Millions of adolescents spend time in the online environment, yet little is known about the effects of psychological resilience, self-efficacy, and metacognition on the risk of cyberbullying. A total of 574 high school students were recruited and instructed on the Sociodemographic Questionnaire, Cyberbullying Scale (CBS), Child and Youth Psychological Resilience Scale (CYPRS), Self-Efficacy Questionnaire for Children (SEQ-C), and Metacognitions Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (MCQ-C). A negative correlation was found between education level, the CYPRS, the SEQ-C and the CBS. All subtests of the MCQ-C was positively correlated with the CBS. Regression analysis revealed that CYPRS and the negative meta-worry subtest of the MCQ-C predict the CBS. Our study revealed the importance of psychological resilience and negative meta-worry in cyberbullying among adolescents. Strengthening psychological resilience may be a useful strategy for reducing the detrimental impacts of cyberbullying on adolescents. Metacognitive psychotherapy models that focus on negative meta-worry and improving psychological resilience by psychotherapeutic methods may be a useful strategy for reducing the detrimental impacts of cyberbullying on adolescents. Further longitudinal studies are required to foster the established association between these constructs.</p>","PeriodicalId":51512,"journal":{"name":"Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal","volume":"1 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71435429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Secondary data collaboratively recorded by the clinician in 100 charts representing cases of young children at the time of assessment and treatment planning was extracted from a partnering agency’s electronic medical record. The data was first analyzed qualitatively to identify themes describing facilitators and barriers as collaboratively documented in the sample charts, followed by quantitative analysis of the frequency of the themes as well as to determine any significant relationships among themes and the identified race group or presenting problems in cases. Results include the child’s own natural strengths, inclusion of the family and the child’s larger support system, and a strong therapeutic alliance as key facilitators. Significant barriers identified are challenges associated with externalized behaviors, trauma exposure, family stress, and readiness to change. Implications of this study emphasize the need for social work interventions, service delivery models, and reimbursement models that accommodate both the individual child and the role of family and systemic supports as part of core interventions, as well as ensuring attention to trauma and readiness for change as part of assessment.</p>","PeriodicalId":51512,"journal":{"name":"Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal","volume":"13 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50167036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specific focus is placed on the character of the children’s concerns, the content of the SSW’s helping strategies, and challenges related to the alliance between the SSW and the children as experienced by the SSW. The study was based on data from a survey protocol of 20 SSW’s daily practice regarding their experiences in counselling children and adolescents. The data consisted of 193 protocols from the same number of unique individual sessions. Data were analysed through quantitative descriptive statistics. The data also contained a large proportion of open-ended textual answers, which were analysed through a qualitative summative content analysis. The counselling strategies were primarily divided into three parts, namely coaching, processing, and assessing. The most common practice elements used included elements of empowerment, alliance and relationship, and hope and trust. In counselling children, SSWs identified a broad range of problems in children’s overall lives. Many children suffered from their home situations, which also impinged upon the SSWs, who were affected by the children’s life narrative. Our results can help inform SSW policy and practices as SSWs assist vulnerable children through individual counselling that corresponds to their help-seeking behaviour and by offering a space for alliances and relationships.</p>","PeriodicalId":51512,"journal":{"name":"Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal","volume":"13 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50167039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While there is literature on the relationship between both connectedness and the perceived neighborhood environment (PNE) on mental health among Black youth, few studies focus on these aspects among Black youth in the juvenile justice system – particularly among those adjudicated guilty as serious offenders. <b>Purpose</b>: The current study addresses the relationship between connectedness and PNE on Black youth adjudicated guilty as serious offenders in the juvenile justice system using a subset of data from a sample of 180 Black youth aged 14–18 from the Pathways to Desistance Project. <b>Results</b>: Black boys reported statistically significant lower mental health symptoms than Black girls (β= − 0.21, p < .01). Gender, age, and parent social position explained a statistically significant proportion of variance in mental health symptoms (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.07, F(3, 151) = 3.31, p < .05). <b>Discussion</b>: PNE and connectedness did not contribute to a statistically significant change in the proportion of variance predicting MH symptoms of Black youth in the JJ system above and beyond demographic variables.
