Preuse Acceptance of a Family-Centered, Need-Based, and Interprofessional Perinatal Care Mobile Health Intervention: Exploratory Study

Preuse Acceptance of a Family-Centered, Need-Based, and Interprofessional Perinatal Care Mobile Health Intervention: Exploratory Study

In 2015, a cross-sectional survey in Germany of over 7500 families with small children showed that around 40% of families have three and more stressors, consisting of biographic, perinatal, and psychosocial measures, cumulatively, whereby at least 25% of participants reported that the parenting role was associated with stress [10]. A vast amount of support services already exist in Germany. The ministry for families, seniors, women, and children even offers web-based services through a family portal [11].

Augmenting Parenting Programs With the Pause Mobile App: Mixed Methods Evaluation

Parenting programs are recommended as the first-line treatment for common mental health problems of childhood such as disruptive behavior disorders and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder [1-3]. In the United Kingdom, such parenting programs are predominantly commissioned or delivered through local government [4]. Provision tends to include groups (whether face-to-face or via video call) and e-learning style asynchronous offerings [4,5].

Impact of a 6-Week Postpartum Text Messaging Program (Essential Coaching for Every Mother) at 6 Months: Follow-Up Study to a Randomized Controlled Trial

The primary outcome was parenting self-efficacy measured using the Karitane Parenting Confidence Scale [14]. This 15-item scale assesses the perceived self-efficacy of mothers with newborns from birth to 12 months of age. Scores can range between 0 and 45 and a score of 39 or less is considered to be clinically low perceived parenting self-efficacy [14].

Optimizing Engagement With a Smartphone App to Prevent Violence Against Adolescents: Results From a Cluster Randomized Factorial Trial in Tanzania

Optimizing Engagement With a Smartphone App to Prevent Violence Against Adolescents: Results From a Cluster Randomized Factorial Trial in Tanzania

Consequently, poor engagement severely limits the potential public health impact of digital parenting interventions [35,36]. Understanding and optimizing engagement in LMIC contexts is thus critical for establishing digital parenting interventions as a scalable violence prevention strategy. Existing studies examining engagement with digital parenting interventions in HICs have largely been descriptive [37,38] or focus on sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics associated with engagement [39-42].

A Primary Care Group Resilience Intervention Promotes Child and Caregiver Behavioral Health

Initially serving children of all ages, this program was redesigned based on significant parent feedback to focus on early childhood (ages 0‐5); the curriculum incorporates Circle of Security-Parenting (building secure attachment) [5] and Dovetail Learning (mindful stress management) [6] in 6 weekly, hour-long group sessions. This study explored whether participation in RC decreased measures of (1) caregiver stress, anxiety, and depression, and (2) child behavioral challenges.

A Digital Parenting Intervention With Intimate Partner Violence Prevention Content: Quantitative Pre-Post Pilot Study

Alongside gender-transformative interventions, in the field of VAC, parenting programs have been identified as a major strategy for reducing and preventing violence [21]. Findings from a recent systematic review of parenting programs for reducing child maltreatment in low- and middle-income countries identified several promising results across child, parent, and family outcomes, with meta-analyses results revealing reductions in child maltreatment and harsh parenting [22].
