This study investigates demographic variables that predict psychological distress among children of alcoholic fathers in Kerala, India. The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K-10), a standardized psychological instrument developed for assessing psychological distress, was used in a survey. It consists of ten items with five-point Likert scale responses. For the study, a total of 57 subjects were employed. The descriptive approach, linear regression analysis, and correlation were used to test the acquired data. Results showed that four of the eight demographic variables assessed independently for their ability to predict psychological distress in children of alcoholic fathers were gender (β=.335), occupation (β=.282), economic status (β= -.296), and the number of years of the father's alcoholism (β=.313). The four factors account for 60% of the variance in scores; R2 =.607; F (9.285); p<.05. Additionally, the results demonstrate that although separately, demographic variables together predicted psychological distress (R2=.542, p<.05). These four demographic factors significantly predicted the psychological distress experienced by children of alcoholic fathers. Therefore, it is essential to design health policies that account for such issues. This will substantially reduce the psychological distress of children of alcoholic fathers' experience.Keywords

This research scrutinized the efficacy of the online Positive Cognitive Processing Intervention (PCPI) Program in reducing psychological distress among the children of alcoholic fathers. A three-phased mixed-method research design was used in this study. The first phase was the qualitative phenomenological design, the intervention program was developed in the second phase, followed by the implementation of the program's effectiveness through ABA experimental design in the third phase. The online PCPI program is a six-module intervention implemented over a six-week period. Its efficacy is tested using a “one group pretest post-test”, comprising 20 children of alcoholic fathers. These twenty participants were randomly assigned to the qualitative phase and experimental phase. The study assessed the level of psychological distress by utilizing Kessler Psychological Distress Scale research instrument. Paired sample t-test was used for data analyses and Cohen's d test measured the extent of the effectiveness of the program. The results of paired sample t-test revealed a statistically significant effect. Large effect size of Cohen's d indicates the superiority of the intervention. Thus, the online PCPI program proved to be efficacious in reducing psychological distress among the children of alcoholic fathers.Keywords
