Resumen:
Children with acquired brain injury (ABI) are at risk of impairments in
self-regulation and disruptive behavior. We aimed to investigate the
effectiveness of the Signposts program to reduce disruptive behavior and
improve self-regulation in Hispanic children with ABI, and reduce
parental stress and improve parenting practices. Using a randomized
controlled trial design, we assigned children (n = 71) and their parents
to Signposts or generic telephone support. Blinded assessors conducted
assessments at pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention, and at 3
months post-intervention. Signposts was effective in reducing
dysfunctional parenting practices. Further, when analyzing participants
at risk of behavioral disturbance (n = 46), Signposts was effective in
reducing child disruptive behavior in the home environment and emotional
self-regulation. No differences were found for parental stress, parent
sense of competence, child disruptive behaviors at school, and child
cognitive and behavioral self-regulation. The reduction in disruptive
behavior was associated with the implementation of authoritative
parenting practices (external regulation), and not associated with child
self-regulation.
