This imbalance can negatively affect the emotional well\u2010being of the caregiver and lead to feelings of guilt. While this is a known issue, there may be gaps in knowledge specific to Iran. In this study, a new method was introduced to address this issue.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study aimed to examine the impact of desensitization with eye movements and reprocessing (EMDR) on reducing parental guilt among autistic children's families. We aim to examine the effectiveness of two different treatment methods.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study involved 90 parents (60 mothers, 30 fathers) of autistic children randomly assigned to either an experimental or control group. The two experimental groups received a 45\u2010min intervention session once a week for 3\u2009weeks, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Data on feelings of guilt was collected using a questionnaire. After 30\u2009days, both groups took a follow\u2010up test. The data were analysed using statistical software.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study found that there were significant differences in guilt feelings among different groups of EMDR therapy and a control group. Specifically, no significant differences were observed in the mean guilt scores between the experimental and control groups at the pre\u2010intervention stage (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u2009.05). However, the experimental groups exhibited significantly lower mean guilt scores immediately after the intervention and 1\u2009month later than the control group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.05). Immediately after the intervention and 1\u2009month later, no significant differences were observed between the two experimental groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u2009.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The findings of this study demonstrate the efficacy of desensitization treatment using eye movements and reprocessing in reducing feelings of guilt among autistic children's parents. In the follow\u2010up phase, it seems that the two\u2010way stimulation method with finger movements is more effective than Elite software in terms of the continuity of the effect. Healthcare providers are encouraged to learn and use these methods to help prevent and treat psychological issues in autistic children.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jpm.13088","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,26]],"date-time":"2024-07-26T11:54:52Z","timestamp":1721994892000},"page":"89-101","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Eye movements desensitization and reprocessing with finger movements and Elite mobile health software on guilt feeling of parents of children with autism: A randomized trial"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Hadi","family":"Rashidi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Student Research Center, School of Nursing and Midwifery Hamadan University of Medical Sciences  Hamadan Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6075-3811","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Efat","family":"Sadeghian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chronic Diseases (Home Care) Research Center Hamadan University of Medical Sciences  Hamadan Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5291-5080","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Farshid","family":"Shamsaei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Behavioral Disorders and Substance Abuse Hamadan University of Medical Sciences  Hamadan Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leili","family":"Tapak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Modeling of No Communicable Diseases Research Center Hamadan University of Medical Sciences  Hamadan Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mahdieh","family":"Seyedi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instructor of Department of Occupational Therapy, School of Rehabilitation Sciences Hamadan University of Medical Sciences  Hamadan Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,26]]},"reference":[{"issue":"44","key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","first-page":"13","article-title":"The effectiveness of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) on shame and feeling of guilt among women with sexual abuse experience in childhood","volume":"12","author":"Afshar A.","year":"2021","journal-title":"Journal of Analytical\u2010Cognitive Psychology"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.32598\/irj.18.3.946.1"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","first-page":"2620","article-title":"The effectiveness of eye movement desensitization and cognitive reprocessing intervention on improving the sense of parental competence and reducing the social isolation in mothers of deaf children","volume":"64","author":"Ahameh F.","year":"2020","journal-title":"Medical Journal of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajp.2021.102735"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5114\/hpr.2019.92305"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","unstructured":"Aristotle.
