3.3. Effectiveness of the Intervention in Improving Parenting Style and Quality of Life
INTERACTION
We performed baseline (pre-intervention) comparisons between the intervention and the control group. The results show that all the “Quality of life” dimensions (“Family Interaction”, “Parenting”, “Emotional Well-being”, “Physical/Material Well-being” and “Disability-Related Support”) had no statistically different mean values at baseline. In regard to the “Parenting style” dimensions, the results indicate that except for the “Authoritative Parenting Style”, the “Authoritarian Parenting Style” and the “Permissive Parenting Style” had statistically significant different mean values at baseline (see We also conducted post-intervention comparisons between the intervention and the control group (see According to the results of the intervention group, no variable showed a statistically significant difference in the mean values between the pre-intervention and the post-intervention scores greater than 95% (or According to the results presented in Unlike the initial clusters table, the final clusters presented in the table below take into account the actual mean values for most variables per intervention stage. Therefore, the analysis appears to be consistent with the descriptive statistics initially presented in the table of the characteristic elements of the sample of the experimental group (measures of position and dispersion). Therefore, the clustering should be considered successful.According to the results of the ANOVA test (see The analysis (In summary, the ANOVA results suggest that several factors related to “family interactions”, “parenting”, “emotional well-being”, “physical/material well-being” and “disability-related support” show significant differences between the initial and final clusters. This indicates that the intervention program had a notable impact on these aspects of the participants’ lives. However, “Authoritarian” and “Permissive Parenting Styles” did not significantly change between the clusters, while “Authoritative Parenting Style”, with a new, dimension did exhibit a significant difference.
