Abstract:
Despite the increase in research in parenting skills, intervention programs, methods, and their evaluation remain segmented across different disciplines. This systematic literature review assessed and synthesized the existing literature on intervention programs aimed at parents or caregivers of children, and how they can promote positive parenting skills. Based on studies published between 2020 and 2025 in various databases (Web of Science, EBSCO, and Scopus), 13 peer-reviewed articles that fully met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. The results demonstrated that parental interventions, even with different formats and applied in diverse cultural contexts, are effective in improving parenting practices and, outcomes for children. Interventions based on psychoeducation, modeling, reinforcement, and personalized feedback proved to be the most effective. Future research may adopt a more inclusive approach regarding languages and publication sources.
