简要总结
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT) for foster families in Denmark on child mental health and well-being, parental stress, mental health, and reflective function, parental mind-mindedness and the parent-child relationship.
详细描述
Children placed in foster care are psychologically and physically vulnerable and show more social, developmental, and behavioral problems than children living with their family of origin. Many foster parents struggle to care for these children, some of whom have experienced serious adversity at a young age. The study examines the effects of Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT) in a cluster-randomized controlled trial with 175 foster families with children aged 4-17 years in 10 Danish municipalities.

结局指标
主要结局
Child mental health
时间窗: post-intervention (16 weeks)
The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) measures behavioral and emotional problems in children and adolescents. The CBCL consists of 113 questions, scored on a three-point Likert scale (0=absent, 1= occurs sometimes, 2=occurs often). The CBCL is completed by foster parents for all children in the trial, and the Youth Self-Report (YSR) is completed by the foster children or adolescents aged 11 and above. The CBCL is widely used and has proven to be a useful tool for detecting psychopathology in children and shows good results regarding both validity and reliability
