Resumen

Antecedentes: la negligencia es la tipología más frecuente de maltrato infantil. Sus secuelas pueden ser incluso más dañinas que el maltrato físico o el abuso sexual, particularmente a edades tempranas, apoyando la importancia de intervenciones preventivas y precoces. En este artículo se presentan resultados de la primera implantación piloto en España de SafeCare, un programa basado en la evidencia para la intervención con familias negligentes o en riesgo con niños 0-5 años. Método: entre 2014 y 2017, los Servicios de Protección Infantil de Gipúzkoa y San Sebastián derivaron 89 familias al programa. De ellas, 46 lo completaron. Antes y después del tratamiento se evaluaron competencias parentales, sintomatología depresiva, potencial de maltrato físico, estrés parental y percepción de problemas de conducta. Resultados: se observaron mejoras significativas en competencias parentales, potencial de maltrato físico, estrés parental y percepción de problemas de conducta, y una elevada satisfacción de los padres y madres participantes. Conclusiones: los resultados sugieren que SafeCare puede ser útil para familias con signos tempranos de negligencia. Se constató también la viabilidad de la implantación de un programa basado en la evidencia en Servicios de Protección Infantil en España. Sería necesario replicar estos hallazgos con muestras más amplias y diseños experimentales
