ABSTRACT
A la hora de poner en marcha procesos de innovación en los servicios de intervención familiar que supongan la incorporación de programas basadas en la evidencia (PBE), es fundamental considerar el papel que desempeñan los/as profesionales, ya que de ellos depende en gran parte la fidelidad y calidad de la implementación de los programas. Este estudio se centra en analizar las actitudes de profesionales hacia las prácticas basadas en la evidencia, así como su percepción y valoración del Programa de Intervención Familiar (PIF), desarrollado en el Ayuntamiento de Pamplona (España) dentro de la cartera de servicios de preservación familiar. Los participantes fueron los/as 27 profesionales que aplican el PIF, que cumplimentaron la escala Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale (EBPAS) y la de Expectativas y Valoración Inicial del PIF (EVI-PIF). Los resultados obtenidos mostraron la relación existente entre las actitudes hacia las prácticas basadas en la evidencia y algunas características de los/as profesionales. Asimismo, también se encontró relación significativa entre una alta valoración del PIF y unas actitudes positivas hacia los PBE. Estos resultados avalan la importancia de las actitudes profesionales como elementos que pueden facilitar o dificultar los procesos de innovación y mejora en los servicios de atención e intervención familiar (AU)
When implementing innovation processes in family intervention services that involve the incorporation of eviden-ce-based programmes (EBP), it is essential to take into consideration the role played by professionals, since the fidelity and quality of the implementation of the programmes largely depends on them. This study focuses on analysing the attitudes of professionals towards EBP, as well as their perception and assessment of the Family Intervention Programme (FIP), developed in the family prevention services of Pamplona City Council (Spain). The participants in the study were the 27 professionals who implement the FIP, who completed the Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale (EBPAS) and he Expectations and Initial Assessment of the FIP (EVI-FIP). The results obtained showed the relationship between attitudes towards evidence-based practice and some characteristics of the professionals. A significant relationship was also found between a high valuation of the FIP and positive attitudes towards EBP. These results support the importance of professional attitudes as elements that can facilitate or hinder innovation and improvement processes in family care and intervention services. (AU)

Being a parent is complicated in typical circumstances, with a great psychological impact as well as feelings and experiences of great intensity. This impact is greater in families in vulnerable situations, such as those with children with mental health problems, receiving treatment in a clinical setting. Due to these challenges, parenting in these circumstances is often accompanied by experiences of stress. An approach that has shown evidence of effectiveness in mitigating the negative impact of stress is mindfulness-based interventions, including the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction intervention program. The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction intervention program is designed as a psychoeducational, instructional, multimodal, and structured program whose main objective is to provide strategies for the management, coping, and awareness of stress in order to reduce it. In this paper, a protocol for the implementation and evaluation of the original Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction intervention program with the added positive parenting component is presented, in order to systematize the incorporation of a parenting component in the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction intervention program, analyze its effectiveness for parents whose children have mental health problems (in terms of stress, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, general health, and parental role), explore the mechanisms of change operating in this intervention as perceived by the participants, and examine the application of acquired strategies to daily life.
