Parent Involvement Intervention Approaches for Traumatised Children: A Systematic Review Study

Öz

Exposure to traumatic events leads to serious and long-term impairments and consequences on the individual. A serious consequence of exposure to trauma is post-traumatic stress disorder. Among the evidence-based treatments applied in the intervention of trauma symptoms in children, it is seen that intervention programmes that provide parental involvement come to the fore, but there is a lack of information on how to provide treatment of problems related to trauma symptoms, especially for families with young children. In this study, it was aimed to examine the components of parent involvement intervention programmes applied in the intervention of traumatised children. For this purpose, a systematic review was conducted in three databases, Web of Science (WOS), PubMed and Scopus, following PRISMA guidelines. As a result of the search, 28 articles were included in the scope of the research. In the results obtained, the intervention contents were analysed in four categories: basic theory, components, session structure, techniques/applications. In general, it was seen that the interventions were attachment-based and focused on the parent-child relationship, but it was observed that the intervention contents differed and varied in terms of the categories determined.

Travmatize Çocuklara Yönelik Ebeveyn Katılımlı Müdahale Yaklaşımları: Sistematik Derleme Çalışması

Öz

Travmatik olaylar ile karşılaşmak birey üzerinde ciddi ve uzun vadeli bozulmalara ve sonuçlara yol açmaktadır. Travmaya maruz kalmanın ciddi bir sonucu travma sonrası stres bozukluğudur. Çocuklarda görülen travma semptomlarına müdahalede uygulanan kanıta dayalı tedaviler arasında ebeveyn katılımını sağlayan müdahale programlarının ön plana çıktığı görülmekte iken özellikle küçük çocuklu aileler için travma semptomlarına bağlı problemlerin tedavisinin nasıl sağlanacağı konusunda bilgi eksiklikleri bulunmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda yapılan çalışmada travmatize çocuklara müdahalede uygulanan ebeveyn katılımlı müdahale programlarının bileşenlerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç kapsamında PRISMA yönergeleri takip edilerek Web of Science (WOS), PubMed ve Scopus olmak üzere üç veri tabanında sistematik derleme çalışması yapılmıştır. Yapılan tarama sonucunda 28 makale araştırma kapsamına dahil edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlarda müdahale içerikleri temel teori, bileşenler, seans yapısı, teknikler/ uygulamalar olmak üzere dört kategoride incelenmiştir. Genel anlamda müdahalelerin bağlanma temelli olduğu ve ebeveyn-çocuk ilişkisine odaklandığı görülmekle birlikte müdahale içeriklerinin belirlenen kategoriler açısından farklılaştığı ve çeşitlilik gösterdiği görülmüştür.
