Abstract

Background: This study evaluated the effectiveness of an online intervention designed to improve parent–child interactions and address disordered eating behaviors in children. Using remote video-feedback sessions based on observations of mother–child feeding interactions, the intervention offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional in-person methods. Aims: The study aimed to assess the impact of online intervention on the quality of mother–child interactions during feeding and its effectiveness in reducing psychopathological symptoms in both mothers and children. Methods: The intervention was conducted entirely online, with improvements measured using SVIA scores for mother–child interactions and the SCL-90/R Global Severity Index (GSI) for maternal psychopathological symptoms, alongside evaluations of children’s emotional and behavioral functioning, particularly anxiety, depression, and aggression. Results: The intervention significantly improved the quality of mother–child interactions across all SVIA subscales and led to reductions in maternal symptoms of depression and anxiety, as well as decreases in children’s emotional and behavioral symptoms. Conclusions: These findings suggest that online video-feedback interventions can effectively enhance mother–child relationships and reduce psychopathological symptoms in both mothers and children, although further research with larger sample sizes and more robust statistical analyses is needed to confirm these results.
