ABSTRACT

Group-based parenting programs can effectively improve parenting and child wellbeing; however, these programs are predominantly attended by mothers. Actively involving both parents has the potential to maximize program outcomes, as it allows the coparenting relationship to be targeted alongside parenting practices. Researchers suggest that one way of achieving this is to integrate coparenting content into existing, evidence-based parenting programs. Tuning in to Kids is an emotion-focused parenting program that provides an effective foundation for adaptation, given the benefits of the program and the nature of the content (i.e., parents learn the skill of emotion coaching that may also benefit the coparenting relationship). This paper outlines the process of adapting Tuning in to Kids through the integration of coparenting content and increased focus on the family system. The process was guided by the Medical Research Council framework for complex intervention development (i.e., identifying the evidence, developing a theoretical model, modeling the intervention process) and resulted in the development of Tuning in to Kids Together (TIK-Together). The program adaptation was designed to target Australian coparents and was informed by Australian evidence. TIK-Together aims to improve the coparenting relationship, in addition to supporting parenting practices and child emotional development.

摘要

以小组为基础的育儿计划可以有效地改善育儿和孩子的幸福感；然而，这些课程主要由母亲参加。让父母双方积极参与有可能最大限度地提高计划成果，因为它允许共同养育关系与养育实践一起成为目标。研究人员建议，实现这一目标的一种方法是将共同养育内容整合到现有的循证养育计划中。Tuning in to Kids 是一项以情绪为中心的育儿计划，考虑到该计划的好处和内容的性质（即父母学习情绪指导的技能，这也可能有益于共同养育关系），它为适应提供了有效的基础。本文概述了通过整合共同育儿内容和更加关注家庭系统来调整 Tuning in to Kids 的过程。该过程由医学研究委员会复杂干预开发框架（即，识别证据、开发理论模型、干预过程建模）指导，并导致开发了 Tuning in to Kids Together (TIK-Together)。该计划的改编旨在针对澳大利亚的共同父母，并以澳大利亚的证据为依据。除了支持育儿实践和儿童情感发展外，TIK-Together 旨在改善共同育儿关系。开发一个理论模型，对干预过程进行建模），并导致了 Tuning in to Kids Together (TIK-Together) 的发展。该计划的改编旨在针对澳大利亚的共同父母，并以澳大利亚的证据为依据。除了支持育儿实践和儿童情感发展外，TIK-Together 旨在改善共同育儿关系。开发一个理论模型，对干预过程进行建模），并导致了 Tuning in to Kids Together (TIK-Together) 的发展。该计划的改编旨在针对澳大利亚的共同父母，并以澳大利亚的证据为依据。除了支持育儿实践和儿童情感发展外，TIK-Together 旨在改善共同育儿关系。
