Abstract: Objective To systematically review and summarize the outcomes of parenting interventions designed to improve child and/or parenting behavior for children born preterm and/or low birth weight (LBW). Methods We conducted systematic searches of Embase, Scopus, PubMed, PsycInfo, and CINAHL in September 2021. We identified articles published at any time that describe the outcomes of parenting interventions targeting the child and/or parenting behavior of children born preterm/LBW and their caregivers. Two independent raters assessed the risk of bias using the Revised Cochrane Risk-of-Bias Tool. Results Eight hundred sixteen titles and abstracts were screened, followed by 71 full-text articles, resulting in 24 eligible articles reporting on nine interventions with 1,676 participants. Eligible articles had an adequate risk of bias ratings. Sample characteristics, intervention components, and intervention effects were tabulated and described narratively by the intervention type. Preventative and treatment programs demonstrated positive intervention effects on externalizing behavior, parenting stress, and parenting behaviors, with mixed effects on internalizing behavior and emotion regulation. The few studies with longitudinal follow-up found little evidence of effects beyond 6 months postintervention. Conclusion Behavior problems in children born preterm/LBW may be modifiable, and interventions targeting parenting behavior are promising. However, existing interventions may not produce long-lasting changes and are not designed for children older than four. Existing treatment programs may require adaptation for the neurocognitive, medical, and family needs of children born preterm/LBW (e.g. processing speed deficits, post-traumatic stress). Interventions that account for theories of sustained change may promote long-term effectiveness and the developmental tailoring of parenting skills. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
