About this trial
The purpose of this study is to determine if a structured training program in cognitive-behavioral strategies can improve:
Self-efficacy: The belief in one's ability to succeed in specific tasks or situations.
Sense of coherence: A perception of life as comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful.
Psychological ownership: A sense of possession or attachment to one's job or role.
These outcomes are critical for nurses working with children with ASD, as their role involves unique emotional and professional challenges. The study will use a rigorous scientific approach to assess the effectiveness of the intervention.
