Parental programs have been a viable alternative for the management of inappropriate child behaviors instead of providing psychological assistance to children and intervening in their behavioral complaints. In this article, the effects of a parental intervention program are reported, through the elaboration of an expanded version of the “Family Interaction Quality Program (PQIF)” by Weber, Salvador and Brandenburg (2011), on indicators of parenting practices and quality of mother-child interaction. Twenty mothers participated in the study, whose children had behavioral problems, that were assessed by instrument, and were awaiting psychotherapy at a Psychology School-Clinic. The participant mothers were distributed in the Experimental Group (EG) and Control Group (CG), and behavioral categories of the mother’s parental educational social skills and mothers and children’s quality in family interaction were assessed in the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up. The intervention program was applied at the EG, consisting of 12 meetings, lasting 90 minutes, which covered aspects of mother-child interaction, self-observation of parenting behaviors and related antecedent and consequent variables, through behavioral techniques, experiences and varied activities. Inferential statistical analyses were performed to compare the quantitative results in both groups. There were direct effects of the intervention program applied to the learning of several positive parenting behaviors and reduction of negative parenting practices, in most mothers, at the end of the program and in the follow-up, through statistical significance. Besides, there were verbal reports of improvement in the maternal self-observation and self-knowledge repertoire and indirect effects in reducing the behavioral problems of the respective children. The perspective that the acquisition of positive parenting practices has desirable indirect effects on the behavioral complaints of children should be widely disseminated in educational contexts and psychology services, since the proposition of parenting programs is a promising tool in order to shorten the time of child in line for child psychotherapy.
Programas parentais têm sido uma alternativa viável para o manejo de comportamentos inadequados infantis, ao invés de se realizar atendimento psicológico com as crianças e intervir em suas queixas comportamentais. Neste artigo, relatam-se os efeitos de um programa de intervenção parental, por meio da elaboração de uma versão ampliada do “Programa de Qualidade na Interação Familiar (PQIF)” de Weber, Salvador e Brandenburg (2011), sobre indicadores de práticas parentais e qualidade da interação mãe-filho. Participaram 20 mães, cujos filhos apresentavam queixas comportamentais e estavam aguardando psicoterapia em uma Clínica-escola. As mães foram distribuídas em Grupo Experimental (GE) e Grupo Controle (GC) e foram aferidas categorias de habilidades sociais educativas parentais nas mães e de qualidade na interação familiar, nas mães e filhos, no pré-teste, pós-teste e seguimento. O programa de intervenção foi aplicado no GE, sendo composto por 12 encontros, com 90 minutos de duração, que abarcaram aspectos da interação mãe-filho, auto-observação dos comportamentos parentais e variáveis relacionadas, por meio de técnicas comportamentais, vivências e atividades variadas. Os resultados indicaram a aquisição de comportamentos parentais positivos, minimização de práticas negativas e relatos verbais sobre a diminuição das queixas comportamentais dos filhos. Discute-se a possibilidade de o PQIF, na versão ampliada, ser um programa promissor para o desenvolvimento de autoconhecimento parental, bem como uma alternativa ao tratamento psicoterápico infantil individual em Clínicas-escola de Psicologia.
