Abstract: (91 Views)
Background: Nowadays, there is a growing increase in a new type of domestic violence known as child-to-parent abuse, which, due to its damaging nature that disrupts family functioning, has attracted the attention of researchers and made effective interventions in this area more necessary than ever. However, no study has yet comparatively examined indigenous and non-indigenous intervention programs for child-to-parent abuse.
Aims: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the mother abuse intervention program and an early intervention program for child-to-parent violence on family adaptability and the self-esteem of abused mothers.
Methods: This research was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design and a control group, including a two-month follow-up. The statistical population consisted of all mothers in Khorramabad who had experienced abuse from their adolescent sons (aged 12 to 18 years) and who sought counseling services in 2024. Out of these, 45 individuals were selected based on the study’s inclusion and exclusion criteria through purposeful sampling and were randomly assigned to three groups of 15 (two experimental groups and one control group). The first and second experimental groups participated respectively in 18 and 35 sessions (45 to 60 minutes each) of the mother abuse intervention program (Abbaspour et al., 2023) and the early intervention program for child-to-parent violence (Ibabe et al., 2017). The control group did not receive any intervention. The Family Adaptability Questionnaire (Olson, 2011) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (1965) were administered at three points: pretest, posttest, and follow-up. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA with SPSS version 27.
Results: The results showed that both the child-to-mother abuse intervention program and the early intervention program for child-to-parent violence led to improvements in family adaptability and self-esteem among abused mothers (p<0.05). Both interventions performed better than the control group and maintained their effects during the follow-up period. Furthermore, no significant difference was found between the effectiveness of the two interventions, indicating that both were equally effective.
Conclusion: Implementing appropriate interventions in the field of child-to-parent abuse, including the mother abuse intervention program and the early intervention program for child-to-parent violence, can enhance family adaptability and self-esteem among abused mothers.
