Interpersonal violence is a significant concern for families; thus interventions to support vulnerable mothers and children experiencing violence are essential. The purpose of this study was to present preliminary evaluation results from the national dissemination of an interpersonal violence intervention for mothers delivered in community-based programs across Canada. In 18 communities, 184 mothers participated in the intervention. Mothers reported on measures related to the self, relationships, parenting, and knowledge of community services, both before and after the intervention. Mothers comprised a high-risk, vulnerable population. Results indicated feasibility and acceptability, based on a high proportion of intervention completers and high levels of satisfaction. Women reported improvements in self-esteem, self-efficacy, relationship capacity, parenting stress, knowledge of community services, and understanding of relevant concepts compared to before the intervention (with small to medium effects). Additional analyses supported some of these findings as particularly robust. We discuss the importance of community-based projects in reaching diverse families, sustaining engagement with high levels of satisfaction, and supporting mothers in making changes relating to themselves, their relationships, and their parenting.

国家对社区中遭受暴力侵害的母​​亲实施基于社区的干预措施。

人际暴力是家庭的重大关切；因此，必须采取干预措施来支持脆弱的遭受暴力的母亲和儿童。这项研究的目的是提供全国范围内针对加拿大社区计划中针对母亲的人际暴力干预措施的全国性传播的初步评估结果。在18个社区中，有184位母亲参加了干预。在干预前后，母亲们报告了有关自我，人际关系，育儿和社区服务知识的措施。母亲是高风险，脆弱的人群。结果表明可行性和可接受性是基于较高的干预完成者比例和较高的满意度。妇女报告自尊，自我效能，与干预之前相比，关系能力，育儿压力，对社区服务的了解以及对相关概念的理解（影响中等到中等）。进一步的分析支持了其中一些发现，因为这些发现特别可靠。我们讨论了以社区为基础的项目对覆盖不同家庭，保持高度满意的参与以及支持母亲进行与自身，家庭关系和育儿有关的改变的重要性。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。我们讨论了以社区为基础的项目对覆盖不同家庭，保持高度满意的参与以及支持母亲进行与自身，家庭关系和育儿有关的改变的重要性。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。我们讨论了以社区为基础的项目对覆盖不同家庭，保持高度满意的参与以及支持母亲进行与自身，家庭关系和育儿有关的改变的重要性。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
