Abstract

Background: Given the impact of growing up in vulnerable families on opportunities in life and the large numbers of families with severe parenting and child functioning problems who repeatedly receive some form of youth care, it is important to investigate the long-term outcomes of the provided care.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether outcomes endure over a longer period of time, by exploring the effects of family-focused youth care on child, parental and family functioning at the end of care and at follow-up moments.

Method: A systematic search was conducted in three databases (Psycinfo, Web of Science and ERIC), using search terms matching youth care and long-term effects. Effects between start and end of care, between end and follow up moments and between start and follow up moments on child, parent and family functioning were systematically mapped out.

Results: Twenty-six articles were included describing effects of family-focused youth care at post treatment and at least one follow-up moment. The results demonstrated positive outcomes in short and longer term as improvement was found in child, parent and family functioning at the end of care and follow-up moments.

Conclusions: Despite the positive outcomes, determining long-term effects of youth care turned out to be difficult, as most studies organize follow-up moments within one year of the end of care. Moreover, there may also be an intertwined effect of the provided and possible follow-up care. More longitudinal research with follow-up moments over multiple years is required to investigate the durability of outcomes.

以家庭为中心的青少年护理的持久结果：对儿童、父母和家庭在护理和随访后功能的系统回顾。

背景：考虑到在脆弱家庭中成长对生活机会的影响，以及大量有严重父母和儿童功能问题的家庭反复接受某种形式的青少年护理，调查所提供护理的长期结果是很重要的。目的：本研究旨在探讨以家庭为中心的青少年护理在护理结束时和随访时对儿童、父母和家庭功能的影响，以调查结果是否持续更长时间。方法：在Psycinfo、Web of Science和ERIC三个数据库中进行系统检索，检索词与青少年关爱和长期影响相匹配。开始和结束护理之间，结束和随访时刻之间以及开始和随访时刻之间对儿童，父母和家庭功能的影响被系统地绘制出来。结果：纳入了26篇文章，描述了以家庭为中心的青少年护理在治疗后和至少一个随访时刻的效果。结果显示了短期和长期的积极结果，因为在护理结束和随访时刻，儿童、父母和家庭功能都得到了改善。结论：尽管有积极的结果，但确定青少年护理的长期效果是困难的，因为大多数研究在护理结束后的一年内组织随访时刻。此外，提供的护理和可能的后续护理也可能产生相互交织的影响。需要更多的纵向研究，随访数年，以调查结果的持久性。

期刊介绍： Child & Youth Care Forum is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary publication that welcomes submissions – original empirical research papers and theoretical reviews as well as invited commentaries – on children, youth, and families. Contributions to Child & Youth Care Forum are submitted by researchers, practitioners, and clinicians across the interrelated disciplines of child psychology, early childhood, education, medical anthropology, pediatrics, pediatric psychology, psychiatry, public policy, school/educational psychology, social work, and sociology as well as government agencies and corporate and nonprofit organizations that seek to advance current knowledge and practice. Child & Youth Care Forum publishes scientifically rigorous, empirical papers and theoretical reviews that have implications for child and adolescent mental health, psychosocial development, assessment, interventions, and services broadly defined. For example, papers may address issues of child and adolescent typical and/or atypical development through effective youth care assessment and intervention practices. In addition, papers may address strategies for helping youth overcome difficulties (e.g., mental health problems) or overcome adversity (e.g., traumatic stress, community violence) as well as all children actualize their potential (e.g., positive psychology goals). Assessment papers that advance knowledge as well as methodological papers with implications for child and youth research and care are also encouraged.
