Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to explore the delivery of the Group Lifestyle Triple P (GLTP) parent group programme through digital practice. Eight mothers of obese children aged 6鈥?1 were recruited from a university hospital. Using a mixed鈥恗ethods approach, the study sought to characterise the perceived changes throughout the intervention and explore the outcome measures on children鈥檚 BMI z鈥恠core, weight鈥恟elated behaviour problems, parents鈥?self鈥恊fficacy, interparental conflict and parenting styles assessed pre鈥?and post鈥恑ntervention. Participants identified changes in themselves, in positive parenting, and in their ability to manage children鈥檚 nutrition and physical activity, contributing to improve children鈥檚 lifestyle behaviours. The clinical results were similar to the findings of studies in which GLTP was delivered in鈥恜erson. Delivering GLTP through digital practice seems to be a possible way of implementing the intervention, particularly during the COVID鈥?9 pandemic. GLTP sessions鈥?contents and activities were adapted for digital delivery without compromising the programme鈥檚 implementation fidelity. Parents perceived an increase in positive parenting behaviours and their ability to manage children鈥檚 nutrition and physical activity. The clinical results of the GLTP delivered through digital practice were similar to those of studies in which the programme was delivered in鈥恜erson.
