A development of parent education model for child abusive parents as conducting Delphi survey

Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this studyistodevelopandpropose a model of parental education for the prevention of child abuse . Methods: 21 previous studies on parental education for child abuse prevention and recurrence were analyzed, and the educational contents presented in the previous studies were extracted into cognitive, emotional, and behavioral areas. Three Delphi surveys including educational needs analysis interviews with five child abuse counselors were conducted, and the final educational model was established based on the results. Results: Experts agreed that cognitive and emotional domains interact to influence behavioral domains, and field experts agreed that for abusive parents to practice what they learned in the training, the training should include a lot of self-reflection and healing. Finally, the final training model was derived by agreeing on the detailed contents of each cognitive, emotional, and behavioral domain for each stage of training. Conclusions: Experts agreed that cognitive and emotional domains interact to influence behavioral domains, and field experts agreed that for abusive parents to practice what they learned in the training, the training should include a lot of self-reflection and healing. Finally, the final training model was derived by agreeing on the detailed contents of each cognitive, emotional, and behavioral domain for each stage of training.
