“…The effect sizes of PEPs according to the ages of children were largest when children were younger than 7 years of age (0.91), followed by children aged 8 to 14 years (0.56) and children of any age (0.31). These results are consistent with the findings of a previous study by Lee et al[ 46 ] that found that PEPs were effective when administered to parents of preschool-aged children. This may be because it might be more difficult to change established parenting attitudes or styles among parents of older children compared to parents of younger children.…”

Purpose: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the effects of parenting education programs (PEPs) for refugee and migrant parents.Methods: A systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. Relevant studies published from 2000 to 2020 were identified through a systematic search of six electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, RISS, KMBASE). A meta-analysis of the studies was then undertaken.Results: Of the 14,996 published works identified, 23 studies satisfied the inclusion criteria, and 19 studies were analyzed to estimate the effect sizes (standardized mean differences) of the PEPs using random-effect models. PEPs were effective for parenting efficacy (effect size [ES]=1.40; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.14-1.66), positive parenting behaviors (ES=0.51; 95% CI: 0.30-0.73), parent-child relationships (ES=0.38; 95% CI: 0.22-0.53), and parenting stress (ES=0.64; 95% CI: 0.50-0.79). There were statistically significant differences in the effect sizes of PEPs that included mothers only (ES=0.93), included children under 7 years of age(ES=0.91), did not include child participation (0.77), continued for 19 or more sessions (ES=0.80), and were analyzed in quasi-experimental studies (ES=0.86). The overall effect of publication bias was robust.Conclusion: PEPs were found to be effective at improving parenting efficacy, positive parenting behaviors, parent-child relationships, and parenting stress.

“…In addition, while changes in knowledge, skills and attitudes could be accomplished with fewer than eight sessions, changes in behaviours required further sessions (Lee et al . ). Not all of these findings may be applicable to our study because they are based on analysis of face‐to‐face interventions for parents; however, we speculate that small differences in the outcome variables might be attributable to the short intervention period and small number of sessions.…”

“…A meta‐analysis of face‐to‐face interventions for parents that was conducted in Korea (Lee et al . ) reported that the programs for parents of younger children were more effective than those for parents of school‐aged children.

Accessible summary What is known on the subject? Problematic parent–child relationships have been identified as one of the main predictors of adolescents' mental health problems, but there are few existing interventions that address this issue. The format and delivery method of existing interventions for parents are relatively inaccessible for parents with full‐time jobs and families living in rural areas. What does this paper add to existing knowledge? The newly developed ‘Stepping Stone’ culturally specific web‐based intervention, which is intended to help Korean parents of adolescents to acquire both knowledge and communication and conflict management skills, was found to be feasible and well‐accepted by parents. This study enabled us to identify areas for improvement in the content and format of the intervention and strategies. This will potentially increase effect sizes for the outcome variables of parents' perception and behaviours. What are the implications for practice? This web‐based intervention could be delivered across diverse settings, such as schools and community mental health centers, to increase parents' knowledge of adolescent's mental health and allow for early detection of mental health problems. Mental health nurses working in schools may spend a significant amount of time addressing students' mental health issues; thus, this web‐based intervention could be a useful resource to share with parents and children. In this way, the mental health nurses could facilitate parental engagement in the intervention and then help them to continue to apply and practice the knowledge and skills obtained through the program. Abstract IntroductionThere is a need for accessible, culturally specific web‐based interventions to address parent–child relationships and adolescents' mental health. AimsThis study developed and conducted a preliminary evaluation of a 4‐week web‐based intervention for parents of adolescents aged 11 to 16 years in Korea. MethodsWe used a two‐group, repeated measures, quasi‐experimental study design to assess the feasibility of developing and implementing a web‐based intervention for parents. Descriptive statistics, chi‐square and t tests, and mixed effect modeling were used for data analysis. ResultsThe intervention and 1‐month follow‐up survey were completed by 47 parents in the intervention group and 46 parents in the attention control (AC) group. The intervention was found to be feasible and well‐accepted by parents. DiscussionThis culturally specific web‐based intervention is a useful tool for knowledge dissemination among large numbers of parents. Areas for improvement in the content and format of the intervention and strategies to elicit significant parent–child interactions are provided. Implications for practice and conclusionThe intervention could be disseminated in collaboration with mental health nurses working in schools to facilitate parents' participation.

The purpose of this study is to develop the Respected Parents & Respected Children program for first-time expectant parents, and to investigate the effectiveness of the program. Methods: The program aims to help participants adjust to the transition to parenthood. The weekly program, composed of three phases-introduction, development, and closing-consists of a total of six two-hour sessions. In order to verify the effectiveness of the program, a pretest-posttest control group design was used. The participants in this study were 78 first-time expectant parents in Seoul, Gyeonggi province, and Daegu Metropolitan City. Sixteen couples were assigned to an intervention group and 23 to a control group. The data were analyzed by independent two-sample t-tests and repeated measures ANOVA using SPSS 21.0. Results: The couples in the intervention group showed positive changes in parenting beliefs, as well as increases in life satisfaction and marital intimacy as compared to those in the control group. Regarding the changing patterns, life satisfaction and marital intimacy increased in the intervention group, but decreased in the control group. In addition, child-centered views in the intervention group were little changed, while those in the control group were weakened. Parenting beliefs became more personality centric in the intervention group and more intellect centric in the control group. Stress during pregnancy was decreased in both groups. Conclusions: This study confirmed the effectiveness of the program and emphasized the need for preventive intervention for first-time expectant parents.
