| description | Introduction: One of the main determinants of adolescents’ life satisfaction is
parenting skills. Due to the lack of educational trials in this field, this research
was done to evaluate the effect of a parenting education program on girls’ life
satisfaction in governmental guidance schools of Shiraz.
Methods: This study is an educational randomized controlled trial. At first,
152 female students in 2nd grade of governmental guidance schools and 304
parents(152 mother and 152 father) were selected by multistage random
cluster sampling method. Then, they were categorized into experimental and
control groups. Before and after the intervention, data were collected from two
groups using multidimensional students’ life satisfaction scale with stability
(Cronbach’s alpha=0.89), test–retest and correlation coefficient (r=0.70).
Educational intervention for parents was performed in the experimental group
through presentations with question and answer, discussion in small groups
and distribution of educational booklets in 5 volumes. Finally, the data were
analyzed using SPSS 14 and through Mann-Whitney test, Chi-square test,
Fisher’s Exact test, Wilcoxon test.
Results: Before the intervention, the experimental and control groups did not
show a statistically significant difference based on the demographic variables.
Thetotal of life satisfaction scores and also its subscales in the experimental
and control group, before and six weeks after the educational interventiondid
showstatisticallysignificant difference (p<0.001). The scores of differences
(pre-test/post-test) in total life satisfaction between the experimental and
control groups were statistically significant difference (p<0.001).
Conclusion: According to low scores of the students in the pre-test, especially
in the control group which didn’t undergo any educational program,holding
scheduled educational intervention is necessary. This study not only supports
the effectiveness of educational intervention but also recommends further
educational research to develop knowledge regarding patterns of parenting
education. |
