Filter by:By integrating sexuality and disability literatures, theories, and research methodologies, this study aims to: 1) contribute to the limited knowledge professionals have of parents as the primary sexuality educators; 2) create a resource for parents in order to be sexuality educators for their young adults with I/DD; and 3) evaluate the effectiveness of the Home B.A.S.E. for Developmental Disabilities Curriculum. In order to meet the objectives the study seeks to answer the following questions: 1. What is the effectiveness of a sexuality education workshop for parents of young adults with DS on improving the self-efficacy and attitudes around sexuality and healthy relationships for young adults with DS as well as increase the parent-child communication on sexuality topics? 2. What are parents' concerns that impact their ability to be the primary sexuality educators for their young adults with DS? It is proposed that parent confidence and comfort talking about sexuality topics with their young adult with Down syndrome will increase thereby increasing the parent-child communication as a result of this study.
This study aims to analyze whether the course of infant massage serves as a tool to improve acceptance, commitment and awareness of influence of parents of babies with Down syndrome. These variables will be measure before and after the course of infant massage in the experimental group, investigators will make measurements with the same rate in the control group, but they will receive the course after the measurements.
The goal is to pilot a parent-mediated intervention for feeding challenges in children with autism building on recent research and current successful models already being used. A parent-mediated intervention would primarily occur in the home environment, working with the parent to establish goals and implement the intervention based on their child's specific needs.
Key research question This project addresses the following key research question: What are the short and long term effects on child and family outcomes of a universal intervention delivered by a Health Visitor addressing the newborn´s behavior in a shared observation with the parents (NBO)? The aim is to enhance the parent's sensitivity to their infants' unique capacities and thereby create an early parental understanding for the individual infant's strengths as well as its needs. Hypothesis concerning main outcomes Universal Health Visiting with facilitation of the early relationship building introduced by the NBO to an intervention group of new families will- when compared to a control group of new families who receive health visitor support as usual: - Improve sensitive responsive parenting to the infant's behavior, needs for feeding and comfort, and rise understanding of parental influence on the infants' self-regulatory capacities - Increase parental confidence and reduce experiences of stress and symptoms of depression among new mothers and fathers - Improve the infant's self-regulatory capacities regarding sleep, crying, feeding and engaging in social interactions, being more cooperative - Enhance the sensitive early parent/infant relationship - Improve exclusive breastfeeding duration and delay introduction to solid food Method The project is formed as a community based randomized trial. The complexity in community based intervention research is the existence of two target groups, in this case: 1) the primary study population of new parents that receive the supportive intervention and 2) the secondary study population of Health Visitors that deliver the supportive intervention. The complication of catching the effects in a universal approach will be addressed through a variety of outcomes that capture both the aspect and the development of the infant, the mother and the father and the interactions. Recruitment and randomization Four medium-sized municipalities will join in the trial. To avoid side-effects the districts of the Health Visitors in the participating municipalities will be regarded as clusters. A restricted randomization procedure is decided to achieve balance in the two study arms because of a relatively small number of clusters (n=17) with huge differences in birth rate. The criteria for the restricted randomization is a geographical balance with all participating municipalities represented by both intervention and comparison districts and a numerical balance with expected number of births attempted between the intervention and comparison group. An external data manager performed the entire procedure. Study population The primary study population is formed by new families, mothers and fathers and their infant/s. Substantiated in that we are operating with a community based universal intervention with no side effects and we seek to measure the effect in a natural population we will have no exclusion criteria except parents or infants affiliated to special treatment elsewhere. In the study population of new parents there will be subgroups: First time parents will represent around 40 %, around 6 % will have given premature birth, 2% twin birth, 10-14% of the mothers and 7-8% of the fathers will suffer from birth depression in the postnatal period, and 7-20% will have a cultural background other than Danish depending on geographical area. A subgroup of 100 first-time mothers in each group of intervention and comparison are drawn consecutively among responders for video recording in the middle of the project period after specified characteristic criteria with regard to first-time-, depressed- and given premature birth. Data and data-collection Data will be collected from two sources: (1) self-reported data from the new parents collected via questionnaire; (2) observational data from video recordings, Infant CARE-Index. Questionnaire data will be delivered and collected though an internet based system. Participating mothers and fathers will receive separate questionnaires at 1-2 weeks postpartum (baseline data), 3 months postpartum, 9 months follow-up, 18 months follow-up. Videos are recorded at 3 months post-partum (corrected age for premature infants) with 3 minutes of unstructured time together; (Infant CARE Index). All data will be linked via the Danish Personal Register (CPR) identifier. To minimize bias introduced by data collection, data will be collected in the same way and with the same timing in the intervention and comparison groups. Data Analysis Intention to treat analysis will be used to detect the effect of the community based intervention where motivation and participation may vary in both the primary and secondary study population. Supplemental analysis will be performed to identify an intervention effect for subgroups and marginal groups of parents according to parity, preterm delivery, and depression symptoms.
This study evaluate if a parental guidance programme based on the International Child Development Programme (ICDP) offered to the general Norwegian population, has an effect on caregivers, the relationship between caregiver and child, and on children's Development.
This randomized controlled trial will use a longitudinal repeated-measures design to examine the effects of two interventions, behavioral support interventions and a parent-infant transactional program, on parents' stress, PPD and sleep quality, parent-infant interactions, and their preterm infants' stress (saliva cortisol levels), sleep patterns, emotional regulation, and neurobehavioral developmental outcomes from 7 days to 2 years corrected age.
The PANJO study aims to evaluate, within the French public health services, the impact of a home visitors training on parent-child attachment, families outcomes, use of services and child maltreatment indicators.
This is a Stage III community-based randomized clinical efficacy trial testing Mothering from the Inside Out (MIO), the first evidence-based parenting intervention designed to be delivered by addiction counselors in addiction treatment settings where parents of young children are enrolled in treatment.
This study examines the effect of skin-to-skin contact between father and newborn on the father-neonate attachment relationship. By block randomization, participants were allocated to an experimental (n=41) or a control group (n=42).
The objective of this study is to evaluate and explore the effectiveness of Play2Sleep on families of infants with infant sleep disturbances.
