Effective operation of support group meetings for prevention of child abuse and training outcomes of facilitating skills

我们进行了一项关于公共卫生护士支持能力的调查，他们为防止虐待儿童的支持小组--母亲和儿童小组--提供了便利。我们与当地政府合作制定了支持小组计划的操作手册，规划并实施了辅导员培训计划。3个公共卫生中心开展了团体支持计划，对4个公共卫生中心的母亲参加支持小组的效果进行了研究。尽管存在个体差异，但在“母子关系”、“母亲与孩子以外的其他人的关系”和“参加团体计划的直接效果”三个方面都有改善。结果表明，参加支持小组一年以上的母亲比参加支持小组不到一年的母亲期望更好的结果。

We conducted a survey on support competency of public health nurses who facilitated a support group for prevention of child abuse, Mother and Child Group.” We developed operation manuals of support group programs in collaboration with local government, planned and carried out a training program for facilitators. Three public health centers launched group support programs.We studied the effect of support group in mothers who participated in the support groups in 4 public health centers. Despite individual differences, improvement was observed after the participation in three areas: “mother and child relationship,” “mother’s relationship with persons other than her child,” and “direct effect of participation in a group program” compared withbaseline.The results suggest that mothers who participated in support group for more than one year could expect better outcomes than those who participated in support group for less than one year.
