  1. Implementing PMTO in The Nederlands Implementation study Nienke Bekkema Karin Wiefferink TNO Quality of Life

  2. Presentation today • Rationales to implement PMTO in The Netherlands • Why implementation research? • Research method • Preliminary results and learned lessons • Future plans

  3. Participating agencies Dutch research institutes • TNO Quality of Life • University of Maastricht Dutch youth care agencies • Bascule Amsterdam • Cardea and Rivierduinen, Leiden • Youthcare Drenthe Foreign partners • OSLC (Oregon Social Learning Centre) • ISII (Implementation Sciences International, Inc)

  4. Why implementing PMTO in The Netherlands? • Increase in behavior problems & youngsters involved in criminality • Lack of evidence based interventions • Journey to find high quality evidence based interventions abroad • PMTO has good potential to fit into the Dutch context

  5. PMTO: Parent Management Training Oregon • Based on Social Interaction Learning Theory (SIL, Patterson, 2005) • The effectiveness of PMTO has been extensively demonstrated • Intensive system of quality control • Introduction in The Netherlands started in 2006 • Other European countries that work with PMTO: Norway, Iceland and Denmark

  6. Why study the implementation of PMTO? • Efficacy does not necessarily lead to effectiveness in “real world practice” Implementing innovations is no simple matter: several factors can help or hinder the process of implementation • Risk: intervention is not used as intended: Effectiveness of the intervention is endangered • However: empirically studying implementation processes is still very new in youth research

  7. Implementation strategy Socio-political environment Organisation Therapist Implementation Effectiveness PMTO Model: introducing innovations in organisations (Paulussen et al, 2007)

  8. Aim of implementation study: • Collect knowledge on all success and failure factors that influence the implementation on PMTO to: • Construct a tailored implementation strategy • Enlarge treatment integrity and effectiveness

  9. Research questions • What are the expectations of therapists regarding PMTO? • Which success and failure factors affect the implementation of PMTO and to what extent do the success and failure factors change as a result of the implementation and working with PMTO?

  10. Research method • Semi-structured interviews and questionnaires • Managers of youth care agencies (n=4) • PMTO-coordinators (n=4) • PMTO-therapists (n=30) • Non-PMTO-therapists (n=27) • 4 assessment moments

  11. Preliminary resultsQuestionnaires Table 1. Expectations concerning PMTO * t-test, p<0.05.

  12. Preliminary resultslearned lessons during interviews Reasons to adopt PMTO: • Managers: • Evidence-based • Match with mission and policy • Therapists: • Career perspective • Education • Coaching en supervision • Recruitment of agencies and therapists should be tailored to their expectations

  13. Screening and influx of families • Insufficient influx of families can be caused by: • Parental objections against video and amount of questionnaires • Internal mismatch of family and intervention

  14. PMTO education and supervision • Education and supervision are important factors in facilitating the use of PMTO as intended • Group supervision by means of video fragments of family sessions: informative and objective

  15. Dutch PMTO treatment • First experiences are very good: • “PMTO is a treatment, no training. The manual should offer the reader a “PMTO-menu” with different ingredients to choose from” • Role-play is valued by therapists and parents for practicing new techniques in an active manner • Pay extra attention to: • Objections of parents against video and questionnaires: clear face-to-face explanation. • Motivating parents: e.g. by SMS en email

  16. Conclusion • We identified success and failure factors influencing the implementation of PMTO • Input for constructing an (national) implementation strategy and implementation manual for introducing PMTO in new organizations

  17. Future research plans: Implementation study • Analysis of therapist conceptions and attitudes (questionnaire data) • Analysis of therapist fidelity related to family outcomes

  18. Other plans Effectiveness study • 2008: Randomized Controlled Trial: PMTO compared to care as usual Expert centre • Ensure quality control PMTO
