with chronically ill children. |

| Mentoring Philosophy | My philosophy is centered on creating a supportive and collaborative environment that promotes effective communication, teamwork, constructive feedback, independence, continuous learning, and professional development. Through this approach, I aim to empower mentees to achieve their personal and professional aspirations. Effective communication is essential in a mentoring relationship. I will maintain open, honest, and respectful dialogue with mentees. By actively listening and providing clear, thoughtful responses, I aim to build trust and meaningful exchanges of ideas. Collaboration is essential for growth and innovation. I encourage a team-oriented approach, where all share insights and work together towards common goals. Through mutual respect, we can ensure diverse perspectives and achieve greater outcomes. Providing constructive feedback is crucial for development. I focus on delivering feedback that is specific, actionable, and supportive. My goal is to create a positive learning experience that motivates and empowers mentees to reach their full potential. Fostering independence is vital. I encourage mentees to take ownership of their learning and decision-making processes. By providing the necessary tools and resources, I support the development of critical thinking and problem-solving, enabling them to become self-reliant and confident professionals. Continuous learning and understanding are essential for personal and professional growth. By offering resources, sharing experiences, and encouraging exploration, I aim to inspire mentees to pursue lifelong learning and deepen their understanding of their field. Supporting mentees in their professional development is key. I provide guidance on research and skill development, helping mentees achieve their goals. I aim to prepare mentees for long-term success. |

| Please add any additional information here (if applicable): | While I am currently in the process of analyzing my most recent data, which may seem boring to some, I am also currently seeking funding for an innovative intervention using wearable technology and a mobile based app to improve self-care and social support in parent caregivers. Therefore, this is opportunity for future involvement in my research. |
