3. Résumé

The results «highlight the diversity of practitioners’ experiences in the implementation of an EBP [evidence-based program]. The practitioners in the conviction discourse group appear to have been motivated from the beginning by the belief that the investment of time and energy required to assimilate this new program would be worth it. […] On the other hand, initial commitment appears to have been more challenging for practitioners in the mastering discourse group, who reported a neutral, or even sceptical initial attitude towards this change required by their organisation. […] Indeed, practitioners in the conviction discourse group saw Triple P saw Triple P as a way to strengthen community links, promote positive practices, and prevent child and family health and social problems through a partnership approach. An explanation based on their testimony could be that their involvement in the implementation project and their positive attitudes towards the program reaffirmed their fundamental values and beliefs […] as advocates of an ecosystemic and preventive vision of community well-being. On the other hand, the more reluctant subgroup of practitioners […] saw the behavioural approach of Triple P as a threat to the empowerment of parents, a view that incidentally contrasted with that of the other participants, who reported greatly appreciating the self-regulation framework promoted by Triple P.» (p. 489-490)
