摘要

Background

Parents with mental health conditions often face specific challenges in their parental role that are not adequately addressed in psychotherapeutic care. Target group-specific digital interventions can provide a low-threshold addition to strengthen parenting skills and reduce stress.

Objective

The aim was to develop a participatory transdiagnostic digital parenting training (TEPSY) for parents experiencing psychological distress and to conduct an initial examination of user experiences.

Material and methods

In collaboration with parents experiencing psychological distress, an app comprising 10 modules on parenthood-relevant topics, such as stress, emotion regulation and communication, was developed. A qualitative feasibility study analyzed participants’ feedback on the contents of the app with respect to acceptability, comprehensibility and perceived usefulness.

Results

The feedback indicated that the content was highly acceptable and comprehensible. The tone and content of the app were both perceived as supportive and reassuring; however, areas for further development were also identified, particularly regarding greater consideration of different age groups of children and deeper elaboration of selected modules.

Conclusion

The findings underscore the potential of participatory digital interventions in supporting parents experiencing psychological distress. The training could complement psychotherapeutic care and serve as self-help tools. Further refinement and effectiveness studies are warranted. Overall, the study suggests that participatory digital parenting training can be valuable in supporting this target group.
