Abstract

The quality of teamwork in Child Advocacy Center (CAC) multidisciplinary teams is likely to affect the extent to which the CAC model improves outcomes for children and families. This study examines associations between team functioning and performance in a statewide sample of CAC teams. Multidisciplinary team members (N = 433) from 21 CACs completed measures of affective, behavioral, and cognitive team functioning. Team performance was assessed with three measures: team member ratings of overall performance, ratings of mental health screening/referral frequency, and caregiver satisfaction surveys. Linear mixed models and regression analyses tested associations between team functioning and performance. Affective team functioning (i.e., liking, trust, and respect; psychological safety) and cognitive team functioning (i.e., clear direction) were significantly associated with team members' ratings of overall performance. Behavioral team functioning (i.e., coordination) and cognitive team functioning were significantly associated with mental health screening/referral frequency. Team functioning was not associated with caregiver satisfaction with CAC services. Aspects of team functioning were associated with team members' perceptions of overall performance and mental health screening/referral frequency, but not caregiver satisfaction. Understanding associations between team functioning and performance in multidisciplinary teams can inform efforts to improve service quality in CACs and other team-based service settings.

儿童倡导中心多学科团队的团队运作和表现。

儿童倡导中心（CAC）多学科团队的团队合作质量可能会影响CAC模型在多大程度上改善儿童和家庭的结果。这项研究考察了全州CAC团队样本中团队功能和绩效之间的关系。来自21个CAC的多学科团队成员（N=433）完成了情感、行为和认知团队功能的测量。团队绩效通过三项指标进行评估：团队成员整体绩效评级、心理健康筛查/转诊频率评级和护理人员满意度调查。线性混合模型和回归分析测试了团队功能和绩效之间的关联。情感团队功能（即喜欢、信任和尊重；心理安全）和认知团队功能（如明确的方向）与团队成员的整体表现评分显著相关。行为团队功能（即协调）和认知团队功能与心理健康筛查/转诊频率显著相关。团队功能与护理人员对CAC服务的满意度无关。团队功能的各个方面与团队成员对整体表现和心理健康筛查/转诊频率的看法有关，但与护理人员的满意度无关。了解多学科团队中团队运作和绩效之间的关联，可以为提高CAC和其他基于团队的服务环境中的服务质量提供信息。
