“…A recent systematic review of the effects of universal interventions for parents with infants on child development and the parent-child relationship found mixed results for the effect of universal interventions [78]. The systematic review includes three universal interventions discussed in the introduction: the Australian Toddlers Without Tears program [45,48], the Australian Face to Face program [49], and the US trial of parent training [50]. None of the three RCTs found intervention effects.…”

“…Even fewer interventions, either in Scandinavia or internationally, are aimed at a universal sample of parents with infants [40–47]. Three of these programs are delivered postnatally in a group format: (1) Toddlers Without Tears (Australia), with three sessions from age eight months [45,48]; (2) Face to Face (Australia), with five sessions from three months [49]; and (3) an American trial of parent training, with eight sessions from age eight months [50]. None of the studies, however, finds any effects on child development or the parent-child relationship.…”

IntroductionInfancy is an important period of life; adverse experiences during this stage can have both immediate and lifelong impacts on the child’s mental health and well-being. This study evaluates the effects of offering the Incredible Years Parents and Babies (IYPB) program as a universal intervention.MethodWe conducted a pragmatic, two-arm, parallel pilot randomized controlled trial; 112 families with newborns were randomized to the IYPB program (76) or usual care (36) with a 2:1 allocation ratio. The primary outcome was parenting confidence at 20 weeks(Karitane Parenting Confidence Scale and Parental Stress Scale). Secondary outcomes include measures of parent health, parent-child relationship, infant development, parent-child activities, and network. Interviewers and data analysts were blind to allocation status. Multiple linear-regression analyses were used for evaluating the effects of the intervention.ResultsThere were no intervention effects on the primary outcomes. Only one effect was detected for secondary outcomes, intervention mothers reported a significantly smaller network than control mothers (β = -0.15 [-1.85,-0.28]). When examining the lowest-functioning mothers in moderator analyses, we found that intervention mothers reported significantly higher parent stress (β = 5.33 [0.27,10.38]), lower parenting confidence (β = -2.37 [-4.45,-0.29]), and worse mental health than control mothers (β = -18.62 [-32.40,-4.84]). In contrast, the highest functioning intervention mothers reported significantly lower parent stress post-intervention (β = -6.11 [-11.07,-1.14]).ConclusionOverall, we found no effects of the IYPB as a universal intervention for parents with infants. The intervention was developed to be used with groups of low functioning families and may need to be adapted to be effective with universal parent groups. The differential outcomes for the lowest and highest functioning families suggest that future research should evaluate the effects of delivering the IYPB intervention to groups of parents who have similar experiences with parenting and mental health.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT01931917

“…A mãe muda seu canto à medida que interage com e acompanha seu bebê, adaptando sua canção para que fique apropriada ao momento e ajude o bebê a se equilibrar. Sua sensibilidade e seu afeto são transmitidos por meio do som de sua voz, suas expressões faciais, mãos, movimento do corpo e toque (Vlismas, Malloch, & Burnham, 2013).…”

Cantar para bebês tem sido parte da vida de mães desde os tempos antigos e em diferentes culturas. O estudo do cantar das mães para seus bebês tende a enfocar como e por que as canções são facilitadoras da comunicação mãe -bebê, identificando seus efeitos e benefícios para a mãe e para o bebê. No entanto, sabe -se pouco a respeito da experiência subjetiva das mães ao cantarem. Esta pesquisa fenomenológica pretende contribuir para esse corpo de conhecimento por meio de uma compreensão psicológica, em busca de significados, a partir da psicologia humanista. Foram realizados encontros dialógicos individuais com 13 mães primíparas, brasileiras e norte-americanas, com filhos de até 18 meses. Narrativas compreensivas baseadas nesses encontros foram redigidas e analisadas pela pesquisadora e uma narrativa síntese foi construída revelando os elementos estruturais da experiência de cantar das mães. Os elementos significativos que emergiram foram: um modo especial de se comunicarem com o filho, possibilitando a construção de um vínculo emocional, uma forma de melhor conhecer seu bebê, um modo de reconhecerem a si mesmas na condição de mães, uma maneira interessante de compartilhar valores pessoais e costumes familiares e um modo criativo de se expressarem. Todos estes significados possibilitam o desenvolvimento do potencial para crescimento pessoal das mães. Este artigo também pretende apresentar uma breve discussão dos resultados no contexto contemporâneo da ciência psicológica e sugere futuros caminhos de pesquisa.Palavras-chave: Psicologia fenomenológica; relações mãe-criança; canto.ABSTRACT. Singing to infants has been a part of mothers' lives across the ages and in different cultures. The study of mothers singing to infants tends to focus on how and why songs facilitate mother-infant communication, identifying its effects and benefits for mother and infant. Little is known, however, about the mothers' subjective lived experience of singing. The present phenomenological study aims to contribute to this body of knowledge through a psychological comprehension, in search of meanings, through a Humanistic lens. Thirteen individual dialogical encounters were conducted with Brazilian and American fist-time mothers with infants up to 18 months old. Comprehensive narratives based on those individual encounters were written and analyzed by the researcher, and a synthesis narrative was built revealing the structural

“…More specifically, there is also a growing body of evidence demonstrating the effects of community group singing on mental health (Clift & Morrison, 2011;Coulton, Clift, Skingley, & Rodriguez, 2015). Singing to new babies is practised in cultures around the world, and research has demonstrated valuable benefits such as improving mother-infant interaction and reducing distress in babies (Mualem & Klein, 2013;Nakata & Trehub, 2004;Vlismas, Malloch, & Burnham, 2013). The benefits of singing for maternal mental health remain largely unknown, however.…”

Background: This article is a process evaluation of a three-arm randomised controlled trial (RCT) comparing the effects of creative interventions on symptoms of postnatal depression in new mothers. Methods: Analyses of quantitative evaluation data from 91 participants and qualitative interviews and focus groups with 80 participants and 3 members of staff. Results: Key assumptions of the project, including how the delivery of the intervention was achieved and what the intervention involved are explored. Data suggest that the intervention was delivered as planned with a high level of fidelity. Key uncertainties surrounding the project, in particular unanticipated challenges that had to be overcome during the project are also discussed and simple recommendations for improvement are made. Conclusion: This process evaluation aims to illuminate the outcome and mechanisms data from the RCT and enable organisations or individuals to ascertain the feasibility of establishing their own singing classes for women with symptoms of postnatal depression.
