目前冲突的高行动节奏和对国民警卫队和后备部队的空前依赖突出表明，需要提供服务来促进那些过渡到平民家庭生活的人重返社会的努力。尽管有证据表明，养育方式对儿童的功能有重大影响，而且在紧张的家庭过渡期间，养育方式可能会受到损害，但缺乏为军人家庭在部署后重新融入社会量身定做的经验性心理干预措施。这篇文章报道了对父母被部署到战争中的家庭进行的经验支持的育儿干预的修改。讨论了在部署后重返社会期间解决育儿问题的理论基础。我们描述了部署后的干预，适应性育儿工具(Adapt)，并报告了Adapt的随机对照有效性试验的早期可行性和可接受性数据，Adapt是一个为期14周的基于小组的网络增强型育儿培训计划。在分配到干预组的前42个家庭中，参与率很高，母亲和父亲的参与率是平等的。在所有14次会议上，满意度都很高。讨论了对处理部署过程的军人家属提供心理服务的影响。
The high operational tempo of the current conflicts and the unprecedented reliance on National Guard and Reserve forces highlights the need for services to promote reintegration efforts for those transitioning back to civilian family life. Despite evidence that parenting has significant influence on children's functioning, and that parenting may be impaired during stressful family transitions, there is a dearth of empirically supported psychological interventions tailored for military families reintegrating after deployment. This article reports on the modification of an empirically supported parenting intervention for families in which a parent has deployed to war. A theoretical rationale for addressing parenting during reintegration after deployment is discussed. We describe the intervention, After Deployment, Adaptive Parenting Tools (ADAPT), and report early feasibility and acceptability data from a randomized controlled effectiveness trial of ADAPT, a 14-week group-based, Web-enhanced parenting training program. Among the first 42 families assigned to the intervention group, participation rates were high, and equal among mothers and fathers. Satisfaction was high across all 14 sessions. Implications for psychological services to military families dealing with the deployment process are discussed.
