Traditionally, educational and training programs have been developed linearly through a process in which they are designed, tested, and implemented using manualized protocols to minimize deviations from the original model and with little consideration for the implementation context [ 9, 10].
Additionally, as recommended in previous studies [ 6, 7, 23] the current study has a large sample size (120 participants), in a homogeneous age range, uses a manualized protocol, takes place outside the United States, and involves multiple informants (parents, teacher and child).
Strengths of the study are the use of one manualized protocol, application of standardized and internationally used rating instruments, use of multiple raters, investigation of generalization of learned skills to daily life, and the evaluation of efficacy in the longer term by follow-up measures at 6 months after the end of training.
The therapists in the experimental condition will participate in a two-day training in the protocol provided by the author of the manualized protocol, Susan Bögels.
They will participate in a two-day training in the standard operating procedures (SOPs) provided by the author of the manualized protocol and the standard operation videos.
To describe an approach to the development of manualized protocols for Ayurveda as a whole system of medicine; to characterize an Ayurvedic perspective on the pathophysiology, etiologies, and supportive treatments for an allopathic diagnosis of cancer.
Treatment will follow a manualized protocol based on procedures developed by Hautzinger [ 41], which includes psycho-education on MDD, behavioral activation, cognitive restructuring, social skills training, stress reduction, and relapse prevention.
The manualized protocol specifies the body regions to be addressed, with distinct 30 and 60-minute protocols, as well as the standard Swedish strokes to be used (effleurage, petrissage, tapotement, vibration, friction, and skin rolling).
The training focused on the theoretical background, the manualized protocol, the content of the sessions, the physical context of the sessions, the importance of adherence to the protocol, and to the study requirements in general.
We produced hepatic endoderm cells by using this protocol.
