MPPAI-dual Trial

Post-adoption interventions aimed to promote parental well-being and parenting quality are an urgent need. Although research on mindful parenting interventions for adoptive parents is scarce, this seems to be a promising approach in the field. Both fathers and mothers’ mindful parenting abilities seem to contribute to the child’s well-being and including the parental dyad in parenting programs seems to improve both parents’ and child’s outcomes, as well as to maintain improvements over time. This evidence suggests that include the parental dyad in Mindful Parenting Interventions may be a promising practice among adoptive dual-parent families. However, to ensure that the program meets the needs and preferences of both parents, it is essential to adapt it to several gender and dual-parent specificities. This study aims to develop and evaluate a gender and dual-parent sensitive version (MPPAI-dual) of the Mindful Parenting Post-Adoption Intervention. Acceptability, feasibility, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness studies will be conducted.
