ABSTRACT In this pilot study, we examined whether a 2-day Emotion-Focused Family Therapy workshop strengthened parental self-efficacy, satisfaction and beliefs regarding their ability to help their children regulate emotions and reduce the children’s symptoms of behavioural- or psychological difficulties. Twenty-three caretakers with 17 children (9 boys) aged 6 to 12 years old completed the workshop. Pre, post and 3-month follow-up data on the Parents` Beliefs About Children`s Emotions – Guidance scale and Parenting Sense of Competence scale, as well as pre and 3-month follow-up data on the Child Behaviour Checklist parent form, were used to assess the effects of the intervention. Parental self-efficacy significantly increased, the caretakers` satisfaction in the parenting role significantly increased but faded after 3 months and the caretakers` beliefs that children can guide their emotions on their own were significantly reduced. Finally, oppositional defiant problems in the children significantly declined.

为有 6-12 岁孩子的父母举办的以情绪为中心的家庭治疗工作坊提高了父母的自我效能

摘要 在这项试点研究中，我们检查了为期 2 天的以情绪为中心的家庭治疗研讨会是否增强了父母的自我效能感、满意度和信念，以帮助他们的孩子调节情绪并减少孩子的行为或心理障碍症状。23 名看护人带着 17 名 6 至 12 岁的儿童（9 名男孩）完成了工作坊。家长对孩子情绪的信念——指导量表和育儿能力感量表的前、后和三个月的随访数据，以及儿童行为检查表家长表格上的前、后和三个月的随访数据，用于评估干预的效果。父母自我效能感显着提高，看护人对育儿角色的满意度显着增加，但在 3 个月后下降，看护人认为孩子可以自行引导情绪的信念显着降低。最后，儿童的对立违抗问题显着减少。
