Abstract

Parenting programs aim to motivate change in parents' behaviors, perceptions, and knowledge to promote desirable changes in children's adjustment and behavior. Parenting programs are typically delivered in a group-based or individual format, and it is unknown which format most effectively supports parents. On the one hand, group-based programs may be more effective since they provide access to peer-based support. On the other hand, individual programs may be more successful since they offer a tailored approach. Therefore, this meta-analysis investigated which delivery format is most effective in optimizing child behavior management (i.e., positive reinforcement and nonviolent discipline), parenting stress, and parental depressive symptoms. Studies were selected from the systematic review by Backhaus et al. (2023). Our sample included evaluations of 121 group-based and 41 individual programs based on social learning theory principles. Robust variance estimation indicated that parents' child behavior management and parenting stress improved in both delivery formats. In contrast, parental depressive symptoms improved only in group-based programs. Our findings suggest that whether parents benefit more from a group-based or individual program in part depends on the outcome examined. Therefore, it is important for clinicians to understand parents' goals to effectively guide them toward the most appropriate parenting program delivery format.

集体与个人育儿计划:对父母影响的荟萃分析。
亲职教育计划旨在促使父母改变其行为、观念和知识,从而促进儿童在适应和行为方面发生理想的变化。亲职教育项目通常以小组或个人的形式开展,目前还不清楚哪种形式能最有效地支持家长。一方面,以小组为基础的计划可能更有效,因为它们提供了以同伴为基础的支持。另一方面,个人项目可能更成功,因为它们提供了量身定制的方法。因此,本荟萃分析调查了哪种实施形式在优化儿童行为管理(即正面强化和非暴力管教)、养育压力和父母抑郁症状方面最为有效。研究选自 Backhaus 等人(2023 年)的系统综述。我们的样本包括基于社会学习理论原则的 121 项团体计划和 41 项个人计划的评估。稳健的方差估计表明,在这两种实施形式中,家长的儿童行为管理和养育压力都有所改善。相比之下,家长的抑郁症状只有在团体项目中得到改善。我们的研究结果表明,家长从集体项目还是个人项目中获益更多,部分取决于所考察的结果。因此,临床医生必须了解家长的目标,才能有效地指导他们选择最合适的亲子项目实施形式。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有)。
