Trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are highly prevalent in military and veteran populations and are associated with parenting difficulties. Unfortunately, there is a lack of accessible, trauma-informed, and evidence-based parenting support interventions within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Strength at Home-Parents (SAHP) is a trauma-informed psychotherapy group that aims to improve parenting behaviors and overall parent-child and family functioning among U.S. military veterans with PTSD symptoms. SAHP was developed to maximize ease of use by VA providers and accessibility for parents. Here we report data from an uncontrolled trial of SAHP delivered using synchronous video technology in a sample of veterans using VA care (N = 53) who met the criteria for PTSD and parent-child functioning difficulties. Enrollment and retention rates met study goals and suggest feasibility and acceptability of study methods. Significant pre- to postintervention improvements were observed in measures of dysfunctional discipline, parenting stress, general family functioning, child psychosocial functioning, and parental PTSD and depression symptoms. Coupled with high satisfaction ratings, findings support further study of the intervention, including in an efficacy trial. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

针对退伍军人的创伤知情育儿干预：家庭父母力量的初步非对照试验。

创伤暴露和创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）在军人和退伍军人群体中非常普遍，并且与养育子女的困难有关。不幸的是，退伍军人事务部 (VA) 内缺乏可用的、基于创伤的、基于证据的育儿支持干预措施。家庭父母力量 (SAHP) 是一个创伤知情心理治疗小组，旨在改善患有 PTSD 症状的美国退伍军人的养育行为以及整体亲子和家庭功能。SAHP 的开发旨在最大限度地提高 VA 提供者的易用性和家长的可及性。在这里，我们报告了一项使用同步视频技术对符合 PTSD 和亲子功能困难标准的使用 VA 护理的退伍军人样本 (N = 53) 进行的 SAHP 的非对照试验的数据。入学率和保留率达到了研究目标，并表明研究方法的可行性和可接受性。干预前后，在失调的纪律、养育压力、一般家庭功能、儿童心理社会功能以及父母创伤后应激障碍和抑郁症状方面观察到显着改善。再加上高满意度，研究结果支持进一步研究干预措施，包括功效试验。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
