Effekte des Stepping Stones Elterngruppentrainings für Familien mit behinderten Kindern

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1026/0942-5403/a000007

Stepping Stones Triple P wurde als verhaltenstherapeutisch orientiertes Elterngruppentraining bereits in Australien erfolgreich evaluiert. Im Rahmen einer Multicenterstudie in verschiedenen Sozialpädiatrischen Zentren (SPZ) und weiterer Versorgungseinrichtungen wurde Stepping Stones Triple P als Elterngruppentraining eingeführt und auf seine Wirksamkeit im deutschen Sprachraum überprüft. Unsere Daten zeigen eine signifikante Reduktion dysfunktionalen Erziehungsverhaltens, elterlicher Belastungen und kindlicher Verhaltensprobleme. Die vorliegende Analyse zeigt, dass ungünstige psychosoziale Belastungen den Therapieerfolg stark reduzieren. Gute bzw. eingeschränkte elterlicher Mitarbeit beeinflussen dagegen den Therapieerfolg nur leicht.


Stepping Stones parenting training as an effective support for families with a handicapped child

Stepping Stones Triple P is a behavioral parenting training for families with a handicapped child which has already been successfully evaluated in its country of origin, Australia. Within a multicenter study of several social pediatric centers (SPCs) and further clinics/institutions, it has been established as a parenting group training program (3 – 7 families per training) and proved its effectiveness concerning dysfunctional parenting behavior, parental stress, and child behavior problems. The present study indicates that adverse psychosocial contexts influence disadvantageously the therapy’s effectiveness. Otherwise parental cooperation correlates less with the therapy outcome.
