Background: We examined the acceptance of and satisfaction with a time-adapted form of the Triple P parenting program in psychiatric treatment for children. Methods: 39 mothers and 14 fathers from 40 families with children aged 4-11 years with predominantly expansive disorders participated in this study. Socioeconomic status was low in 21 families and high in only 2 cases. At the beginning of the parent group training 22 children were outpatients, 14 day clinic patients and 4 inpatients. Satisfaction with the training was measured by a German version of the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ). With a specially developed questionnaire parents were asked about the frequency with which they still used Triple P strategies 6 months after training. Results: 39 out of 40 families completed the training. All parents evaluated the group program from good to excellent. No significant differences could be found for program satisfaction depending on socioeconomic status, treatment setting or ICD-10 diagnosis. At 6-month follow-up (dropout rate: 22.6%), 90% of the parents used about half of the Triple P strategies occasionally to regularly. Conclusions: A time-adapted form of the Triple P group training seems to be highly acceptable as a parent-focused intervention in a child psychiatry setting, independent of socioeconomic status.
