Implementing Triple P Online for Baby in Prince Edward Island: the facilitators and barriers identified by parents who are newcomers to Canada

The purpose of this study was to highlight the facilitators and barriers to implementing Triple P Online for Baby on Prince Edward Island, identified by parents who are newcomers to Canada. A review of the literature associated with the newest member of the Triple P parenting program family, Triple P Online for Baby, was conducted to develop an understanding of the area of study. The introduction of this study explores the various theoretical foundations of Triple P Online for Baby, the fundamental principles of the program, several factors of past implementations of Triple P, and a brief review of the current evidence base surrounding the program. This study involved eight parents who self-identified as newcomers to Canada and as parents who were either expecting a newborn child or were the legal caregivers of a baby one year or younger. This sample was interviewed through semi-structured interviews. These interviews were then analyzed through reflexive thematic analysis to develop common themes. Six themes emerged from the interviews: positive outlook of Triple P Online for Baby, online parenting programs, practical concerns, support groups, financial considerations, and raising awareness. These themes are further discussed to reveal potential facilitators and barriers to implementing the positive parenting program in PEI. The study then concludes with an evaluation of the study's limitations, future research recommendations, and future implications of the research.
