“…The EBPAS‐15 total score had statistically significant according to the gender of the physicians and it was observed that women got higher scores. In accordance with our study, Aarons et al (2010) found that women had higher EBPAS‐15 total scores 8 and Kim et al (2020, China) found that women had more positive global attitudes toward EBP in a study from social workers in Hong Kong 25 . The Openness score increases as the residency year increases; also, Aarons et al (2006) found that older professionals had higher Openness scores 22 .…”

Aims: Aim of this study is to translate and apply a cross-cultural adaptation of the Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale (EBPAS) in Turkish and investigate its validity and reliability. Methods:The original EBPAS-15 (a questionnaire assessing health professionals' attitudes to implementation of evidence-based practice) was translated into Turkish.To assess its validity and reliability, 151 family medicine residents answered the EBPAS-15 by web-based survey. In addition, relationships of family medicine residents' characteristics with EBPAS-15 total scores are examined. Results:The results showed that the EBPAS-15 has good internal consistency and reliability. The Cronbach's alpha value for EBPAS-15 was 0.828. The scores of the two scales were highly correlated (ρ = 0.72). In the scale, there was no item with a total correlation value of less than 0.40. For this reason, no item was removed due to the high reliability value of all 15 items. Conclusion:The Turkish version of the EBPAS-15 shows mainly good validity and reliability.

“…Guided by cognitive-behavioral and social learning principles, Workplace Triple P has been shown to be effective in reducing work-family conflicts and enhancing parenting efficacy among working parents ( Hartung and Hahlweg, 2011 ; Haslam et al, 2013 ). Though it has yet to be used in the local context, the demonstrated effectiveness of the original Triple P for Hong Kong parents ( Leung et al, 2003 , 2014 ) suggests that Workplace Triple P is also likely to benefit working parents in Hong Kong ( Kim, 2021 ), where practitioners are ready to offer the evidence-based parenting program ( Kim, 2019a , 2020a ).…”

Evidence suggests that parental involvement in children’s education has a positive impact on children’s educational achievements and wellbeing outcomes. The trend toward 24/7 economies has obliged many mothers to work non-standard schedules (i.e., schedules outside traditional daytime, Monday–Friday work schedules). This has raised concerns over how non-standard work schedules affect parenting behaviors, including paternal involvement in children’s education. Using data from mothers of young children (age 5–6) in Hong Kong (N = 433), this study examined the association between maternal work schedules and involvement in children’s home and school activities. The results of structural equation modeling found that weekend work was associated with lower levels of home-based involvement. By contrast, working non-standard hours was linked with higher levels of school-based involvement. This pattern suggested that non-standard work schedules could make it either easier or harder for mothers to balance work and family responsibilities, depending on the circumstances (i.e., whether they work non-standard hours or weekends). These findings, indicating that the effects of non-standard work schedules are not uniformly negative or positive, warrant sophisticated policy efforts to address the potential adverse effects of non-standard work schedules and avoid undermining their potential to be used as a family-friendly option.

“…As a variant of Triple P that specifically targets employed parents, Workplace Triple P has been demonstrated to produce a range of positive outcomes, including enhanced parenting efficacy and reduced individual and work-related stress [ 73 , 77 , 78 ]. Although Workplace Triple P has not been used for parents in Hong Kong, an evidence base supporting the effectiveness of the original Triple P in Hong Kong [ 79 , 80 ] indicates that Workplace Triple P is also likely to be a promising option for working parents in Hong Kong, including those working nonstandard hours, while social service professional in Hong Kong are ready to implement the evidence-based parenting program [ 81 , 82 ]. Given the findings of the study, such parenting programs would be particularly beneficial to low-income fathers working nonstandard hours.…”

With the emergence of 24/7 economies, the practice of working nonstandard schedules has become increasingly common. This trend raises a concern about how parental nonstandard work schedules affect child development outcomes. Using data from dual-earner families with young children (age 5–6) in Hong Kong, this study examined the association between parental work schedules and child development. It also examined under what conditions parental nonstandard work schedules affect child development, with a focus on the moderating role of family income. Results showed that paternal nonstandard work schedules were negatively associated with overall child development. This association was particularly salient among low-income families. By contrast, maternal nonstandard work schedules were not associated with child development outcomes. These findings suggest that it is important to equip parents, in particular low-income fathers, to address challenges resulting from their nonstandard work schedules.
