We evaluated the effects of a parenting program, Baby and You, on parenting knowledge, parenting morale, and social support using a single-group, pre-test, and post-test design with 159 Canadian mothers of infants aged 2 to 9 months old. Baby and You is a prevention-focused parenting program (PFPP) to improve maternal and infant health through education and social support. The 4-week curriculum focuses on infant development and safety, parent-child relationships, maternal self-care, and community resources. We computed repeated-measures ANOVAs separately for scores on Parenting Knowledge Scale, Parenting Moral Index, and Family Support Scale. We found a significant increase between pre-test and post-test on parenting knowledge, but not parenting morale or social support. Parenting morale may be a stable construct that shows little change over time. It may take more than 4 weeks of programming for mothers to identify and integrate new sources of social support.
我们采用单组前后测设计，对159名加拿大2至9个月婴儿的母亲开展了一项名为“宝贝与你”的育儿项目，评估该项目对育儿知识、育儿士气和社会支持的影响。“宝贝与你”是一个以预防为重点的育儿项目（PFPP），旨在通过教育和社会支持改善母婴健康。为期4周的课程重点关注婴儿发育与安全、亲子关系、母亲自我护理以及社区资源。我们分别对育儿知识量表、育儿士气指数和家庭支持量表的得分进行重复测量方差分析。我们发现，前后测之间育儿知识有显著增加，但育儿士气和社会支持没有变化。育儿士气可能是一个稳定的结构，随时间变化不大。母亲们可能需要超过4周的项目时间才能识别并整合新的社会支持来源。
