Abstract

Objective: Occurrence of behavioral problems during the childhood years has an adverse effect on the child's mental and physical development process and if not treated, it can lead to chronic physical and psychological problems in the child. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of schema-based parenting training on mothers' parenting self-efficacy, self-concept and parental acceptance of children with internalized disorders.
Methods: The research was semi-experimental (pre-test, post-test and follow-up design with control group). The statistical sample included 30 mothers and children with internalized problems who were randomly assigned to two experimental groups (15 people) and a control group (15 people). The experimental groups were given schema-based parenting training for 8 sessions of 90 minutes. Children's self-concept scale, parental rejection-acceptance questionnaire, parental self-efficacy questionnaire were used to collect information. The data were analyzed based on multivariate analysis of variance with repeated measurements and SPSS-24 software.
Results: The findings showed that approach of schema-based parenting education was effective in improving mothers' parenting self-efficacy, self-concept and children's parental acceptance (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this research it can be said that schema-based parenting education can help parents to know themselves correctly, learn the correct principles of parenting, control their own emotions and problems, lead to the improvement of mothers' parenting self-efficacy, self-concept and parental acceptance of children with internalized problems.
