“…Earlier studies also demonstrated the efficacy of attachment-based intervention models (i.e. Allen et al 2014 ; Crugnola et al 2016 ; Kamal et al 2016 ; Moretti et al 2015 ; Shpigel et al 2012 ; Zilberstein and Messer 2010 ) but possessed limitations that reduced their usefulness in medical conditions. These attachment-based intervention models were done with families, couples or individuals of different ages and from different situations (i.e.…”

Studies have shown significant relationship between health conditions and attachment. This study aimed to examine an attachment-based intervention model named mother–child-disease triangle (MCDT) on health indices in children with chronic disease and their mothers. This randomized trial study included 22 volunteer children aged 12–18 years undergoing medical treatment for a chronic disease and their mothers. After evaluation by 28-form General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), inventory of parent and peer attachment (IPPA), 28-form Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ-28) and Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ), the mother–child dyads were paired on the basis of IPPA scores. These pairs were then randomly assigned to an experimental or control group. The experimental group received ten 90-min sessions of MCDT over a 7-week period. Meanwhile, the control group received ten simple conversational sessions as a dummy intervention. In accordance with this study’s pre-test/post-test design, both groups were evaluated once again after completing their respective treatment. Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) showed members of the experimental group to have significantly stronger attachment and better physiological and psychosocial health than those in the control group. These findings suggest that attachment-based interventions can be used to improve the effectiveness of treatment among children with chronic disease and their mothers.

“…Interventions targeting parenting should be responsive to gender, dimensions of IPV, and the context of familial 972 Journal of relationships (Lindhorst & Tajima, 2008). This includes accounting for the unequal burden of caring that is most often placed on mothers (Kamal et al, 2017).…”

While research shows that adult intimate partner violence (IPV) and harsh parenting of children co-occur, less information is available about whether specific types or patterns of IPV create greater risk for harsh parenting, and whether these patterns vary by gender. This study used latent class analysis (LCA) to examine unique patterns of IPV perpetration and victimization among men and women, and variation across patterns by gender, parenting status, and harsh parenting of children. Data are from the Lehigh Longitudinal study ( n = 332). LCA produced four classes of IPV perpetration and victimization (Minor Psychological; None; Moderate; and Severe), which were invariant by gender. Although any level of IPV was associated with an increase in harsh parenting, patterns of IPV characterized by a greater number of and more severe types, were particularly associated with the use of harsh parenting toward their children for both mothers and fathers. Parents were overrepresented in all IPV classes compared to the No-IPV class. Results suggest the need for more broad screening and increased supports for parents that are tailored to different levels of need.

“…Participants were offered the opportunity to have their journals returned to them at the conclusion of data analysis. Kamal et al (2017) identify focus groups as an appropriate method to gain an understanding of participant perspectives surrounding parenting programs. Thus, a focus group was held with all participants in the community attachment parenting program.…”

This qualitative case study sought to examine the delivery and content efficacy of a community attachment parenting program developed and hosted by an attachment and trauma‐informed organization that services infants and their pre‐ or postnatal mothers in Ontario, Canada. A focus group and participant reflective journals were employed to amplify the voices of mothers who engaged in the 8‐week program. Five overarching themes surfaced in the data which include (1) infant/mother attachment, (2) program delivery validations and recommendations, (3) program content validations and recommendations, (4) facilitator delivery, content and relational competencies and (5) connections with others. The findings of this study are intended to inform future offerings of this program, as well as incite further research to illuminate the voices of mothers and other participants who engage in attachment‐postured community parenting programs across the globe.
