Abstract

Abstract As a result of maltreatment, children in care can present with a range of complex needs and challenges. In addition to direct clinical care commonly provided by paediatricians, psychiatrists, and clinical psychologists, the provision of knowledge and skills to foster and kinship carers have become modes of support common in responding to these needs and challenges. A narrative review of key systematic reviews and empirical research was conducted to assess the effectiveness of existing foster carer interventions. Results indicated a range of methodological characteristics that limit our ability to develop a sound, research-driven, evidence base. As a result, we remain limited in our knowledge about which treatments are effective, for which symptoms they are effective, and for which population subgroups they are most likely to be effective. This review provides a summary of identified needs and challenges in the delivery of foster carer interventions. It provides an account of current treatment components and offers a platform for the development and progression of a programme of research in an effort to advance knowledge in the area.

寄养和亲属照料中儿童需求的叙述性回顾:告知研究议程

摘要由于虐待，被照顾的儿童可能会面临一系列复杂的需求和挑战。除了儿科医生、精神病学家和临床心理学家通常提供的直接临床护理外，向寄养和亲属护理人员提供知识和技能已成为应对这些需求和挑战的常见支持模式。对关键的系统审查和实证研究进行了叙述性审查，以评估现有寄养照顾者干预措施的有效性。结果表明，一系列方法学特征限制了我们建立健全、研究驱动的证据基础的能力。因此，我们对哪些治疗有效、对哪些症状有效以及对哪些人群亚组最有可能有效的了解仍然有限。本综述概述了在提供寄养照顾者干预措施方面确定的需求和挑战。它介绍了目前的治疗组成部分，并为制定和推进研究方案提供了一个平台，以努力提高该领域的知识。
