Abstract

ABSTRACT Families’ positive health service-related views and experiences are associated with improvements in physical and psychological well-being. Research has elucidated key differences in the experiences of caregivers and their children. More work is needed to better understand how families experience enrollment in systems of care (SOCs), given their unique service delivery approach. We compared the service-related views and experiences of 77 youth (Mage = 13.5 years, SD = 2.09, Range = 8 to 18) with severe emotional challenges and their caregivers enrolled in a school-based SOC. Youth and their caregivers reported positive views of service characteristics and related youth outcomes. However, caregivers reported significantly higher levels of perceived cultural sensitivity of services, general satisfaction with services, and active participation in services. Qualitative findings indicated that youth primarily reported improvements in their own psychological and behavioral functioning as the most helpful aspect of services, whereas caregivers tended to emphasize specific youth and family services that they received, such as counseling and psychiatric treatment. We discuss limitations and implications for future research.

比较以学校为基础的照料系统中青少年和照料者的经验

家庭对健康服务的积极看法和体验与身心健康的改善有关。研究已经阐明了照顾者和他们的孩子在经历上的关键差异。鉴于其独特的服务提供方式，需要做更多的工作来更好地了解家庭如何在护理系统(soc)注册。我们比较了77名患有严重情绪挑战的青少年(年龄= 13.5岁，SD = 2.09，范围= 8至18)和他们的照顾者参加了以学校为基础的SOC，他们对服务相关的看法和经历。青年和他们的照顾者报告了对服务特点和相关青年结果的积极看法。然而，照护者对服务的文化敏感度、对服务的总体满意度和对服务的积极参与程度都有显著提高。定性研究结果表明，青少年主要报告了他们自己的心理和行为功能的改善，这是服务中最有帮助的方面，而照顾者倾向于强调他们得到的具体的青年和家庭服务，如咨询和精神治疗。我们讨论了局限性和对未来研究的启示。
