This randomized pilot study explored the viability and effectiveness of the Video-feedback Intervention to Promote Positive Parenting and Sensitive Discipline (VIPP-SD) for improving sensitivity in a group of 14 mothers of lower and upper socioeconomic status in Lima, Peru. Maternal sensitivity was assessed using the Maternal Behaviour Q-Set 3.1, based on the observation of one hour of free interactions at home. The effectiveness of the intervention was calculated on the basis of the difference between pre- and post-intervention sensitivity scores. Overall, we found no significant differences between the intervention group and the control group; however, when participants were sorted based on their pre-intervention sensitivity levels, low-sensitivity mothers who participated in the VIPP-SD program showed a significant improve in global sensitivity and in the Sensitive vs. Insensitive and Disengaged profiles, compared to low-sensitivity mothers in the control group. These findings are an initial contribution to establishing the viability and effectiveness of the VIPP-SD for the improvement of maternal sensitivity, especially for groups of low-sensitivity mothers in situations of greater psychosocial vulnerability.
