“…When the results of this study are studied in general, the program appears to be effective on child rearing attitudes and behaviours of Turkish immigrants living in the cities of Mannheim, Hockenheim, Heidelberg, Sinsheim and Bruchsal in Baden-Baden state of Germany. In recent years, it has been observed in the related literature with the studies of action research that there are positive developments in child rearing attitudes of the participants in the family education programs directed to immigrant and non-immigrant parents, (Abrams-Wilson, 2019;Boyoung, 2013;Kaspar, 2016). Also, for family education programs carried out in the world and Turkey, although the number of such studies looking at long-term impacts are rather low, these were found to be successful (Bekman, 1998;Copur & Taylor, 2018;Hamamcı & Sevim, 2004;Kağıtçıbaşı, 1997Kağıtçıbaşı, , 2000Kılıç, 2010).…”

This study, which aims to improve the parental attitudes of Turkish immigrants living in Germany, is designed as an action research. During the study, the managers of the Turkish School-Parents Unions and 37 teachers giving courses to Turkish students living in Germany were interviewed, and the needs of immigrant Turkish parents for child rearing were determined. In line with these needs, a family education program was revised. The program was applied to 602 parents in 34 different group studies. Research data were collected through the letters of the participants of an eight-session program and from a group of 26 people via a focus group interview held 2 years later than the training. Data were analyzed through content analysis and descriptive analysis. According to data obtained after the completion of the family education program, the parents stated that they acquired valuable information on dealing with negative behaviors of their children, on becoming prepared for conflict resolution, anger control, and on getting effective behavior in planning their children's future. During the monitoring phase of the study, the participants stated that they continued to display their acquired behavior in terms of autonomy, communication skills, interpersonal parental communication and of democratic parental attitudes.

“…Moreover, it reduced the MetS-related indices in patients [ 12 ] and notably lowered its risk factors, including body weight [ 8 ] and BMI [ 3 ]. After this intervention, the participants demonstrated enhanced psychosocial factors such as the determination to manage health, self-control [ 8 ], empowerment [ 11 ], and social support [ 8 ]. Although the impact of the PAR on the health-related quality of life has not been validated thus far, it has been reported as a critical psychosocial aspect associated with health in patients with MetS [ 13 ].…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a participatory action research (PAR) on reducing the metabolic syndrome risk factors among the Koran adult women. The effectiveness of the PAR intervention was examined using a one-group pretest-post-test design. The data were collected from 58 adult women living in a community health center in Ulsan, Korea, between May and November 2016. The psychosocial factors (empowerment, social support, and quality of life), metabolic-related indices, and health behaviors were collected to measure the intervention’s efficiency. After applying it, the participants’ empowerment, social support, and health-related quality of life increased significantly, as compared to the pre-test. Furthermore, their metabolic-related indices improved significantly in the post-test, as compared to the pre-test. Therefore, the PAR intervention was found to be effective in enhancing the psychosocial factors, metabolic-related indices, and health behaviors in the aforementioned population and could be applied to other community health centers.
