The aim of this study was to assess parents' satisfaction and perceived usefulness of the Incredible Years® (IY®) parenting programme in the Child Protection Services (CPS) context, where children's behaviour problems are common. Evidence‐based programmes are rarely offered in CPS, and little is known about how they are perceived by parents. We compared parents (N = 62) with (N = 43) and without (N = 19) CPS contact regarding their satisfaction with the IY® parenting programme, with information gathered from weekly and final evaluation forms. The attendance rate of parents to the weekly sessions (max 19) was also calculated. Comparisons between CPS and non‐CPS clients were analysed using multilevel models. Satisfaction scores ranged between 5.8 and 6.2 (max 7) for all studied domains. Mean attendance rate to the group sessions was 11.5 (SD 5.9), and 74% of participants attended at least nine out of 19 sessions. No group differences emerged in satisfaction or attendance between CPS and non‐CPS parents. Parents in CPS committed well to the programme and found it as useful as parents without CPS contact. IY® appears to be acceptable to parents involved in CPS, and their engagement to the programme can be considered as reasonably good.

父母对在现实生活中拥有儿童保护和其他家庭支持服务的家庭的基于团体的育儿计划的看法

这项研究的目的是在儿童行为问题普遍存在的儿童保护服务（CPS）情况下，评估父母的满意度和“难以置信的年数”（IY®）育儿计划的有用性。CPS中很少提供基于证据的程序，而对于父母如何看待这些程序知之甚少。我们比较了（N = 62）有（N = 43）和没有（N= 19）CPS联系他们对IY®育儿计划的满意度，并从每周和最终评估表中收集信息。还计算了父母每周上课的出席率（最多19人）。使用多级模型分析了CPS和非CPS客户端之间的比较。所有研究领域的满意度得分在5.8到6.2之间（最高7分）。小组会议的平均出席率为11.5（SD5.9），而74％的参与者至少参加了19次会议中的9次。CPS和非CPS父母在满意度或出勤率方面没有出现群体差异。CPS的家长对该计划的承诺很好，并发现它与没有CPS接触的家长一样有用。IY®似乎对参与CPS的父母是可以接受的，因此他们对计划的参与可以被认为是相当不错的。
