  • Parental satisfaction was measured across four subscales: personal (emotional, cognitive), marital, parental, and extended family.
  • Statistical analyses examined differences in satisfaction based on parent sex, child's diagnosis, and income.

    • Main Results:

    • The majority of parents reported high satisfaction with the intervention, feeling it aided adaptation and provided confidence in child care.
    • Significant differences in satisfaction were observed related to parent sex, child's diagnosis, and annual income.
    • Mothers of infants with Down syndrome reported higher personal-emotional support satisfaction; low-income families showed greater overall satisfaction.

    Conclusions:

    • The family intervention program generally enhances parental adaptation and confidence.
    • Socioeconomic factors and specific diagnoses influence parental satisfaction levels.
    • Further research is needed to explore nuances and optimize early intervention strategies for diverse families.
