Selected AbstractsEffectiveness of the Triple P Positive Parenting Program on Parenting: A Meta-AnalysisFAMILY RELATIONS, Issue 5 2008Ireen De Graaf Abstract: Triple P is a parenting program intended to prevent and to provide treatment for severe behavioral, emotional, and developmental problems in children. The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the effectiveness of Triple P Level 4 interventions on parenting styles and parental competency. Level 4 is an intensive training program of 8 , 10 sessions for parents of children with more severe behavioral difficulties. The results indicated that the Triple P Level 4 interventions reduced dysfunctional parenting styles in parents and also improved parental competency. These effects were maintained well through time and appear to support the widespread adoption and implementation of Triple P Level 4 interventions that is taking place in an increasing number of countries around the world.

Sanders This paper draws on learnings from dissemination and diffusion research to discuss predictors of dissemination outcomes, obstacles to effective dissemination, and phases of dissemination failure. A model is presented of effective dissemination of a multilevel system of intervention known as the Triple P-Positive Parenting Program (Triple P). This model takes a systems-contextual approach, addressing program design, skills training, practitioner confidence and self-regulation, and workplace support. Recommendations are made for agencies adopting evidence-based programs, particularly in relation to the selection, establishment and maintenance of new programs as well as guiding ongoing program development. Future directions for research into the dissemination of evidence-based practice are also discussed.

Martin Background: Despite a wealth of evidence showing that behavioural family intervention is an effective intervention for parents of children with behavioural and emotional problems, little attention has been given to the relationship between parents functioning at work and their capacity to manage parenting and other home responsibilities. This study evaluated the effects of a group version of the Triple-P Positive Parenting Program (WPTP) designed specifically for delivery in the workplace. Method: Participants were 42 general and academic staff from a major metropolitan university who were reporting difficulties managing home and work responsibilities and behavioural difficulties with their children. Participants were randomly assigned to WPTP, or to a waitlist control (WL) condition. Results: Following intervention, parents in WPTP reported significantly lower levels of disruptive child behaviour, dysfunctional parenting practices, and higher levels of parental self-efficacy in managing both home and work responsibilities, than parents in the WL condition. These short-term improvements were maintained at 4-months follow-up. There were also additional improvements in reported levels of work stress and parental distress at follow-up in the WPTP group compared to post-intervention. Conclusions: Implications for the development of ,family-friendly' work environments and the prevention of child behaviour problems are discussed. [source] Fidelity in the Field: Developing Infrastructure and Fine-Tuning MeasurementCLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY: SCIENCE AND PRACTICE, Issue 3 2010Amy D. Herschell [Clin Psychol Sci Prac 17: 253,257, 2010] Mazzucchelli and Sanders (2010) provide a thoughtful, detailed, and complex description of how to encourage flexible fidelity to one well-established, evidence-based treatment, the Triple P-Positive Parenting Program. As the authors highlight, many of the "lessons learned" from this wealth of treatment, research, and implementation experience were developed over decades and can be applied to other evidence-based treatments. Underlying many of the recommendations provided by Mazzucchelli and Sanders (2010) is a well-refined infrastructure to support implementation and the need to refine the measurement of fidelity in the field. This commentary will discuss each of those topics. It seems that we have many lessons to learn and hurdles to clear in this emerging area of science, which will be hastened by pioneers like Mazzucchelli and Sanders.

[source] Adherence and Flexibility: They Can (and Do) Coexist!CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY: SCIENCE AND PRACTICE, Issue 3 2010Rex Forehand [Clin Psychol Sci Prac 17: 258,264, 2010] Using their experiences disseminating the Triple P parenting program, Mazzucchelli and Sanders (2010) make a strong case for how flexibility enhances provider satisfaction, critical thinking about intervention delivery, and most importantly, adherence and fidelity. Their article makes an outstanding and innovative contribution to the literature on implementation research, advancing the field to a view of flexibility as a feature that may facilitate adherence. In this commentary, we place Mazzucchelli and Sanders's work within the context of ongoing implementation research. We also call for embedding questions about implementation science into effectiveness trials to better inform dissemination efforts aimed at facilitating provider adoption and adherence to empirically supported treatments. [source] Paternal Identity, Maternal Gatekeeping, and Father Involvement,FAMILY RELATIONS, Issue 3 2005Brent A. McBride Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine whether mothers' beliefs about the role of the father may contribute to mothers influencing the quantity of father involvement in their children's lives. Participants were 30 two-parent families with children between the ages of 2 and 3 years. A combination of self-report and interview data were collected from both mothers and fathers. Results from multiple regression analyses indicated that fathers' perceived investments in their parental roles and actual levels of paternal involvement are moderated by mothers' beliefs about the role of the father. Findings are discussed in terms of implications for future research on parenting identity and maternal gatekeeping as well as the development of parenting programs for fathers. [source] | ||||||||||
