Parent Education for Parents with Cognitive Limitations

描述（由申请人提供）：为人父母可能是成年人最难承担的工作之一，即使在最有序的家庭中，新的地位、新的关系和新的责任也会带来一定程度的压力。为人父母也是为其提供最少培训和准备的角色；关于育儿各个方面的书籍和网络资源的过剩证明了对信息的需求。然而，当父母有认知限制时，他们无法使用没有考虑到他们学习需求的信息。该项目的目标是为有2至5岁儿童的认知能力有限的父母制作录像和以作业为基础的育儿教育材料。有认知障碍的父母将学习建立家庭惯例、设定限制、处理愤怒和使用有效的语言等纪律技巧。在第一阶段，将制作关于建立日常生活的录像和工作手册材料，并对15个家庭进行可行性评估。在第二阶段，将通过对50个家庭的延迟治疗对照组研究来评估整套视频和练习册材料在教授育儿技能和行为方面的有效性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Parenting is probably one of the hardest jobs an adult will undertake, with a new status, new relationships, and new responsibilities causing a measure of stress in even the most well-ordered families. Parenthood is also the role for which the least amount of training and preparation is provided; the plethora of books and web accessible resources on all facets of parenting attests to the need for information. When parents have cognitive limitations, however, they are unable to use information that does not take into account their learning needs. The goal of this project is to develop video and workbook-based parenting education materials for parents with cognitive limitations who have children 2 to 5 years of age. Parents with cognitive limitations will learn discipline skills of establishing home routines, setting limits, dealing with anger, and using words that work. For Phase I, the video and workbook materials on establishing routines will be developed and a feasibility evaluation will be conducted with 15 families. For Phase II, the effectiveness of the complete set of video and workbook materials in teaching parenting skills and behaviors will be assessed through a delayed treatment control group study of 50 families.
