Abstract

Purpose: This study evaluated the effectiveness of an eight-session universal parent training program for working parents using a parallel cluster randomized controlled trial design. The program was facilitated by preschool-based social workers in preschools. Method: Participants included 242 parents of children attending 16 preschools under the Pilot Scheme on Social Work Service for Pre-Primary Institutions, with 150 (seven preschools) randomly allocated to the intervention group and 92 (nine preschools) to the waitlist control group, with no blinding. Participants completed questionnaires on their parenting stress, parenting practices and emotion coaching (primary outcomes), and children's behavior problems (secondary outcomes). The study was registered with the ISRCTN registry (39415). Results: Mixed effects regression analysis (intention-to-treat) with preschool as a random factor indicated a significant decrease in over-reactivity, and an improvement in emotion coaching. Conclusions: The results provided promising research on the effectiveness of a preschool-based parenting program for working parents.

在职父母的育儿和儿童行为学前教育项目:聚类随机对照试验

目的:本研究采用平行聚类随机对照试验设计，评估八期通用父母培训计划对在职父母的有效性。该计划是由幼儿园的社会工作者推动的。方法:242名就读于“学前机构社会工作服务先导计划”16所幼稚园的儿童家长，其中150名(7所幼稚园)被随机分配到干预组，92名(9所幼稚园)被随机分配到候补对照组，无盲法。参与者完成了关于育儿压力、育儿实践和情绪指导(主要结果)以及孩子行为问题(次要结果)的问卷调查。该研究已在ISRCTN注册中心注册(39415)。结果:以学前教育为随机因素的混合效应回归分析(意向-治疗)表明，过度反应性显著降低，情绪指导显著改善。结论:本研究结果为在职父母学前教育项目的有效性提供了有希望的研究。

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
