Background & Aim: The quality of communication between parents and adolescents can have profound effect on adolescents’ attitudes towards them and the formation of their emotional and social relationships. This study aimed to determine the effect of parent-child relationship training for parents on adolescents’ attitudes towards them.
Methods & Materials: This quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group was conducted on students aged 16 to 18 and their parents in 2023. In this study, 56 parents of students with poor parent-child relationships were placed in the intervention and control groups (28 people in each group) along with the relevant student. Parents in the intervention group received training on improving parent-child relationships, while the control group did not receive training. After 21 days, the quality of the parent-child relationship and adolescents’ attitudes towards parents were assessed. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 27 software using independent t-test, paired t-test, Mann-Whitney, Fisher and Chi-square tests.
Results: The two groups were homogeneous in terms of demographic characteristics (P>0.05). The results showed that after the intervention, the quality of the parent-child relationship and adolescents' attitudes towards parents in the intervention group significantly improved compared to before the intervention and compared to the control group (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Training in parent-child communication skills has a positive effect on improving parental relationships and adolescents' attitudes. These findings emphasize the importance of including parenting training in family education programs.
