Evaluation of an NCAST-based psychoeducational program for promoting attitude toward nurturing the next generation

Abstract

A psychoeducational program for promoting attitude toward nurturing the next generation, based on the Nursing Child Assessment Satellite Training (NCAST) was evaluated. University students (N = 18) participated in a program that used NCAST material, such as the classification of infants' cues and child-caregiver relationships. Pre- and posttest scores on the assessment scales indicated some positive changes in the participants, which were suggestive of the effectiveness of this program.
