Qualitative methods were used to explore mothers' perceptions of structural family therapy (SFT) delivered in a semi-rural community mental health clinic. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with sixteen mothers who received SFT after seeking services for their children. Thematic analysis suggests mothers found SFT acceptable and valuable. Mothers reported using SFT strategies to regain parental authority, which they believed improved their ability to manage their child's needs and decreased their own stress. SFT also increased some mothers' receptivity to individual treatment. Mothers identified their low dose of treatment and lack of father involvement as impediments to improvement, raising concerns about intervention sustainability.
采用定性方法探讨了在半农村社区心理健康诊所中接受结构性家庭治疗（SFT）的母亲的看法。对十六名在为孩子寻求服务后接受 SFT 的母亲进行了深入的半结构化访谈。主题分析表明，母亲们认为 SFT 是可以接受和有价值的。母亲们报告说，她们使用 SFT 策略重新获得了父母的权威，她们认为这提高了她们管理孩子需求的能力，同时减轻了自身的压力。SFT 还增加了一些母亲对个体治疗的接受度。母亲们认为治疗剂量低和父亲参与度低是改善的障碍，这引发了对干预可持续性的担忧。
