Support Over Silence for KIDS is a training program that equips bystanders with confidence and skills to defuse challenging moments between caregivers and their children in public. The purpose of this study was to assess the satisfaction with and effectiveness of Support Over Silence for KIDS within three training settings: a community organization, university, and children’s hospital. Participants completed pre-program and follow-up assessments to capture demographic characteristics and change in behaviors, attitudes, self-efficacy, and perceived barriers related to bystander intervention. Participants completed an immediate post-program questionnaire to assess program satisfaction and post-program intentions. Univariate statistics were used to describe the demographic characteristics of the sample, bystander behaviors, and program satisfaction. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to assess change between pre-program and follow-up. Sixty-six adults participated in the training program. Favorable outcomes were demonstrated at post-program for satisfaction with the program, future bystander intentions, and self-efficacy for bystander intervention. At follow-up, participants reported more favorable attitudes toward bystander intervention and significantly increased self-efficacy for intervention despite acknowledged barriers. Participants reported increased bystander intervention; at follow-up, none of the participants reported avoiding a challenging moment between a caregiver and their child in public. Support Over Silence for KIDS was effective in promoting supportive bystander intervention with caregivers navigating challenging interactions with their children in public. A bystander training program may help community members, university students, and hospital personnel respond in a positive way to caregiver struggles and create an environment where caregivers and their children feel supported.

Support Over Silence for KIDS 是一项培训计划，旨在为旁观者提供信心和技能，以化解看护者和他们的孩子在公共场合之间的挑战性时刻。本研究的目的是评估在三个培训环境中为 KIDS 提供支持而不是沉默的满意度和有效性：社区组织、大学和儿童医院。参与者完成了计划前和后续评估，以捕捉人口统计特征以及与旁观者干预相关的行为、态度、自我效能和感知障碍的变化。参与者立即完成项目后问卷调查，以评估项目满意度和项目后意图。单变量统计用于描述样本的人口统计特征、旁观者行为和项目满意度。Wilcoxon 符号秩检验用于评估程序前和随访之间的变化。六十六名成年人参加了培训计划。在项目结束后，对项目的满意度、未来的旁观者意图和旁观者干预的自我效能表现出良好的结果。在后续行动中，参与者报告了对旁观者干预的更积极态度，并且尽管存在公认的障碍，但干预的自我效能显着提高。参与者报告说旁观者干预有所增加；在随访中，没有一个参与者报告说在公共场合避免了看护者和他们的孩子之间的挑战性时刻。Support Over Silence for KIDS 有效地促进了旁观者的支持性干预，看护者在公共场合与孩子进行具有挑战性的互动。
