Method: A controlled quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design was used with 20 male probationers (30–50 years), allocated to an intervention ( n = 10) or control group ( n = 10). The intervention consisted of eight biweekly 90-min group sessions structured around existential themes of freedom, responsibility, meaning, and authenticity. Outcomes were assessed using the Existential Concerns Questionnaire and the Unconditional Self-Acceptance Questionnaire, and data were analyzed with a 2 (group) × 2 (time) mixed-design analysis of variance. Results: The intervention group showed significant reductions in existential anxiety and significant increases in unconditional self-acceptance, with medium-to-large effect sizes, while no significant changes were observed in the control group. Conclusion: Existentially oriented group work appears to support meaning-making and self-acceptance among individuals under probation, offering a theoretically grounded complement to behavior-focused rehabilitation practices.","PeriodicalId":47993,"journal":{"name":"Research on Social Work Practice","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147465085","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}

Given its proven effectiveness across diverse populations, this meta-analysis aims to evaluate its effectiveness for Koreans using studies from 1991 to 2022. Methods A total of 11 studies ( n = 201 children; 224 parents) met the criteria for this meta-analysis. Results A robust pooled effect size (μ = –0.31, 95% CI [–0.44, –0.17], p < .001) for PCIT across all study designs were found. Three-level random-effects meta-regressions further confirmed a significant pooled effect (μ = –0.81, 95% CI [–1.12, –0.50], p < .001), indicating that PCIT effects were consistently significant across studies. Subgroup analyses revealed significant reductions in externalizing behavior, parenting stress, and parent depression.

Methods We adopted a mixed-method approach, conducting interviews with 26 immigrant youth and testing these items in a quantitative study of 215 immigrant youth from Windsor-Essex, Canada. Results The EFA using Principal Axis Factoring yielded five factors, accounting for 50% of the total variance. The internal reliability for the total scale was 0.92. As expected, the newly developed Resilience Scale for Immigrant Youth (RSIY) and all five subscales were significantly and positively related to another measure of resilience, CYRM, ranging from r = .37 to r = .55, p < .00. The RSIY scale differentiated youth based on their emotional and behavioral difficulties level, providing evidence for its convergent validity.

Adolescents (N = 39; mean age ≈ 15 years) were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n = 21) or a control group (n = 18). The intervention group received six weekly 60-min group-based play therapy sessions, while the control group continued standard institutional care. Learned helplessness and social comparison were assessed at baseline and post-intervention using validated scales. Results: Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups ( p s > .05).

Thus lived experience and experiential knowledge are centrally addressed. The author's own overlapping identities are a starting point for this analysis, which highlights the importance of an intersectionalist approach to this development and the need to take account of issues as they affect people both as service users and workers and with dual identities. The contribution is written from and draws on the author's experience from the perspective of a survivor/service user researcher with a long-term background of undertaking collaborative, participatory research, including with practitioners and exploring and seeking to develop coproduced research and praxis—particularly from the position of user-led organizations. It also draws on his experience developing survivor and user-controlled research. Rather than relying on dominant models of disability and distress it also draws on user-led analysis and conceptualizations. As well as placing an emphasis on inclusive involvement, it seeks to put involvement research in broader ideological context, acknowledging relations with conflicting forces of neoliberalism and new social movements (NSMs).","PeriodicalId":47993,"journal":{"name":"Research on Social Work Practice","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147292658","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}

Grounded in a socio-ecological perspective, this study systematically reviews and meta-analyzes the effectiveness of parent–school combined interventions in reducing cyberbullying victimization and perpetration. Method Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, four empirical studies were identified through comprehensive searches of four electronic databases (EBSCO, Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed). Random-effects meta-analyses were conducted using standardized mean differences to synthesize intervention effects. Results The results indicate that parent–school combination interventions are associated with small but statistically significant reductions in both cyberbullying victimization and perpetration, with slightly stronger effects observed for victimization outcomes. Discussion Despite the limited number of eligible studies, the findings provide preliminary yet meaningful evidence supporting the potential benefits of coordinated parent–school approaches. Implications for social work practice emphasize the importance of strengthening home–school collaboration and implementing multicontext intervention strategies.","PeriodicalId":47993,"journal":{"name":"Research on Social Work Practice","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147287483","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}

While most studies have focused on long-term consequences of these encounters, this study examined how verbal aggression influences perceived acute stress and behavioral performance in social workers during these situations. Method: Twenty-seven participants engaged in scenarios with a trained actor portraying service user under either low or high verbal aggression conditions. Psychophysiological responses were measured during and following each scenario. Behavioral performance was evaluated by two experienced raters using a standardized checklist. Results: High verbal aggression elicited significantly higher cognitive and somatic anxiety, greater mental effort, increased heart rate, and reduced self-confidence compared to low aggression. Performance quality, including empathy and active listening, declined under high aggression. Conclusions: Exposure to verbal aggression heightens acute stress and impairs social workers’ performance. Current training may be insufficient to mitigate these effects, as the trained skills degrade under pressure.","PeriodicalId":47993,"journal":{"name":"Research on Social Work Practice","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147274380","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}
