The purpose of this study was to assess parenting knowledge and beliefs among drug abusing pregnant and recently postpartum women engaged in a comprehensive substance abuse treatment program. The effects of a parenting skills training program for this population were evaluated. A Parenting Skills Questionnaire was developed and administered to a sample of 73 pregnant and drug-dependent women during their first week of substance abuse treatment and again approximately 7 weeks later, following parenting skills training. The questionnaire was designed to assess whether group and individual parenting sessions changed the subjects' knowledge and beliefs in four parenting domains: newborn care, feeding practices, child development and drug abuse during pregnancy. Pre-intervention scores for all parenting domains were low. Post- vs. pre-intervention comparisons showed significant increases in all domain scores after individual and group parenting skills training. Preliminary results obtained from this clinic-based sample suggest that these substance abusing mothers lacked important parenting knowledge and that this knowledge improved after comprehensive substance abuse treatment that included parenting training.
本研究的目的是评估参与综合药物滥用治疗项目的吸毒孕妇及近期产后妇女的育儿知识和观念。对该人群的育儿技能培训项目的效果进行了评估。开发了一份育儿技能问卷,并在73名怀孕且依赖药物的妇女接受药物滥用治疗的第一周对她们进行了问卷调查,在大约7周后的育儿技能培训结束后再次进行了调查。该问卷旨在评估小组和个人育儿课程是否改变了受试者在四个育儿领域的知识和观念:新生儿护理、喂养方式、儿童发育以及孕期药物滥用。所有育儿领域的干预前得分都很低。干预后与干预前的比较显示,在个人和小组育儿技能培训后,所有领域的得分都有显著提高。从这个基于诊所的样本中获得的初步结果表明,这些吸毒母亲缺乏重要的育儿知识,而在包括育儿培训在内的综合药物滥用治疗后,这种知识得到了改善。
