“…Those studies indicated significant differences in attitudes prior the training program ( M = 4.21, SD = 0.29; M = 20.28, SD = 6.67) and 4 months ( M = 4, 57, SD = 0, 21, p < .001) or 6 months ( M = 28.83, SD = 5.34, F (1, 61) = 5.07, p < .05) after the intervention. Additionally, nurses felt increased satisfaction in caring for PwD because their role as nurses was informed and enriched—increasing their ability to realize the full value of patient interaction . Furthermore, after program implementation, attendees reported gains in knowledge regarding the recognition, assessment, and communication with PwD (83%, n = 540) .…”

“…Based on the results of this review, intervention studies have been found to be effective, considering the advancement of knowledge regarding dementia care and the positive change on nurses’ attitudes. Nurses’ roles were defined and enriched by interventions, and their attitudes experienced positive changes. Nurses’ level of knowledge was raised, as they were enabled to respond to behavioral changes and identify early stages of dementia and potential sources of support, after the implementation of the program .…”

“…Marte Meo has a growing evidence base with a host of positive outcomes across various populations with regard to parenting (Osterman, Möller and Wirtberg, ; Vik and Rohde, ) and adult caregiving (Einang Alnes, Kirkevold and Skovdahl, ). The vast majority of research focuses on mothers, and very little research to date has examined the potential benefits of strengthening men's development as fathers and their ability to support the development of their children.…”

A Marte Meo strengths‐based video feedback programme for improving divorced fathers' self‐conceptions and parenting was tested. By identifying and reinforcing fathers' skills in child communication, we hypothesized that fathers would exhibit pre‐post improvements in fathering self‐evaluations and behaviours. Therapists treated eleven divorced fathers with three to five home‐visit, video feedback sessions over twelve months. Data showed reductions in harsh discipline and inept parenting, and some evidence of improvements in efficacy and father involvement. Changes in fathering identity were significantly associated with changes in parental efficacy (r = .47), harsh parenting (r = −.64), and inept parenting (r = −.42). Programme acceptability was rated high on positive experiences and low on negative experiences. The data suggest promise for promoting fathers' effective parenting, quality involvement and self‐conceptions through video feedback. Practitioner points Single fathers are relatively under‐represented in clinical treatment and evidence‐based science relative to practice with mothers and couples This article shows evidence of promise for Marte Meo, a strengths‐based video feedback treatment, to improve parenting skills of at‐risk fathers Reinforcing and building upon existing skills can be a complementary treatment component and/or an alternative to deficit‐based practice

Marte Meo is a video‐based counselling method founded by Maria Aarts in the Netherlands and now in worldwide use (Aarts, Aarts Production, 2008). Marte Meo has been adopted and put into practice by a large and diverse network of trained and certified counsellors across the world. It was invented, developed and spread by a vanguard of practising counsellors who have adapted it to a variety of contexts. This is a classic example of research and theory emerging from and following practice; we first need to synthesise the lessons the practitioners and families have learned. We need to better understand how it is implemented; how it is viewed by its practitioners and recipients; and the extent to which variability in implementation may be an asset or a drawback in the continuing evolution of the programme, and in any eventual attempt to document its effects. Therefore, the present article aimed to address this important and hitherto unexplored research topic of the Marte Meo method in counselling and to describe the current state of use of Marte Meo. How is Marte Meo used and applied in a counselling and therapeutic context? Who uses Marte Meo in professional practice? Which function and which meaning does Marte Meo have in general practice and especially in counselling and therapy? What are typical concerns, goals or areas of application? We report on an ongoing mixed methods research project which began in 2015. This paper focuses on the research methods. We will explain why an integrated exploratory sequential design (Cresswell, 2017) is best suited to our purposes. The exploratory sequential design of the Marte Meo project has five phases: as the first phase, we conducted a systematic literature review, analysing the status of existing research. The staged qualitative research consisted of designing, conducting and analysing semi‐structured interviews with parents and Marte Meo counsellors (phase 2), and then using that analysis to inform the design, the conduct and the analysis of videotaped observations of everyday situations in day‐care centres to examine the process and effects of Marte Meo interaction elements on children (phase 3). Combining these qualitative analyses then became the basis for the development of an online questionnaire that could enable us to collect quantitative data on the current use of Marte Meo in practice by experts (phase 4). This builds into the fifth phase in the final interpretation. One of the key findings of the qualitative parts is that Marte Meo is perceived as advantageous. The experts reported more joy and success in their work. In particular, in the pedagogical context, the daily, resource‐oriented ‘Marte Meo view’, which was sharpened by the training, seems to be essential, as it enables an awareness of the needs of the interaction partners and the beneficial interaction elements. Moreover, for some interviewees the use of Marte Meo does not seem to be limited to professional practice, but is expressed in a general humanistic attitude towards interpersonal relation...
