Resumen

Este programa tiene como objetivo fundamental intervenir grupalmente con las familias usuarias de los servicios sociales municipales que están en situación de riesgo psicosocial. Estos padres, que viven en familias multi-problema, tienen un nivel educativo bajo y muestran una conducta inadecuada con sus hijos que compromete seriamente su desarrollo. El programa pretende apoyar y desarrollar sus competencias y habilidades parentales y posibilitar la permanencia de los hijos en el hogar familiar. Un convenio de colaboración suscrito entre el Cabildo de Tenerife, la Fundación ECCA y la Universidad de La Laguna, ha permitido la implementación, el seguimiento y la evaluación del programa en varios ayuntamientos de la isla. El programa se ha evaluado siguiendo un diseño cuasi-experimental (pretest-postest y solo postest-grupo control) en el que participaron 340 madres, 185 madres habían realizado el programa y 155 constituyeron el grupo control. Las madres del programa, respecto a las madres del grupo control, disminuyeron su apoyo a las ideas Nurturistas e Innatistas así como el uso de prácticas Permisivas-Negligentes y Coercitivas. Asimismo mostraron una mayor Autoeficacia, Locus interno, Acuerdo marital, Dificultad en el rol, así como un mayor uso de prácticas Inductivas.

Abstract

The evaluation of the “Apoyo Personal y Familiar” (APF) or Personal and Family Support programme for low-educated mothers from extremely deprived and multi-problem families showing inadequate behaviour with their children is reported. A formal agreement between the Tenerife (Canary Islands) government, the ECCA foundation and La Laguna University allowed the programme to be implemented. A total of 340 mothers referred by the Tenerife (Spain) social services participated in the programme, 185 of these mothers followed the APF programme during eight months, and 155 mothers served as the control group. Pre-post test comparisons for the intervention group and only post-test comparisons with the control group on self-rating measures of maternal beliefs, child-rearing practices and personal agency were performed. Mothers' support of Nurturist and Nativist beliefs and the reported use of Neglect-permissive and Coercive practices significantly decreased after the programme's completion. Self-efficacy, Internal control, Marital agreement, Role difficulty and the reported use of Inductive practices significantly increased. Most of these changes were also significant in relation to those of the control group.
