“…Previous evaluations of group parenting interventions have reported effect sizes in the region of 0.34 (Barlow et al, 2014) in favour of the intervention group. Sample size calculations were conducted using Optimal Design, version 3.01 and based on a two-level cluster design.…”

“…Parenting programmes can help to improve: parent responsiveness; parent child interactions and parenting confidence (Barlow, Smailagic, Huband, Roloff & Bennett, 2014). They have been shown to contribute to a reduction in negative parenting practices, parent anxiety and depression (Barlow, Coren, & Stewart-Brown, 2003;Barlow, Smailagic, Bennett, Huband, Jones, & Coren, 2011;Furlong, McGilloway, Bywater, Hutchings, Smith, Donnelly & O'Neill, 2012) as well as positively impact on the emotional and behavioural adjustment of children (Barlow, Smailagic, Ferriter, Bennett, & Jones, 2010;.…”

“…Consequently, a number of systematic reviews -aimed at summarising this research -have been carried out (Barlow et al, 2014;Barlow et al, 2010;Barlow & Underdown, 2005;Thomas, Camiletti, Cava, Feldman, Underwood & Wade, 1999) providing convincing evidence that parenting programmes are an effective way of improving both parent and child outcomes. Fostering a strong, good quality parent-child relationship in the very early years -based on a secure attachment relationship (Fonagy, 1998;Bowlby, 1988) -is key to the healthy social, emotional and behavioural development of the child, and to the child forming secure relationships later in life (Barlow et al, 2010;Warren, Huston, Egeland & Sroufe, 1997).…”

Questionnaire data from two projects on the development of quality assurance instruments for an inpatient rehabilitation/prevention program for parents were used for a secondary analysis. In this analysis, the associations of gains in a psychosocial resource (parenting self-efficacy) and two types of stressors experienced by mothers at the start of treatment (parenting hassles, depressive symptoms) with general life satisfaction and satisfaction with health at the end of treatment were explored. Structural equation modeling was applied to data from N = 1724 female patients. Potential resource-stressor interactions were tested using the Latent Moderated Structural Equations approach. Results showed that parenting hassles were negatively associated with general life satisfaction and satisfaction with health while self-efficacy gains were weakly positively correlated with both variables. No interaction of parenting hassles and self-efficacy gains was found. Depressive symptoms were negatively associated with both satisfaction measures. In these models, selfefficacy gains were not substantially correlated with life satisfaction, but showed a small association with satisfaction with health. There was no significant interaction of depressive symptoms and self-efficacy gains. The findings imply that interventions for distressed mothers-as exemplarily illustrated by this inpatient setting-should focus on identifying and reducing initial stressors as these may continue to impair mothers' subjective health despite gains in parenting-related resources.

“…Parental psychosocial health can have a significant effect on the parent-child relationship, with consequences for the later psychological health of the child and the family. Barlow, Smailagic, Huband, Roloff, and Bennett (2014) found that group-based PTPs led to statistically significant improvements in depression, anxiety, stress, anger, guilt, and negative or harsh parenting practice, whether assessed by both parents or assessed independently. There were also positive improvements in confidence, satisfaction with partner relationship, parental mental health and positive parenting skills.…”

Introduction: This longitudinal case-controlled study examined the effects of universal parent-focused interventions on parents' perceived competence in terms of parental efficacy and satisfaction. Method:The study sample consisted of parents from northern Sweden in the general population who participated in parent training programmes from 2010 to 2013, and a matched-comparison group. All parents had children aged 0-17. Sense of competence was measured by the Parenting Sense of Competence Scale at pre-and post-intervention and six months after the intervention. Results:The intervention group showed a statistically significant improvement in parental competence compared to the comparison group over time. The intervention itself had a significant effect on parental satisfaction, but the efficacy effect was not sustained when taking into account potential confounders. Conclusions:Earlier studies indicate that parent training programmes enhance perceived parental competence amongst referred parents. The present study shows that parent training programmes applied in the general population may also enhance perceived parental satisfaction, suggesting that parent training programmes can be an important preventive strategy to enhance parental feelings of satisfaction in the wider population. The results suggest that parents who participate in parent training programmes might have a need to increase parental competence, based on lower scores than the comparison group, both before and after the intervention.
