Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The Triple P program is a comprehensive system of parenting and family support of multilevel preventive intervention, developed for families with members up to 16 years of age, whose objective is to improve parenting skills and prevent or modify dysfunctional parenting practices, thus reducing Family risk factors that affect both child abuse, behavioral problems and emotional problems.

Detailed Description

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

Based on the importance that evidence-based parental interventions have acquired and the need from the health field to provide innovative alternatives that facilitate access to this type of services, parental support programs given through the web emerge. There is evidence that supports the idea that parenting programs taught through the web have an influence on reducing disruptive behaviors in children.

Triple P Online (TPOL) is an adaptation of the Positive Parenting Program, Triple P, a program that has been empirically tested. This adaptation is a parental intervention through the web with self-directed modality, which is based on Level 4 of the Triple P parental program and is configured in 8 interactive sessions with online modules. The topics covered are: 1) What is Positive Parenting, 2) Reinforcing the behavior we want, 3) Teaching new skills, 4) Managing negative behaviors, 5) Managing disobedience, 6) Preventing problems through planning, 7) Making fun outings, 8) Raising confident and competent children.

The main results observed in the implementation of the online Triple P program are (Sanders et al, 2012): reduction of problem child behavior, dysfunctional parenting styles, increasing parents' confidence in their parenting role, and reduction of parental anger.

Study Groups

Triple P online with professional support

In the online version with professional support, the psychologist in charge will have the role of monitoring the autonomous work of the participants during the 8 sessions, as well as answering questions and doubts that the participants may have regarding the program and its implementation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Triple P online with professional support

Intervention Type OTHER

The psychologist in charge will have the role of monitoring the autonomous work of the participants during the 8 sessions. The psychologist in charge will also verify that the participants are able to complete the online modules week by week, that they understand the contents taught in the module and that they are practicing the tasks and exercises assigned in each of the modules; in addition to generating an action plan in case the participants are not adhering week by week to the self-administration of the program. The follow-up and contact with the families will be carried out by phone and through a weekly email-type messaging system, implemented within the same platform on which the program material is found

Triple P online without professional support

In the version without professional support, the role of the psychologist in charge will be to keep the platform updated so that the person who self-administers the intervention does not have technical problems associated with the platform.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
