We draw on a series of focus groups and interviews with a group of nine disabled people with mobility or sensory impairments, many of whom were politically active in the arena of disability rights and independent living. This work forms part of a wider project re-imagining care practices and policies. We reveal the interplay of emotion, affect and socio-material conditions in disabled people's pandemic lives and reflect on how pre-existing diminished care landscapes compounded COVID-19's impacts. With support services shuttered and people confined at home, many disabled people experienced a renewed dependence on family care or found their care needs reduced to functional tasks undertaken by rota-filling workers. We document participants' emotional experiences of loss, fear and anger deriving from changes in their one-to-one care interactions and arrangements but also wider societal narratives positioning disabled people as both vulnerable to, and carriers of, disease. Drawing together the crisis' affective and material effects, we demonstrate how disabled people politicized their affective experiences of anger and hope through online organizing to challenge the diminution of supports and demand affective justice from the care system.</p>","PeriodicalId":10025,"journal":{"name":"Child & Family Social Work","volume":"29 4","pages":"864-873"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cfs.13099","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136136354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thirty-five parents who were involved in family leadership groups and 42 parents of a control group completed an online survey. The survey included the Family Leadership Activity Measure, the Sense of Community Index, the Emergency Families Centre Services Index, the Sense of Sharing Index, the Brief Family Distress Scale and the Beach Center Family Quality of Life Scale. Significant differences were found among groups with regard to barriers to services usage, family centre services usage, family's satisfaction with services, sense of community with the family centre and sense of sharing. Parents who were involved in family leadership groups demonstrated favourable outcomes. No significant differences were found between the groups in family quality of life and distress.

We have 1599 parent respondents recruited from listed samples and Craigslist advertisements. Surveys were administered via the telephone or online.

Recruitment strategy was not related to leaving a child home alone and corporal punishment. However, we did find that parents recruited by Craigslist use physical abuse more frequently.

A lack of systematized information on the different delivery modes has also been detected. This study addresses these issues by systematically analysing existing reviews and meta-analyses, examining the reported outcomes and, when available, results related to delivery conditions and adherence variables. The analysis results suggest a reduction in children's problem behaviours and a consensus on the necessity of reporting on the parental stress variable.

With a view understanding experience, data were collected via focus groups with carers and agency workers (<i>n</i> = 20) involved in piloting, implementation and evaluation. Deductive analysis applied the theory of experience to generate understanding of experience, as both intrinsic and extrinsic dimensions to capture strengths in the Mockingbird Family's foster caring networks. These dimensions of experience included collective passions of carers and workers; experiential change over time; collective experiences as a moving force; and experiences as transformational. Understanding of experience associated with the perceived strengths of the Mockingbird Family, including strategies to promote strong professional relationships between carers and workers, is an important element in strengthening environments of children and young people in care.

This intervention contained six stages and a 1 month follow-up test with 39 vulnerable children (mean age = 8.74, standard deviation = 1.76) randomly assigned to the intervention group (19 participants) and control group (20 participants). The event anxiety and self-esteem in vulnerable children were assessed by using the Children's Revised Impact of Event Scale, the Spence Children's Anxiety Scale-Short, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. There was no significant difference between the intervention and control groups in the baseline levels of self-esteem, event impact, and anxiety. After three intervention phases, the intervention group had a significant increase in self-esteem and a significant decrease in event anxiety.
