[Development and feasibility analysis of a parenting strategy mini-program for preventing anxiety and depression in adolescents].
摘要
OBJECTIVES: Anxiety and depression are increasingly prevalent among adolescents, and parental parenting practices play a crucial role in the development of these emotional problems. This study aims to develop a mini-program based parenting strategy to prevent anxiety and depression in adolescents, conduct a feasibility analysis, and evaluate its preliminary effects, thereby providing scientific evidence for establishing preventive service systems for adolescent mental health. METHODS: Guided by the Persuasive System Design model, a preliminary parenting strategy for preventing adolescent anxiety and depression was developed based on literature review, literature screening and quality appraisal, and qualitative interviews. In October 2023, the Delphi method was used to revise the program through expert consultation. Software engineers collaborated with the research team to develop and refine both the mini-application front end and the web-based management backend using an agile development model, resulting in the final version of the "Smart Growth Assistant" mini-application. For feasibility and preliminary effectiveness evaluation, 30 parents of adolescents were recruited online via convenience sampling between December 2023 and January 2024 to participate in an 8-week intervention delivered entirely through the mini-application. Feasibility outcomes included a researcher-developed satisfaction questionnaire, the System Usability Scale (SUS), and user-experience interviews. Preliminary effectiveness outcomes included the short-form Parental Stress Scale, Parenting Sense of Competence Scale, Parenting Behavior Questionnaire, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), and the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale. RESULTS: >0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The mini-program based parenting strategy for preventing adolescent anxiety and depression demonstrated good feasibility. It provides parents with a comprehensive, systematic, and effective individualized guidance program to
