Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The evaluation of the PPST will assess both the fidelity of the intervention's implementation, as well as the outcomes of the programme in a randomised controlled trial. Programme facilitators and intervention group participants will provide data for the former. For the outcome evaluation, two types of participants will be recruited who will provide self-report data: primary caregivers (n = 80) and where possible another adult living in the home with this primary caregiver and their selected child (n = 60). This "other adult" data will serve to verify the primary caregivers' self-report data. Both participants will provide demographic information, and report on parenting behaviour and child behaviour. Their data will be analysed separately in intention to treat analyses and secondary analyses which consider moderators of programme effectiveness.

Participants assigned to the intervention group will receive the Positive Parenting Skills Training.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Positive Parenting Skills Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This parenting programme is delivered by facilitators from the Parent Centre. It is intended for any caregivers of children between the ages of 6-12 years. It consists of seven weekly 3-hour sessions, and is group-based. Once the group size reaches 20 or more people sessions are co-facilitated. The first session provides an overview of the programme. The remaining sessions consider topics including: factors that affect child behaviour, understanding children's feelings, building children's self-esteem, assertive parenting, gaining child-co-operation, effective discipline, and problem solving. The programme is knowledge-based and encourages the development of various parenting skills through the inclusion of experiential activities (e.g., role-plays and homework practice).

Wait-list control

Participants assigned to the wait-list control group will receive no intervention for the duration of this trial. Only after the one-year follow-up assessment has been completed will they receive the Positive Parenting Skills Training.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
