Abstract

Early parenting programmes which promote nurturing care for children aged 0–3 years are popular in community-based primary health care settings. However, little research has explored the causal and theoretical assumptions underpinning these programmes. This paper outlines a programme theory evaluation which was conducted to explore the change principles inherent in a complex early parenting intervention, the parent and infant programme, which aims to support parents and infants aged 0–2 years. A documentary analysis and qualitative interviews (n = 19) with key stakeholders were undertaken to describe programme components, outline intervention objectives and identify the mechanisms assumed to be important to programme success. The interpretation of the findings was informed by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, within which we explore and describe the theoretical perspectives that underpin the programme and guide its operationalisation and delivery. The importance of attending to the causal mechanisms underlying early parenting interventions is outlined.

理解预防性早期育儿干预的理论基础:基于理论的评估

促进0-3岁儿童养育的早期育儿方案在以社区为基础的初级卫生保健机构中很受欢迎。然而，很少有研究探讨支撑这些计划的因果关系和理论假设。本文概述了一项计划理论评估，该评估旨在探索复杂的早期育儿干预——父母和婴儿计划——内在的变化原则，该计划旨在支持父母和0-2岁的婴儿。对主要利益攸关方进行了文献分析和定性访谈(n = 19)，以描述方案组成部分、概述干预目标和确定被认为对方案成功很重要的机制。对调查结果的解释是由实施研究综合框架提供的，在该框架内，我们探索和描述了支撑该计划并指导其运作和交付的理论观点。本文概述了关注早期育儿干预的因果机制的重要性。

期刊介绍： Performance Evaluation functions as a leading journal in the area of modeling, measurement, and evaluation of performance aspects of computing and communication systems. As such, it aims to present a balanced and complete view of the entire Performance Evaluation profession. Hence, the journal is interested in papers that focus on one or more of the following dimensions: -Define new performance evaluation tools, including measurement and monitoring tools as well as modeling and analytic techniques -Provide new insights into the performance of computing and communication systems -Introduce new application areas where performance evaluation tools can play an important role and creative new uses for performance evaluation tools. More specifically, common application areas of interest include the performance of: -Resource allocation and control methods and algorithms (e.g. routing and flow control in networks, bandwidth allocation, processor scheduling, memory management) -System architecture, design and implementation -Cognitive radio -VANETs -Social networks and media -Energy efficient ICT -Energy harvesting -Data centers -Data centric networks -System reliability -System tuning and capacity planning -Wireless and sensor networks -Autonomic and self-organizing systems -Embedded systems -Network science
