We developed a comprehensive training program to teach young parents what symptoms to look for to judge the severity of their children's illnesses, what to do at home to comfort their children, and when to consult their children's physician or take them for emergency treatment. Three pairs of subjects received training that included written handouts, verbal instructions, modeling, positive practice, and verbal reinforcement. Skill acquisition was assessed by a behavioral test in which parents assessed, treated, or reported a simulated illness in a child. Written materials when used alone did not improve the parent's ability to identify and report children's illnesses. Modeling and role-playing followed by positive practice were successful in teaching these parents skills that were maintained for 3 months without additional training or instruction.
我们制定了一项全面的培训计划，教导年轻父母如何判断孩子病情的严重程度、在家中如何安抚孩子以及何时咨询孩子的医生或带孩子接受紧急治疗。三组受试者接受了包括书面资料、口头指导、示范、实际操作练习和口头强化在内的培训。通过一项行为测试评估技能习得情况，测试中父母对孩子模拟的病情进行评估、治疗或报告。单独使用书面材料并不能提高父母识别和报告孩子病情的能力。示范和角色扮演之后进行实际操作练习，成功教会了这些父母相关技能，这些技能在没有额外培训或指导的情况下持续了3个月。
