Technology-Based Parent School Program: Randomized Controlled Trial

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of a technology-based parent school program designed for parents of toddlers to be improved their parenting abilities.

Design: A parallel group, randomized controlled trial. Method: The study will be conducted with parents whose children are between the ages of 18 and 24 months in a hospital's well-child outpatient clinic in Turkey. The study data will be analyzed using the Parent and Child Descriptive Data Form, the Parent Skill List, Toddler Skill List, and the Turkish Version of Self-Efficacy for Parenting Tasks Index-Toddler Scale. The program will be continued for 10 weeks in the intervention group and will be included five web-based modules, five online group interactions after each module, and consultation throughout the program and the follow-up period. The modules will be included topics such as the child's physical growth, cognitive and linguistic development, and social-emotional development. The modules will be supported by videos and messages. This study will be based on Meleis' Transition Theory.

Hypothesis:

H0-1: There is no difference in self-efficacy total scores of parents between intervention and control group.

H0-2: There is no difference in parenting skill list total scores between intervention and control group.

H0-3: There is no difference in the skill list total scores of toddlers according to the parents between intervention and control group.

H1-1: There is a difference in self-efficacy total scores of parents between intervention and control group.

H1-2: There is a difference in parenting skill list total scores between intervention and control group.

H1-3: There is a difference in the skill list total scores of toddlers according to the parents between intervention and control group.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Parent Skill List
Time Frame: Change in parent skill level after 3 months
The form was created by the researchers by scanning the literature. Contains 25 items. For their children's physical, cognitive-language, and social-emotional development, the form includes skills that parents can do, cannot do, or are hesitant to do. Parents will receive a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 50 points.
Change in parent skill level after 3 months
Toddler Skill List
Time Frame: Toddler skill level 3 months after the beginning of the program.
The form was created by the researchers by scanning the literature. Contains 15 items. The form will evaluate what skills they have and what they will be unable to do for the physical, cognitive-language, and social-emotional development of toddlers. Toddler will receive a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 30 points.
Toddler skill level 3 months after the beginning of the program.
the Turkish Version of Self-Efficacy for Parenting Tasks Index-Toddler Scale
Time Frame: Change in parent self-efficacy compliance from baseline at 3 months.
The scale consists of 51 items to measure the self-efficacy of parents of children aged 1-3. The 5-point Likert-type scale is scored as 5: Totally Agree, 4: Agree, 3: Undecided, 2: Disagree, and 1: Strongly Disagree for positive items. Some of the items are scored reverse. The total score ranges from 51 to 255, with increasing scores indicating a high level of self-efficacy.
Change in parent self-efficacy compliance from baseline at 3 months.
