Method Community-based participatory research, the rigorous stepped-wedge trial design, along with multilevel longitudinal modeling through 12-month postintervention (i.e., pretest, posttest, and 6-, 9-, and 12-month follow up) were used to test our working hypotheses that the adapted intervention would prevent and reduce poor emotional regulation; dysfunctional attitudes; and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Results Even when accounting for sex differences, participants reported significant improvements in emotional regulation, dysfunctional attitudes, and anxiety and PTSD symptoms, with marginal improvement in depressive symptomatology (i.e., improvements for women through 12 months improvements for men through posttest). Discussion Given elevated rates of trauma and its connection with emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, and physical health, postintervention, cumulative, and holistic improvements co-occurring across these mental health factors are promising.

Results: Psychological violence was most frequently reported form of abuse, followed by physical and sexual violence. At follow-up, participants in both groups showed significant improvements in mental health and self-esteem. Furthermore, trauma-related symptoms decreased significantly among participants. Overall satisfaction with the interventions was high. Discussion : The findings indicate improved mental health and high satisfaction among women who received support. Results highlight the critical role of social work and shelters addressing complex and long-term support needs.

However, interventions developed for one developmental stage often require adaptation to remain effective and feasible in new contexts. Method: This article describes the systematic, stakeholder-engaged adaptation of self-monitoring and regulation training strategy (SMARTS)—a manualized, school-based self-regulation intervention originally designed for elementary students, translated for middle school implementation. Guided by Goldstein's stepwise translational framework and grounded in participatory action and co-production methodologies, the project involved iterative testing, stakeholder feedback, and integration of digital tools to support fidelity and scalability. Results: The SMARTS middle school version retained theoretically relevant core ingredients while altering developmentally appropriate content, structures, and supports to develop an intervention to meet middle school student, teacher, and context challenges. Discussion: Adaptation guided by empirical frameworks and embedded within a co-production model promotes collaboratively designed programs that are research-supported, sustainable, acceptable, and meaningful to those they serve.","PeriodicalId":47993,"journal":{"name":"Research on Social Work Practice","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148285786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method A quasi-experimental design with 64 adults (aged ≥65 years) from a community institution and a hospital. Participants were allocated to groups based on care setting. Cognitive function was assessed using the AD8 before and after an 8-week online group intervention. Quantitative analyses included paired and nonparametric tests, while qualitative interviews explored participant experiences. Results Hospital-based participants ( n = 27) had higher baseline impairment than community counterparts ( n = 27; final sample N = 54).

However, their effectiveness is often limited by low levels of sustained parental engagement. This systematic review synthesizes evidence on facilitators and barriers to sustained engagement in parenting programs in LMICs. Method This systematic review synthesized evidence from 88 studies identified through searches of PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Peer-reviewed studies were included if they examined parental engagement in structured parenting programs in LMICs. Thematic analysis was used to synthesize findings, organized within a multilevel ecological framework. Results Sustained engagement was facilitated by parents’ perceived benefits, practical and culturally grounded content, flexible delivery modalities, supportive implementation environments, and responsive facilitator practices. Barriers operated across multiple levels, including low motivation, family resistance and limited support, rigid or culturally incongruent designs, gendered caregiving norms, material deprivation, and constrained access to services. Disengagement was driven more by structural inequities than by individual motivation, with mothers bearing disproportionate caregiving burdens and fathers being marginalized by gendered program designs and inflexible scheduling. Conclusion Sustained parental engagement in LMIC parenting programs depends on structural conditions and intervention design. The findings advocate for gender-sensitive engagement strategies that address material constraints and realistic problems, challenge gendered caregiving norms, and integrate parenting programs within broader social protection and public policy systems.","PeriodicalId":47993,"journal":{"name":"Research on Social Work Practice","volume":"329 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148285787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results The introduction synthesizes cross-cutting themes from the articles into an integrative framework linking epistemic justice, co-methodologies, and institutional supports for co-learning and improvements in practices, structures, and policies.

Methods: Using a pretest–posttest control group design between June and August 2024, 28 participants were assigned to intervention ( n = 14) and control ( n = 14) groups at Istanbul open correctional institution. Data were collected via PERMA Well-Being, Hope, and Heartland Forgiveness scales. Results: Quantitative results showed significant increases in well-being ( p = .048, d = 0.68) and hope ( p = .037, d = 0.72) within the experimental group, but not forgiveness ( p > .05). However, compared to the control group, these differences were not statistically significant. Conversely, qualitative analysis revealed perceived benefits across psychological, emotional, relational, and spiritual domains, with suggestions for longer programs.
