These results are similar to those found
in other sustained
nurse home visiting studies, 1 14 although the
intervention impacted on a broader range of domains of the home environment for this subgroup of women than has been reported previously.1 An increasing body of evidence from both animal and human studies suggests that stress
in pregnancy has significant impacts on developmental and behavioural outcomes for children.29 While the mental development of children of mothers who were not distressed antenatally
in both the
intervention and comparison
groups was comparable with the general population, children's development was particularly poor
in the distressed subgroup
in the absence of the MECSH
intervention, suggesting that sustained
nurse home visiting may be particularly effective
in ameliorating some adverse developmental impacts for children of mothers with antenatal distress.
Recent findings suggest that, regardless of parity, the
group benefitting most from
nurse home visiting
interventions are mothers living
in impoverished areas who have lower psychosocial resources during pregnancy (despite the indices used to measure this).1 14 Trials that have had a broader client base,
in terms of parity and risk, for example, the New Zealand Early Start programme, 8 15 however, have not yet reported subgroup analyses.
A Cochrane review of
group - based parenting
interventions to improve parental psychosocial health found evidence to support the use of parenting programmes12 and a separate Cochrane review found some evidence that psychological therapies are beneficial for parents of CSHCN.13 Further evidence covering related issues have also been reviewed, for example, research on improving or supporting professional — parent collaborations
in managing CSHCN, 5 14
nursing research on parenting children with complex chronic conditions, 15 the nature of family engagement
in interventions for this population16 and the role of interactive media for parental education.17
One evaluation conducted
in Queensland, Australia, reported moderate reductions in depressive symptoms for mothers in the intervention group at the six - week follow - up.89 A subsequent follow - up, however, suggested that these benefits were not long lasting, as the depression effects had diminished by one year.90 Similarly, Healthy Families San Diego identified reductions in depression symptoms among program mothers during the first two years, but these effects, too, had diminished by year three.91 In Healthy Families New York, mothers at one site (that was supervised by a clinical psychologist) had lower rates of depression at one year (23 percent treatment vs. 38 percent controls).92 The Infant Health and Development program also demonstrated decreases in depressive symptoms after one year of home visiting, as well as at the conclusion of the program at three years.93 Among Early Head Start families, maternal depressive symptoms remained stable for the program group during the study and immediately after it ended, but decreased just before their children entered kindergarten.94 No program effects were found for maternal depression in the Nurse - Family Partnership, Hawaii Healthy Start, Healthy Families Alaska, or Early Start program

However, for both child abuse and parent stress, the average effect sizes were not different from zero, suggesting a lack of evidence for effects
in these areas.108 Earlier meta - analytic reviews have also noted the lack of sizable effects
in preventing child maltreatment — again citing the different intensity of surveillance of families
in the treatment versus control
groups as an explanation (though the authors did report that home visiting was associated with an approximately 25 percent reduction
in the rate of childhood injuries).109 Another review focusing on the quality of the home environment also found evidence for a significant overall effect of home - visiting programs.110 More recently, Harriet MacMillan and colleagues published a review of
interventions to prevent child maltreatment, and identified the
Nurse - Family Partnership and Early Start programs as the most effective with regard to preventing maltreatment and childhood injuries.
The first phase was a cluster randomised
intervention trial
in which general practices were randomly allocated to either an
intervention group,
in which
nurse - led collaborative care was undertaken, or to a wait - list control
group in which usual care led by the general practitioner (GP) was continued.
Interventions Families were randomly assigned to receive routine perinatal care (control
group; n = 184 participated
in follow - up), routine care plus
nurse home visits during pregnancy only (n = 100), or routine care plus
nurse home visits during pregnancy and through the child's second birthday (n = 116).

The pattern of results for predictors and moderators needs to be examined
in the context of the overall study findings, which showed no overall difference between the minimal
intervention bibliotherapy
group and the therapist - led treatments, no differences
in outcomes overall between the two types of therapists,
nurses, and psychologists, and dose effects when parents attended a sufficient number of sessions, a number that exceeds the number of sessions that families often attend
in clinic settings.

One
group received a minimal
intervention consisting of the companion book to the Incredible Years program, and two other
groups received treatment following either a primary care office model with
nurses providing the 12 - session
intervention or a mental health referral model
in which psychologists provided the
intervention.
Methods Twenty - four practices were randomized to conditions
in which parents of 117, 3 - to 6.11 - year - olds with ODD received the 12 - session Webster - Stratton Incredible Years program led by primary care
nurses or clinical psychologists, or to a minimal
intervention group in which parents received only the companion book to the treatment program.
