Resumen

La llegada de un bebé supone un período en el que los progenitores experimentan importantes necesidades de apoyo e información. Fruto de un Convenio suscrito entre el Servicio Andaluz de Salud y el Departamento de Psicología Evolutiva y de la Educación de la Universidad de Sevilla, se elaboró una colección de siete revistas dirigidas a futuros padres y madres con el objetivo de promover una transición a la paternidad y la maternidad satisfactoria que contribuyera a favorecer el desarrollo de sus bebés. La evaluación del programa se llevó a cabo comparando un grupo control (familias que no habían participado en la formación) con un grupo experimental (familias que sí habían participado en la formación). Los resultados encontrados muestran que los padres y las madres que participaron en el programa vivieron una transición a la paternidad y la maternidad más satisfactoria y, además, mantenían interacciones más estimulantes con sus bebés. Estos resultados ponen de manifiesto la importancia que tiene la implementación de programas preventivos de apoyo en el proceso de convertirse en padres y madres.

Abstract

The onset of parenthood with the arrival of a baby is a time when parents have important needs in terms of support and information. Thanks to an Agreement between the Andalusian Health Service and the University of Seville's Department of Developmental Psychology, a set of seven booklets were designed for future parents promoting a satisfactory transition to parenthood and, in turn, favour the development of their babies. The programme was evaluated by comparing the control group (families who had not participated in the training programme) with the experimental group (families who had participated in the programme). According to the results, the parents participating in the programme enjoyed a more satisfactory transition to parenthood, and had more stimulating interactions with their babies. These results show the importance of preventive support programmes during the process of becoming parents.
