Little is known about how parent-child dynamics change when parents engage in parenting intervention programmes. To explore this, the Contextualising and Learning in Mental Health Support (CALMS) app was developed to capture daily parent-reports of these key family dynamics. This small-scale pilot study aimed to test (a) the feasibility of recruiting parents attending parenting programmes to a study of parent-child dynamics throughout a 10-12-week intervention and (b) adherence to reporting parent and child behaviours in CALMS during this period. Nine parents were recruited to complete CALMS from two parenting groups and three participated in feedback interviews. Recruitment was shown to be feasible, and adherence acceptable. Most parents reported that CALMS was easy to use, not burdensome and increased their awareness of their own and their child's behaviours. Feasible and acceptable to parents attending parenting intervention, CALMS may have therapeutic benefits that should be explored in future research.
对于父母参与育儿干预项目时亲子互动动态如何变化，我们知之甚少。为了探究这一点，开发了心理健康支持情境化与学习（CALMS）应用程序，以获取父母对这些关键家庭动态的每日报告。这项小规模试点研究旨在测试：（a）招募参加育儿项目的父母参与一项为期10至12周干预的亲子动态研究的可行性，以及（b）在此期间坚持在CALMS中报告父母和孩子行为的情况。从两个育儿小组中招募了九名父母来完成CALMS，其中三名参与了反馈访谈。结果表明招募是可行的，且报告的依从性也可以接受。大多数父母表示CALMS易于使用，不会造成负担，并且提高了他们对自己和孩子行为的认识。对于参加育儿干预的父母来说，CALMS是可行且可接受的，它可能具有治疗益处，值得在未来研究中进行探索。
