Problem behaviors in childhood: study of measures and proposal of an intervention program with mothers

INTERVENTION: Behavioural In study 3 (intervention phase), initially, an online dissemination will be held, in which parents interested in participating in the parental intervention will be recruited. Based on the research criteria and intervention objectives, a selection of participants will be made. Those selected, by signing the Informed Consent Form, will be screened (clinical interview and pre‐test), which will clarify any doubts, ensuring the confidentiality, confidentiality of data by the researchers and the right to abandon the procedure at any time without prejudice. Entrants will be invited to participate in the research and will be divided into the experimental group (n = 30) and the control group (n = 30). For a group division, look for and compare participants who should use the intervention program (intervention group) and those who cannot use (group control), according to the following variables that are available in the pretest: gender and age. It is noteworthy that, for ethical reasons, a researcher will commit, after the conclusion of the project with an experimental group, the offer or the same intervention project for participants who lost in the control group. Thus, the control group will be notified that a new project group will be started after the intervention of the first group. The intervention group will be evaluated in three moments: first evaluation (pretest), second evaluation after intervention (posttest) and follow‐up (one month after the end of the program). Thus, the control group will be evaluated in two or even three moments: initial evaluation, second evaluation without intervention (posttest 1) and third evaluation after intervention for those who wish to participate in the project in the second class (posttest 2). In addition to the sociodemographic questionnaire, participants will answer: Parenting Sense of Competence Scale (PSOC); Parental Stress Scale –EEPa; Parenting Styles Inventory ‐ IEP (GOMIDE, 2011); Skills and difficulties questionnaire‐ Mother‐Child Relations CONDITION: Child Behavior Child Behavior Disorders child behavior disorders; child behavior ; Child Behavior Disorders ; Child Behavior F00‐F99 SECONDARY OUTCOME: t is expected that in the second (post‐test) and third evaluation (follow‐up) of the Intervention Group, there will be a statistically significant reduction in antisocial behavior in children's perception of participants. ; It is expected that after the second assessment of the Control Group (Post‐Test 1) there will be no statistically significant difference in antisocial behavior in children. ; INCLUSION CRITERIA: The criteria for inclusion of participants in the respective groups are: having a child who has presented behavioral problems in the last six month; having a child with characteristics of antisocial behavior in the age group of 3 to 7 years; the mother is willing to participate weekly in the intervention group; the mother reside with the child.
