ABSTRACT

Although parenting interventions aiming to improve parental RF have been developed, there have been conflicting results in regard to intervention effectiveness. This meta-analytic review seeks to synthesize the available evidence that group-based parenting interventions improve parental RF, in order to provide conclusive evidence regarding their effectiveness. A systematic search was performed to retrieve relevant studies published before November 2019. A total of 15 studies met the selection criteria, of which 3 studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The studies yielded a significant intervention effect with a small pooled effect size (Hedge’s g = 0.279, p = 0.002) on parental RF. However, the pooled effect size of the 3 RCTs was non-significant (pooled effect size: Hedge’s g = 0.189, p = 0.244), indicating that current best evidence is limited. As the heterogeneity test was significant (Q = 32.486, df = 14, p = 0.003), which suggests the presence of heterogeneity among the selected studies, a series of moderator analyses were performed to examine factors that may influence intervention effects. Interventions that involved children in middle childhood had a larger effect size than those involving children in infancy and early childhood.

摘要

尽管已经制定了旨在改善父母 RF 的育儿干预措施，但在干预效果方面存在相互矛盾的结果。本荟萃分析综述旨在综合现有证据表明基于群体的育儿干预措施可改善父母的 RF，以提供有关其有效性的确凿证据。系统检索检索2019年11月之前发表的相关研究。共有15项研究符合选择标准，其中3项研究为随机对照试验（RCT）。这些研究产生了显着的干预效果，合并效应量较小（Hedge 的g = 0.279，p= 0.002) 在父母 RF 上。然而，3 项 RCT 的合并效应大小不显着（合并效应大小：Hedge 的g = 0.189，p = 0.244），表明目前的最佳证据是有限的。由于异质性检验显着（Q = 32.486，df = 14，p = 0.003），这表明所选研究之间存在异质性，因此进行了一系列调节分析以检查可能影响干预效果的因素。涉及儿童中期儿童的干预措施比涉及婴儿期和幼儿期儿童的干预措施具有更大的效果。
