The increasing population of children with an incarcerated parent is a significant public health issue. A literature search highlighted that children of incarcerated parents experience psychological stressors that may potentially impact on health and behavioural outcomes. Parenting programs for prisoners may be of benefit as early parenting experiences during childhood have a significant impact on a child's future experiences as an adolescent and adult. A review of identified evaluation-based studies of parenting programs for prisoners (N = 11), although varied in program delivery approaches and evaluation methods, suggest that such programs have the potential to improve the parenting skills, knowledge and confidence of incarcerated parents. Finally, this paper provides an outline of the development of an Australian based parenting program for incarcerated mothers and their young children.
父母一方被监禁的儿童数量不断增加，这是一个重大的公共卫生问题。文献检索表明，父母被监禁的儿童会经历心理压力源，这可能会对其健康和行为结果产生潜在影响。针对囚犯的育儿项目可能会有所帮助，因为童年时期的早期育儿经历会对孩子未来作为青少年和成年人的经历产生重大影响。对已确定的基于评估的囚犯育儿项目研究（N = 11）进行的综述显示，尽管这些项目在实施方式和评估方法上各不相同，但表明此类项目有潜力提高被监禁父母的育儿技能、知识和信心。最后，本文概述了一项针对澳大利亚被监禁母亲及其幼儿的育儿项目的开展情况。
