Single session email consultation for parents: an evaluation of its effect on empowerment

Single session email consultation for parents: an evaluation of its effect on empowerment

This study evaluated the effect of single session email consultation (SSEC) on empowerment of parents. Practitioners in a control group (n = 19) received no training and practitioners in an experimental group (n = 21) were trained to use empowerment-oriented techniques in online consultation. Parental empowerment was measured (n = 96) through a questionnaire based on the Family Empowerment Scale before and after receiving advice from a trained or a non-trained practitioner. Parents showed a significant increase in the subscale of self-confidence (Cohen’s d = 0.33). Study findings lend support to the feasibility of SSEC as a brief intervention to improve self-confidence of parents. A training for practitioners did not influence the outcomes.

Een systematisch overzicht van 75 studies over online opvoedingsondersteuning (1998-2010). 

The Internet offers many opportunities to provide parenting support. An overview of empirical studies in this domain is lacking, and little is known about the design of web based parenting resources and their evaluations, raising questions about its position in the context of parenting intervention programs. This article is a systematic review of empirical studies (n=75), published between 1998 and 2010, that describe resources of peer and professional online support for parents.

Samenvatting Dissertatie Online opvoedingsondersteuning

Uit dit onderzoek naar online opvoedingsondersteuning blijkt dat het onderwerp langzamerhand terrein wint in onderzoekspublicaties. Volgend op technologische mogelijkheden zijn online programma’s voor ouders steeds interactiever geworden en maken dergelijke programma’s steeds meer gebruik van multimedia. Dit maakt communicatie op velerlei niveaus en reikwijdte mogelijk. Naast peer support zijn er veel mogelijkheden voor professioneel advies.

Technologische ontwikkelingen zijn niet weg te denken uit ons leven en hebben ook hun impact op de manier waarop hulpverleners met ouders communiceren. We staan pas aan het begin van de ontdekkingstocht hoe dit moet. Ons onderzoek toont aan dat online opvoedingsondersteuning veelbelovende interventies mogelijk maakt. Met dit onderzoek hebben we een bijdrage geleverd aan de kennis op dit gebied.
