As little is known of parental distress at the first onset of SSNS, this study aims to describe parental distress and everyday problems in mothers and fathers of a child with newly diagnosed SSNS participating in a randomized controlled trial of levamisole added to corticosteroids.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>To assess distress, the Distress Thermometer for Parents (DT-P) was used, which includes questions on distress (thermometer score 0\u201310,\u2009\u2265\u20094 \u201cclinical distress\u201d) and presence of everyday problems in six domains: practical, social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and parenting. The DT-P was completed 4\u00a0weeks after the onset of SSNS. Total sum and individual items of everyday problems were compared with reference data from mothers and fathers of the Dutch general population.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>There was no difference in clinically elevated parental distress between SSNS mothers (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200937) and fathers (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200925) and reference parents. Compared to reference fathers, fathers of a child with SSNS scored significantly higher on emotional problems (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.030), while mothers experienced more parenting problems (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.002).

However, both parents endorsed significantly more everyday problems. Therefore, monitoring parental distress, even in the first weeks of the disease, could contribute to timely interventions and prevent worsening of problems.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Clinical trial registry<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Dutch Trial Register (<jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"https:\/\/onderzoekmetmensen.nl\/en\/trial\/27331\">https:\/\/onderzoekmetmensen.nl\/en\/trial\/27331<\/jats:ext-link>).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Graphical abstract<\/jats:title>\n                \n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00467-023-06038-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,28]],"date-time":"2023-06-28T17:02:01Z","timestamp":1687971721000},"page":"4013-4022","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Distress in parents of children with first-onset steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6386-5154","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Floor","family":"Veltkamp","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hedy A.","family":"van Oers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lorynn","family":"Teela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elske M.","family":"Mak-Nienhuis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lotte","family":"Haverman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antonia H.
