Abstract

The Treatment Programme for Families with Children in Andalusia is fundamentally aimed at promoting the integral development of children and adolescents through the strengthening of parental competences and family preservation strategies. In the last 20 years, this programme has been applied to over 75 000 families, involving about 150 000 children and adolescents. The aim of this study was to analyse the effects of this family intervention programme on the quality of life and behaviour problems of the children. This quasi-experimental and longitudinal study had two non-randomized groups (intervention group and comparison group) and two evaluation measures (pre-treatment and post-treatment). The intervention group was constituted by 297 families (540 children) who had participated in the programme. The comparison group consisted of 95 families (138 children) at a similar risk level, although these families had not participated in the programme. The results showed a significant improvement in the quality of life of the children of the families that belonged to the intervention group, which was significantly greater than the evolution detected in the children of the families that belonged to the comparison group. The results of efficacy and efficiency of this type of practice constitute a quality criterion of evidence-based programmes and a requirement to maintain public investment.

对安达卢西亚有子女家庭治疗计划的评估：对儿童影响的分析

安达卢西亚有子女家庭治疗方案的根本目的是通过加强父母的能力和家庭保护战略，促进儿童和青少年的全面发展。在过去的 20 年中，该方案已应用于 75 000 多个家庭，涉及约 150 000 名儿童和青少年。本研究旨在分析该家庭干预计划对儿童生活质量和行为问题的影响。这项准实验性纵向研究有两个非随机分组（干预组和对比组）和两种评估方法（治疗前和治疗后）。干预组由参加该计划的 297 个家庭（540 名儿童）组成。对比组由 95 个家庭（138 名儿童）组成，虽然这些家庭没有参加过该计划，但其风险水平与干预组类似。结果显示，干预组家庭儿童的生活质量有了明显改善，明显高于对比组家庭儿童的生活质量。这种做法的效果和效率构成了循证方案的质量标准，也是维持公共投资的要求。
