An analysis of two evidence-based parent training programmes and determination of the characteristics for a new programme model
Click Here Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing, 2013, 20, 176–185
The Triple P and Incredible Years are the two best (well-known) parent programmes which cooperate with families and the society, reduce the risk factors and support theprotective factors. The programmes also offer a multidisciplinary approach with highevidence standards, use randomized controlled studies and yield long-term results. A literature review was conducted in order to evaluate the efficacy of these two programmes, to determine the (similarities) and differences. Consequently, results of 49 studies were presented, which were evaluated according to certain criteria such as samples, methods and results. The studies on the Triple P and the Incredible Years Parent Program illustrated a decrease in problematic behaviours of the children and negative parenting practices of parents following the implementation of programmes. However, the studies also pointed out the differences between the Triple P and the Incredible Years Parent Program. It is recommended that a new parent education programme be prepared and tested for our country in accordance with the results of the study.
Behavior Support Interventions Implemented by Families of Young Children: Examination of Contextual Fit
Click Here Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 14(2) 87–97, 2012
Families are increasingly involved in the implementation of behavior support interventions to promote positive behaviors of young children in everyday family settings. Contextual fit, described as congruence between the behavior support intervention and the values, skills, resources, and routines of those who will implement the intervention, has been associated with the effectiveness and sustainability of the intervention. We analyzed studies published in the Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions from 1999 to 2009 in which families of young children ages 3 through 8 years implemented behavior support interventions.
Building Evidence for a Prevention-Focused Education Program Targeting Parents of Infants and Toddlers
Click Here Journal of Family Social Work, 15:272–287, 2012
Outcome measures indicated that parents who attended the workshop series showed significant improvement despite having limited resources and a greater number of risk factors. Results suggest that arming parents with knowledge and skills around parenting may lead to increased parenting self-efficacy, potentially reducing risk of child maltreatment and fostering more supportive and responsive parenting.
Cost-Savings Analysis of a Statewide Parenting Education Program in Child Welfare, A
Click Here Research on Social Work Practice, 22(6) 615-625, 2012
Results: The benefit-cost ratio of 0.87 demonstrates that the Nurturing Parenting Program (NPP) approaches cost neutrality in a short time period, without the consideration of long-term benefits or benefits to other systems. Conclusion: Louisiana’s child welfare department should be able to absorb all costs of statewide delivery of the NPP through observed reductions in repeat maltreatment. Targeted program delivery could potentially yield even greater savings.
Effect of Behavioral Family Intervention on Knowledge of Effective Parenting Strategies, The
See Intervention page for article. J Child Fam Stud (2012) 21:881–890
Results suggest that for optimal outcomes for parenting and child behavior management more knowledgeable parents may benefit from interventions that focus on practice and consolidation of already learned skills in order to increase confidence whereas for less knowledgeable parents the teaching of new skills and strategies, alongside increasing confidence, are important.

Evaluation of a Program to Educate Disadvantaged Parents to Enhance Child Learning

This study reported a pilot trial of the Hands-On Parent Empowerment (HOPE) program, a 30-session program designed to instruct parents from disadvantaged backgrounds how to teach learning skills to their preschool children…The results indicated a significant decrease in parent-reported child behavior problems and parental stress, an increase in Performance IQ and vocabulary knowledge among the children. These improvements were also observed by preschool principals.
Evidence-Based Principles for Choosing Programs To Serve Parents in the Child Welfare System
Click Here Administration in Social Work, 37:106–119, 2013
Summarized here as criteria and questions to ask when choosing a program, the research evidence about services to parents in the child welfare system reveals three core principles: the parenting program fits the child welfare system, demonstrates specific accountability, and supports parental efficacy through engagement, empowerment, and leadership.
Impact of Adlerian-Based Parenting Classes on Self-Reported Parental Behavior, The
Click Here The Journal of Individual Psychology, Vol. 65, No. 3, Fall 2009
Parent-guardians reported statistically significant changes in behavior: setting clearer limits, increasing their sense of positive connection, and decreasing harshness. These changes toward a more authoritative parenting style (based on parent report of their own behaviors) were statistically significant. The greatest changes were in younger parents, women, those with the lowest income, and those with fewer children. Results were also useful for the parent educators in assessing their teaching.
Individual and Group Effects in a Community-Based Implementation of a Positive Parenting Program
Click Here Research on Social Work Practice, 23(1) 46-56, 2013.
Results: Inductive parenting increased and coercive and permissive-neglecting parenting decreased over the intervention and the proportion of change was influenced by family structure, parents’ gender and group composition. Low-risk groups and mixed (at-risk and non at-risk) groups did better than medium/high-risk groups in changing inductive and coercive practices whereas all groups did well in changing permissive/neglecting practices. Conclusion: To test the effectiveness of a group-based intervention requires taking into account both individual and group sources of variation in the implementation process.

This article brings together evidence about the most promising programs from other child service sectors with information about the current parent training approaches in child welfare and generates a range of proposals about next steps to enhance the capacity of parent training and fulfill the high expectations set in law and practice.
Rebuilding relationships: A pilot study of the effectiveness of the Mellow Parenting Programme for children with Reactive Attachment Disorder
Click Here Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry 16(1) 73–87, 2011
The programme had a positive effect on mothers’ mental health, but had no measurable effects on symptoms of RAD or on parent–child interaction, although the variation between families after the group suggested that some had responded more than others. Mellow Parenting is an effective programme for vulnerable families with younger children and may be a useful adjunct in the treatment of school-age children with RAD, but it cannot be considered a definite treatment for RAD in this age group. The search continues for safe and effective treatments for RAD in school-age children.
Shared experience: An early intervention programme for vulnerable families is giving mothers time to reflect on their style of parenting.
Click Here Nursing Standard, August 22, vol 26 (51), 2012
An innovative parenting programme in Luton is supporting vulnerable families by helping mothers to interact positively with their children and recognise the past experiences that have influenced their parenting styles. Nurses who facilitate the programme’s group sessions are required to share personal experiences with the other participants and reflect on their own parenting.
Wide Awake Parenting: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial of a parenting program for the management of post-partum fatigue
See Postpartum page for article. BMC Public Health 2013, 13:26
To our knowledge this is the first randomised controlled trial of a program which compares the efficacy of a self-management approach and health professional assistance for the management of fatigue in the early post-partum period. If effective, it could offer an important, universal public health management approach to this common health concern.
