很少有研究探讨了行为父母培训计划对边缘化，高风险父亲虐待儿童行为的直接影响。这项可行性研究检查了SafeCare® Dad to Kids（Dad 2K），这是基于证据的儿童虐待预防计划SafeCare的增强版本，以确定该计划在提高父亲育儿技能和降低虐待风险方面的可接受性和初步疗效。99名父亲参加了这项研究，并随机接受SafeCare Dad 2K干预（n= 51）或比较（n= 48）。干预父亲参加了6次家访，比较父亲通过邮件收到育儿材料。所有参与研究的父亲都完成了虐待行为的基线和8周评估（干预后）。此外，干预父亲完成可行性和育儿技巧的措施。一个显着的主效应出现表明两组心理攻击行为的减少。没有显着的组的时间发现出现了儿童虐待行为。父亲干预完成者对该计划的满意度很高，并在有针对性的父子互动技能方面表现出显着的改善。基于高的接受率和积极的育儿技能的初步改善，研究结果表明，在行为的父母培训计划，针对儿童虐待预防涉及的风险父亲的可行性。
Few studies have explored the direct impact of behavioral parent training programs on child maltreatment behaviors among marginalized, at-risk fathers. This feasibility study examined SafeCare® Dad to Kids (Dad2K), an augmented version of the evidence-based child maltreatment prevention program SafeCare, to determine the acceptability and initial efficacy of the program for improving father parenting skills and reducing maltreatment risk. Ninety-nine fathers were enrolled in the study and randomized to the SafeCare Dad2K Intervention (n= 51) or comparison (n= 48). Intervention fathers participated in 6 home visiting sessions and comparison fathers received parenting materials via mail. All fathers participating in the study completed a baseline and 8-week assessment (post-intervention) of maltreatment behaviors. In addition, intervention fathers completed feasibility and parenting skill measures. A significant main effect emerged indicating decreases for both groups in psychologically aggressive behaviors. No significant group by time findings emerged for child maltreatment behaviors. Father intervention completers endorsed high satisfaction ratings for the program and demonstrated significant improvements in targeted father-child interaction skills. Based on the high rates of acceptability and initial improvement in positive parenting skills, findings demonstrate the feasibility for involving at-risk fathers in behavioral parent training programs targeting child maltreatment prevention.
