Abstract

Caregiving for children in foster, kinship, and adoptive placements (hereon referred to as resource parenting) is a challenging role that requires unique knowledge and skills, but there is limited evidence for currently available trainings. The National Training and Development Curriculum for Foster and Adoptive Parents (NTDC) was recently developed with support from the US Children's Bureau. Baseline and 6-month follow-up surveys from 540 resource parents receiving NTDC training and 409 receiving training-as-usual (propensity score matched; group assignment based on location) were compared on a variety of knowledge types and skills. NTDC parents had larger growth in trauma-informed parenting, potential to promote positive child development, and key resource parent knowledge from baseline to post-training. NTDC parent growth in receptivity to working with biological parents approached but did not reach statistical significance. NTDC offers promise as a new training resource for improving resource parent knowledge and skills.

评估寄养/领养父母培训课程对资源父母知识和技能的提高作用

照顾寄养、亲属收养和领养儿童（以下简称资源养育）是一个具有挑战性的角色，需要独特的知识和技能，但目前可用培训的证据有限。在美国儿童局的支持下，寄养和收养父母国家培训与发展课程（NTDC）于近期开发完成。对接受 NTDC 培训的 540 名资源父母和接受常规培训的 409 名资源父母（倾向得分匹配；根据地点进行分组）进行了基线和 6 个月的跟踪调查，并就各种知识类型和技能进行了比较。从基线到培训后，NTDC 家长在创伤知情养育、促进儿童积极发展的潜力以及资源家长关键知识方面的增长幅度更大。在与亲生父母合作的接受能力方面，NTDC 家长的增长接近统计学意义，但未达到统计学意义。作为一种新的培训资源，NTDC 有望提高资源父母的知识和技能。

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
