Filter by:Parent training programs in groups and over internet can help parents improve their interaction and communication with their children. There is however a lack knowledge of how programs work for parents of teenagers, as most studies have concerned younger children. Furthermore, most studies have been conducted on programs for selective populations with elevated risk. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of two universal preventive parenting programs for teenagers: The group-based program 'ABC-teen' and the online-based 'ParentWeb'. Both programs aim to strengthen the parent-adolescent relationship and reduce negative communication. The programs are developed in Sweden with content based on other established parenting programs (e.g., Comet, Incredible Years, the Triple P). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of the the two programs, with adolescent mental health as primary outcome. Several secondary outcome measures concerning parenting and parent-adolescent relationship were also collected. Parents were randomized to ABC-teen, ParentWeb or a 6 months Wait-List control. Parent- and adolescent ratings were collected at baseline, after 4 and after 12 months. All data collection has now been completed and the next step is to process and analyze the data.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare parents tools to handle challenges and strengths as parents. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do participating parents feel more confident than non partipating parents? - Does the program have positive effects on parenting practices, parents´ well-being, and social support? - Is the programme more effective for some groups of parents ( e.g., gender, socioeconomis status) Participating parents will attend four 1-hour, manual based sessions followed by a 30-minutes optional coffe break. In addition parents will be asked to do homework assignments between the sessions. Researchers will compare the intervention group with an equally sized control group that will receive the program later the same year.
The goal of this study is to test the feasibility of a web-based program for parents of middle school aged students. 286 parents and their child in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade will be asked to each complete two online questionnaires over the course of about a month, parents will also complete a web-based program between questionnaires. Researchers will compare the intervention and an active control to test the intervention program efficacy for improving outcomes related to parent-child communication, media message processing, and adolescent health.
In this study, it was aimed to evaluation of the effect of internet-based parenting education based on the information -motivation-behavioral skills (ımb) model on maternal and paternal attachment.
The goal of this randomized control trial is to find out the effects of infant abdominal massage on postnatal stress level among Chinese parents in Hong Kong with babies under 1 year old. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - examine the effects of infant abdominal massage on postnatal stress level among Chinese parents in Hong Kong - the relationship between the compliance of the intervention and the change of parental stress level Participants in intervention group will receive a abdominal massage training session and will perform on their baby. Parental stress level will be assess week 0 and four weeks . If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare wait-listed control group to see if there is any change on their parental stress level
Low birth weight (LBW) infants are at significantly elevated risk for a host of detrimental outcomes including cognitive, language, and social delays and disabilities, which persist into adulthood. An important protective factor for mitigating risk is sensitive and responsive parenting. While evidence- based home visiting interventions exist and were developed specifically for LBW infants, such as the Play and Learning Strategies program, parents face major obstacles in accessing these interventions. In general, interventions demonstrated to be effective through federal research are very slow to migrate to community service delivery systems. Exacerbating this problem currently is the fact that while VLBW has been increasing, and disproportionately so for those who are poor an of minority status, home visiting programs have sustained some of the largest cuts in their histories. Consequently, there is high demand for effective interventions that can be delivered remotely. Through prior, the investigator team addressed this need by adapting the evidence-based PALS program for web-based delivery using laptop computers with streaming video of in-home parent child interactions and weekly remote coaching. The investigator team then rigorously tested its effects in a sample of low-income mothers and infants with typical birth histories. Results of this randomized controlled study showed pre-post growth in maternal sensitivity behaviors and significant increases in infants' social engagement with their mothers, with moderate to large effect sizes for the intervention group as compared to the control group. These encouraging results provide a strong empirical basis for the enhanced web-based delivery method of the PALS program. Although PALS was originally developed and tested with LBW infants, the web-based version, InfantNet, has not yet been tested with this population. Moreover, emergent trends show that young Latino and Black women most often access the Internet through smart phones, not laptops. Consequently, there is great demand for improving access to evidence-based interventions by making them available on mobile devices such as smart phones. Response: To address the need for more accessible evidence-based interventions, the investigator team will overlay the InfantNet program onto the iPhone and rigorously test its effects with 60 low- income mothers and their LBW infants through a 2-arm, 3 cohort, randomized-controlled design.
The research covers the birth memory evaluation to determine the pregnancy process, the labor process and the changes in the perceived pain level during this process, the parenting behavior immediately after the birth and the process of the birth.
The overarching goal of the "SMART Optimization of a Parenting Program for Active-Duty Families" study is to advance the "development, adaptation, efficiency or optimization, and testing of a prevention intervention by using a sequential, multiple assignment, randomized trial/SMART to test multiple components of an empirically-supported parent training prevention intervention - After Deployment Adaptive Parenting Tools (ADAPT) for active-duty families negotiating multiple deployments and high deployment OPTEMPO (an army program that provides critical responses).
The purpose of the proposed study was to develop a family-based drinking prevention intervention for Latino emerging adults (EAs) and Latino parents of EAs. Although drinking rates for Latinos are lower than those for Whites in terms of the prevalence of alcohol use, the consequences of alcohol use (e.g., drunk driving, unplanned/unprotected sex, alcohol-related injuries) appear to be more severe for Latinos, especially those 18-23 years old. The investigators developed a brief (4 session) intervention for each of EAs and parents focused on identity development and parent support for EAs, respectively.
This research investigated the effects of mindfulness practice on mental wellbeing and parenting behaviour, with the instruction recordings delivered via existing instant messaging applications, including Whatsapp and Signal. The two-week mindfulness program targeted parents with children in Nursery, Kindergarten to Primary School. Due to the suspension of schools, work from home policies, parents spend increased amount of time with their children. News reports have indicated that with the mounting care taking responsibilities and downturn of economy amidst the epidemic, parents have been experiencing higher stress that may negatively impact their wellbeing and parent-child relationship. This study delivered an app-based intervention that aims at enhancing mindful parenting at the time of corona, where social distancing is emphasized.
