Introduction : This study examines the effectiveness of parenting classes for new parents in enhancing parental knowledge, self-efficacy, and reducing stress levels. Through comprehensive curricula, interactive sessions, and community engagement, parenting classes offer a holistic approach to addressing the diverse needs and challenges faced by new parents. From understanding infant care and early childhood development to managing sleep routines and disciplinary strategies, these classes provide a wealth of information tailored to the unique circumstances of each family.
Methods :A pretest-post test research design used with a sample size of 30 participants. Convenience sampling may be employed due to the accessibility of participants
Results: Indicated significant improvements in parental knowledge, self-efficacy, and reductions in stress levels following participation in parenting classes. Participants reported high levels of satisfaction with the program, with highlighting the value of peer support and practical strategies learned. Demographic disparities in program effectiveness were minimal, and regression analysis identified higher baseline levels of parental stress as predictors of greater improvements in parental self-efficacy.
Conclusion:- These findings underscore the importance of investing in evidence-based parenting education programs to support families and promote positive outcomes for children. Implications for policy, program development, healthcare integration, professional training, family support services, and future research are discussed.
