Abstract

The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of strength-based parenting training on the psychological well-being of adolescents and the self-efficacy of parents. Research was a quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test, follow-up and control group. The study population included parents of adolescents aged 12 to 18 years in Tehran in 1401-1400 who participated in virtual networks through information. The research sample consisted of 44 people (22 people in the experimental group and 22 people in the control group) were selected by available sampling method and considering entry and baseline condition. After matching, both groups were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. In matching, both groups were equal in terms of having the same age of teenagers and gender of parents. To collect data Dumka and et al.'s parent self-efficacy questionnaire (1996) and Ryff 's psychological well-being questionnaire (1989) were used in the stages before and after the implementation of the program and three months after the training. The strength-based parenting training program was presented to the experimental group in 8 two-hour sessions. In order to analyze the data with SPSS22 software, the mixed variance analysis method was used. The findings showed that that strength-based parenting training has a significant effect on increasing the self-efficacy of parents and the psychological well-being of adolescents (P ≥ 0.001). This effect remained stable in the three-month follow-up phase. Therefore, by using strength-based parenting training, it is possible to improve the self-efficacy of parents and the psychological well-being of adolescents.
