简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Rational Positive Parenting Program (s-rPPP), a group-based intervention based on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), can help reduce disruptive behaviors in children and improve parenting among mothers in Pakistan. The study focuses on mothers of children aged 6-12 years who show behavioral problems like aggression, defiance, and temper outbursts.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does the s-rPPP reduce disruptive behavior in children? Does it improve parents' beliefs, emotional regulation, and sense of competence? Researchers will compare a group of mothers receiving the s-rPPP to a wait-list control group to see if the intervention leads to positive changes in both parent and child behavior.
Participants will:
Attend weekly group sessions based on s-rPPP techniques. Complete assessments before and after the program using standardized tools. Be followed up to evaluate the program's effectiveness in improving parenting and child outcomes.

结局指标
主要结局
Measure of Externalizing and Internalizing Behavioral Problems
时间窗: Baseline (pre-intervention) and post-intervention at 4 weeks
The developed scale is a 5-point Likert scale consisting of 36 items, designed to assess externalizing and internalizing behavioral problems in children aged 6 to 12 years. Each item requires respondents to rate the frequency of specific behaviors observed in the child. Response options range from: 1. = Not at all (absence of the behavior) 2. = Rarely 3. = Sometimes 4. = Often 5. = Always (consistent presence of the behavior) The scale evaluates two domains: Externalizing behaviors (hyperactivity \& impulsivity, aggression, anti-social tendencies, defiance) Internalizing behaviors (anxiety, depression, hypersensitivity) Minimum score: 36 Maximum score: 180 Higher scores indicate worse outcomes, reflecting greater severity and frequency of behavioral problems. Lower scores indicate better outcomes, reflecting fewer or absent behavioral problems.
Parenting Sense of Competence Scale - PSCS
时间窗: Baseline (pre-intervention) and post-intervention at 4 weeks
The Parenting Sense of Competence Scale (PSCS) assesses parents' self-perceived competence in their parenting role. It evaluates two subscales: Satisfaction Subscale - measures comfort and frustration in the parenting role Efficacy Subscale - assesses perceived competence and capability as a parent Different versions have slightly varying scoring, but the original 17-item version uses a 6-point Likert scale (from 1 = Strongly Disagree to 6 = Strongly Agree). Score Range (for 17-item version): Total Score Range: 17 to 102 Higher scores indicate greater parenting competence and satisfaction Subscale Ranges: Efficacy Subscale (8 items): 8-48 Satisfaction Subscale (9 items): 9-54
Parent Rational and Irrational Belief Scale - PRIBS
时间窗: Baseline (pre-intervention) and post-intervention at 4 weeks
The Parent Rational and Irrational Beliefs Scale (PRIBS) evaluates both rational and irrational parental beliefs related to child behavior and discipline. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale (from 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree). Includes two major dimensions: Rational Beliefs Subscale Irrational Beliefs Subscale Score Ranges: Total Score Range: Depends on the number of items used. Typically: 20 items total: 10 rational + 10 irrational Score Range (each subscale): 10 to 50 Higher Rational Belief Scores = More adaptive, logical parenting beliefs Higher Irrational Belief Scores = More rigid, demanding, or unrealistic beliefs
Parent Anger Scale - PAS
时间窗: Baseline (pre-intervention) and post-intervention at 4 weeks
The Parent Anger Scale (PAS) is a 30-item self-report measure assessing the frequency and intensity of parental anger in response to child-related situations. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree). Score Range: Total Score Range: 30 to 150 Higher Scores: indicate greater frequency and intensity of parental anger Lower Scores: reflect better emotional regulation and lower anger expression in parenting contexts
