Abstract

Child Welfare (CW) provides an array of services to meet the needs of families, requiring agencies to be malleable in their ability to absorb new practices. Absorptive capacity (ACAP) refers to the routines and processes in which an organization acquires, assimilates, and applies new knowledge. ACAP has yet to be the focus of implementation research in CW settings. This exploratory study elicited feedback from CW staff in determining factors to consider when absorbing a new practice. Themes of logistic support, agency culture, and feedback from families emerged. Findings offer insights for CW agencies to consider when adopting a new practice.

儿童福利的吸收能力:一项针对儿童福利工作人员的定性研究，揭示了循证实践采用的关键因素。

儿童福利(CW)提供一系列服务，以满足家庭的需求，要求机构在吸收新做法的能力上具有可塑性。吸收能力(ACAP)是指组织获取、吸收和应用新知识的惯例和过程。ACAP尚未成为CW环境下实施研究的重点。这项探索性研究从CW员工那里获得了在吸收新实践时要考虑的决定因素的反馈。后勤支持、机构文化和家庭反馈的主题出现了。研究结果为化学武器机构在采用新做法时提供了参考。

期刊介绍： Decisions made in the practice of child welfare have lifelong effects on children and their entire families which in turn affects every facet of society. To effectively practice in this vital field, social workers, psychologists, counselors, juvenile court judges, attorneys, and other child welfare professionals need to stay informed about the latest findings and important issues in public child welfare. To answer this crucial need, the Journal of Public Child Welfare provides a broad forum for theory-based and applied research in child welfare. Rather than limit itself to primarily private agencies, this essential journal provides the quality research and comprehensive information that child welfare professionals and public agencies need most.
