Mytton, J., Ingram, J., Manns, S. & Thomas. J. (2014). Facilitators and Barriers to
Engagement in Parenting Programs: A Qualitative Systematic Review, Health Education &
Behavior, 41(2), 127-137.
A. This paper offers a systematic review of researchers and deliverers, and participants
of parenting programmes. The aim was to analyse these groups perspectives on
aspects that facilitate and constrain parenting programmes in order to describe
adjustments that could be made to attain higher engagement and retention in such
programmes. The authors also aimed at using the data to develop a parenting
programme for parents whose children had recently suffered an unintentional injury.
This review included research from UK, New Zealand, USA, Australia and Canada.
These are western, developed countries. I do not agree with the notion that lack of
retention and engagement in parenting programmes are due to “stigmatization, guilt,
or concern by carers that parents are perceived to be inadequate” (Mytton, Ingram,
Manns & Thomas, 2014:127), when relating parenting programmes to the South
African context. Within the context of South Africa, parenting programmes are a
middle to upper class activity as it requires both time and money, which is not in
abundance in developing countries. However, I do agree that those who are fortunate
enough to attend, do so to learn more about interacting with their child and learn from
others as the review describes. However, there is no stigma attached to this, I would
even go on a limb to say that participation in such a programme is a sign of economic
stability. In addition, parents could use these programmes to gain entrance into new
social circles, filled with financial prosperity.
I found it interesting that parents seem to value having “tutors that are non-
judgemental and empathetic rather than having a well-trained” (Mytton, 2014:130),
which is the focus of deliverers and researchers in the review. This could be linked to
the idea of stigma again as it seems to be prevalent in the nations studied.
Although I do not have any children and therefore do not find this reviews content
useful, I would like to know more about the “text mining tools in EPPI- Reviews”
