Filter by:Children with externalizing problem behaviour are at risk of developing educational impairment, because of their problems in rule following, social behaviour and attention. This behaviour represents a great challenge for teacher. In addition, time pressures and conflicts with colleagues are the most common sources of stress for teachers. Till now teachers receive no evaluated training which in particular regards externalizing problem behaviour. Therefore we develop and evaluate an indicated prevention program for elementary school teachers with children with externalizing problem behaviour. All teachers of a participating school are given a general overview of externalizing problem behaviour (etiology, diagnosis) and information on evidence-based treatments for children with externalizing problem behaviour in school settings. Single teachers will then participate in a 12 week coaching in which they learn to apply classroom management techniques, strategies to improve their relationships with children, behaviour modification techniques and cognitive interventions to specific target children. The coaching intervention is based on functional behavioural analysis and provides teachers with evidence-based strategies which focuses on one target child. Longitudinal data will be collected in a within-subject control group design. Dependent measures include teacher and observer reports.
The objective of this study is to conduct a randomized control trial to evaluate the impact of Triple P on the clinic practice of pediatric residents and on select parent and child outcomes. This study will accomplish that overarching goal through addressing two specific aims. Aim 1. Triple P's Effect on Pediatric Resident's Practice: test the effect of Triple P training on practice of pediatric residents in addressing and managing psychosocial problems. Hypothesis 1: At the completion of the trial, residents assigned to the intervention group, compared to residents exposed to the control condition, will have: 1. increased skill levels, 2. increased confidence, and 3. increased satisfaction in dealing with and managing psychosocial issues Aim 2. Triple P's Effect on Parent and Child Outcomes: test the effect of Triple P interventions on parent's feelings of self efficacy, parent's discipline strategies and on children's externalizing behavior. Hypothesis 2: At the completion of the intervention, parents and children receiving the intervention, compared to those receiving the control condition, will have: 1. greater reduction in targeted child behavior problems, 2. greater reduction in dysfunctional parenting practices, 3. increased use of appropriate discipline and positive parenting strategies, and 4. greater confidence in parenting ability.
The hypothesis of the study is that the intervention leads to a reduction in foster children's externalizing problems and foster parents' parenting stress and that this in turn leads to a reduction in the number of breakdowns of foster placements.
The specific aims of this study are: - To determine the prevalence of bullying in children who present to the ED with behavioral symptoms - To assess mental health diagnoses and their relationship to type, severity and frequency of bullying behaviors, as well as demographic and psychosocial correlates (socioeconomic status, stress and support) and their relationship to type, severity and frequency of bullying (bullies versus victims). - To explore the attitudes, values, triggering events and potential solutions using qualitative methods - To gain greater insight into the patient experience and perceptions of the bullying events
