A culturally adapted parenting intervention for the Chilean context: Qualitative indicators of participant satisfaction and contextual and cultural relevance

Abstract

Parent training (PT) interventions constitute an empirically demonstrated alternative to promote effective parenting practices and prevent child behavioral and mental health problems. However, the dissemination of evidence‐based PT interventions across Latin America remains scarce. This qualitative study had the primary objective of evaluating the level of acceptability of a culturally adapted version of the PT intervention known as GenerationPMTO©, adapted for the Chilean context. According to qualitative reports provided by 24 Chilean caregivers exposed to the culturally adapted parenting intervention, the intervention was perceived by caregivers as useful for their parenting practices, as well as contextually and culturally relevant. Current qualitative findings indicate that the culturally adapted PT intervention holds promise for larger dissemination in the Chilean context.

MEPs rooted in local systems, addressing cultural aspects, are essential for rebuilding support networks (DuPree et al, 2013; Miller et al, 2014; Parra‐Cardona et al, 2023; Su et al, 2015). Amplifying traditional community efforts can yield positive solutions and benefit other cultures.…”

Building bridges through cultural adaptation: Examining the initial impact of a culturally adapted parent training intervention for the Chilean context

“…To evaluate the contextual and cultural relevance of these adaptations, a qualitative study was conducted with 24 Chilean families. According to qualitative findings, caregivers indicated high satisfaction with all components of the adapted intervention and offered additional recommendations to refine the cultural and contextual relevance of the intervention (Parra‐Cardona et al, 2022).…”

“…As previously reported (Parra-Cardona et al, 2022), the San Carlos de Maipo Foundation is a private, not-for-profit organization, with a mission focused on promoting the positive development of children through the cultural adaptation and implementation of evidence-based interventions. The foundation has specific areas of research and implementation focused on the cultural adaptation, implementation, and dissemination of these interventions.…”
