Single session email consultation for parents

An evaluation of its effect on empowerment


Beschrijving

This study evaluated the effect of single session email consultation on empowerment of parents. Practitioners in a control group (N = 19) received no training; practitioners in an experimental group (N = 21) were trained to use empowerment oriented techniques in online consultation. Parental empowerment was measured (n=96) through a questionnaire based on the Family Empowerment Scale (Koren, DeChillo, & Friesen, 1992) before and after receiving an advice from a trained or a non-trained practitioner. Parents showed a significant increase in the subscale of self-confidence (Cohen’s d = 0.33). Study findings lend support to the feasibility of single session email consultation as a brief intervention to improve self-confidence of parents. A training for practitioners did not influence the outcomes.
