Abstract

ABSTRACT There is a myriad of research that demonstrates the links between experiences of trauma and emotional and behavioural issues in children and adolescents. Evidence is now emerging that highlights that schools are a critical system to deliver support and interventions to address childhood trauma. The ReLATE trauma-informed model uses schoolwide trauma specific interventions to support students who require high levels of adjustment in education. The ReLATE trauma-informed model was evaluated as a 12-month intervention at a specialist school for emotional and behavioural difficulties. The intervention led to beneficial adjustment in various emotional and behavioural outcome domains. Significant reductions were found for parent-reported conduct problems, peer problems and total difficulties. The intervention displayed large effect sizes over the 12-month period. New students to the school demonstrated more positive adjustment. Existing students demonstrated nonsignificant positive adjustment. A reliable change was found for Global Impact, which indicated the benefits that occurred from the intervention generalised into homelife, friendships, learning and leisure activities. While previous literature has focused on teacher-observed adjustments, this study provides a parent perspective of student adjustment. This study also provides clarity around trauma-training and discusses the role that psychologists can play as consultants when implementing trauma-informed practice models in schools.
减少行为和情感上的困难,从一个专业的,创伤知情的学校
大量的研究表明,儿童和青少年的创伤经历与情绪和行为问题之间存在联系。现在出现的证据突出表明,学校是提供支持和干预措施以解决儿童创伤的关键系统。关联创伤信息模型使用全校范围内的创伤特定干预措施来支持需要高水平教育调整的学生。在一所专门学校对情感和行为困难进行了为期12个月的干预,评估了相关创伤知情模型。干预导致各种情绪和行为结果领域的有益调整。家长报告的行为问题、同伴问题和总的困难显著减少。在12个月的时间里,干预显示出很大的效应。新生对学校表现出更积极的适应。在校生表现出不显著的正向适应。在“全球影响”中发现了一个可靠的变化,这表明干预产生的好处普遍存在于家庭生活、友谊、学习和休闲活动中。以往的文献关注的是教师观察的适应,而本研究提供了家长视角的学生适应。这项研究也为创伤训练提供了清晰的思路,并讨论了心理学家在学校实施创伤知情实践模式时可以扮演的顾问角色。
