Enhancing home-based child care quality through video-feedback intervention: A randomized controlled trial.

Abstract

In the present randomized controlled trial, the effectiveness of video-feedback intervention to promote positive parenting-child care (VIPP-CC) was tested in home-based child care. Forty-eight caregivers were randomly assigned either to the intervention group or to the control group. Global child care quality improved in the intervention group but not in the control group. The program did not change observed caregiver sensitivity. After the intervention however, caregivers in the intervention group reported a more positive attitude toward sensitive caregiving than caregivers in the control group. The study shows that the family-based intervention can be applied with some minor modifications in a professional group setting as well. The brief VIPP-CC program is an important tool for enhancing quality of home-based child care.

Effective preventive interventions to support parents of young children: Illustrations from the Video-feedback Intervention to promote Positive Parenting and Sensitive Discipline (VIPP-SD)

“…VIPP-SD has also been adapted to be used in family childcare and daycare centers (Groeneveld, Vermeer, Van IJzendoorn, & Linting, 2011;Werner, Vermeer, Linting, & Van IJzendoorn, 2016). In this adaptation, the video feedback intervention does not focus on one caregiver and one child but on one caregiver interacting with several children.…”

“…Caregivers are deemed to be sensitive when they are able to provide the children in their charge with ongoing emotional support, correctly interpret their signals and respond to their needs appropriately. The sensitivity scale has been widely used in diverse research studies to assess the sensitivity of attachment figures (Groeneveld et al, , 2011(Groeneveld et al, , 2012b.…”

An attachment-based intervention for parents of adolescents at risk: mechanisms of change

“…Emotionally focused therapies have been shown to be effective in reducing the severity of problems across a range of individual and couples problems (e.g., Greenberg, 2011;Johnson & Wittenborn, 2012). Among infants and young children, attachment based video feedback interventions (Steele et al, 2014) have been found to promote maternal sensitivity and reduce problem behaviors in children, particularly those with a reactive temperament (BakermansKranenburg, van IJzendoorn, Mesman, Alink, & Juffer, 2008;Groeneveld, Vermeer, van Ijzendoorn, & Linting, 2011;Klein Velderman, Bakermans-Kranenburg, Juffer, & van IJzendoorn, 2006;Moss et al, 2014). The Circle of Security program (Marvin, Cooper, Hoffman, & Powell, 2002) has also been shown to enhance parental sensitivity, resulting in significant increases in attachment security and reductions in child behavior problems (Cassidy et al, 2010;Hoffman, Marvin, Cooper, & Powell, 2006).…”
