Abstract

This pilot study integrated quantitative and qualitative data to examine the feasibility of implementing a modified version of a multiple family group behavioral parent training intervention (The 4Rs and 2Ss for Strengthening Families Program [4Rs and 2Ss]) in child welfare (CW) placement prevention services, from the perspectives of participating caregivers (n = 12) and CW staff (n = 12; i.e., 6 caseworkers, 4 supervisors, and 2 administrators). Quantitative surveys were administered to caregivers and CW staff followed by semi-structured interviews to examine the feasibility of implementing the modified 4Rs and 2Ss program, as well as factors impacting feasibility. Results indicated that quantitative benchmarks for high feasibility were met in all assessed areas (e.g., family recruitment, caseworker fidelity ratings, CW staff feasibility ratings) except for family attendance, which was markedly lower than desired. Factors facilitating feasibility included agency and research support, intervention ease-of-use, perceived benefits to existing CW practice, as well as logistical support (e.g., food, transportation, childcare) promoting attendance. Factors hindering feasibility included conflicts between research-based eligibility criteria and existing client population demographics, research-related processes resulting in delays, CW staff role conflicts, added workload burden, complex family issues, and power differentials inherent to CW services which complicated families' voluntary participation.

在儿童福利服务中实施儿童心理健康干预:利益相关者对可行性的看法。
这项试点研究综合了定量和定性数据,从参与研究的照顾者(n = 12)和儿童福利工作人员(n = 12;即 6 名个案工作者、4 名主管和 2 名行政人员)的角度,考察了在儿童福利(CW)安置预防服务中实施经修改的多家庭小组行为父母培训干预(强化家庭的 4Rs 和 2Ss 计划 [4Rs 和 2Ss])的可行性。对照顾者和儿童福利机构工作人员进行了定量调查,随后进行了半结构化访谈,以研究实施修改后的 4Rs 和 2Ss 计划的可行性,以及影响可行性的因素。结果表明,除了家庭出席率明显低于预期之外,所有评估领域(如家庭招募、个案工作者忠实度评级、社区福利工作人员可行性评级)都达到了高可行性的量化基准。促进可行性的因素包括机构和研究支持、干预措施的易用性、对现有社区福利实践的认知益处,以及促进出席率的后勤支持(如食物、交通、儿童保育)。阻碍可行性的因素包括:以研究为基础的资格标准与现有服务对象人口统计之间的冲突、与研究相关的程序导致的延误、儿童福利工作人员的角色冲突、增加的工作量负担、复杂的家庭问题,以及使家庭自愿参与复杂化的儿童福利服务固有的权力差异。
