International migration and global aging have resulted in growing instances of transnational family caregiving, which involves providing care for older adults across national borders. However, little is known about the realities of such caregiving.Method: Following the scoping review framework set forth by Arksey & O'Malley (2005), we searched 10 electronic databases (e.g. AgeLine, MEDLINE, CINAHL) using targeted search terms (e.g. transnational*, cross-border*) and predefined eligibility criteria. After removing duplicates, screening the titles and abstracts, and reviewing full texts, nine articles were eligible for inclusion.Findings: Studies showed that transnational caregiving involves providing financial and emotional support, arranging care, mailing gifts and letters, making care decisions, and communicating via phone/video calls. Financial strain comes from expenses in the host and support countries, including traveling back to the home country. Transnational caregivers experience guilt, worry, and distress related to the unpredictability of the care situation and their inability to be physically present. Strict immigration policies, inadequate employer support, and limited institutional care in home countries also present challenges.Implications: This review highlights the nature and challenges experienced by transnational caregivers, yet further research is needed to deepen our understanding of this unique subpopulation of caregivers.","PeriodicalId":73742,"journal":{"name":"Journal of evidence-based social work (2019)","volume":" ","pages":"273-291"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143048978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Korean immigrant families encounter distress in navigating the American culture, but cultural stigma impedes discussion within the family. An evidence-based mental health awareness program called Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) exists to serve as gatekeeper training for lay adults to identify and support youth experiencing mental health challenges. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a culturally adapted Korean-YMHFA (K-YMHFA) program among Korean immigrants in the Southern U.S.Materials and method: Using a mixed methods approach, a quantitative survey was distributed before and after program completion (N = 24), and a follow-up interview following program completion was also completed (N = 12). Quantitative analysis conducted a paired sample t-test, qualitative analysis conducted directed content analysis, and mixed methods analysis developed joint displays.Results: Participant's mental health literacy, confidence and control in YMHFA skills, and positive attitude toward YMHFA skills significantly increased, and stigma decreased after the training. Participants also provided information on specific steps for increasing cultural relevancy and sustainability within the community. Overall, mixed methods analysis indicated that the program was feasible in the context of Korean immigrants in the Southern U.S.Conclusion: Despite the growing Korean community, the Southern U.S. has limited Korean ethnic services. With the feasibility of K-YMHFA, advocacy in promoting K-YMHFA is needed to counteract the limited resources while serving as an early intervention for youth and families in distress.","PeriodicalId":73742,"journal":{"name":"Journal of evidence-based social work (2019)","volume":" ","pages":"292-314"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143025902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This outcome evaluation assesses changes in caregiver self-assessment results after receiving the NTDC classroom-based training.Materials and methods: Resource parents from six U.S. states completed the self-assessment at baseline before the NTDC classroom-based training and 90 days after completing the training. Regression analyses were conducted for 20 training competencies and 14 parenting characteristics, controlling for demographic and caregiver characteristics and using propensity-score weights to account for potential bias from attrition between completion of the self-assessment at baseline and follow-up. The number of participant responses in the analytic sample varied across the training competencies and parenting characteristics, with an average of n = 321 responses per construct.Results: All training competencies and parenting characteristics observed statistically significant improvements in participant scores from baseline to follow-up, with average training competency scores improving by 11% and parenting characteristic scores by 5%.Discussion: These results suggest that the NTDC classroom-based curriculum may help caregivers to develop knowledge and skills in content areas related to effective parenting.Conclusion: The NTDC self-assessment seems to function as intended for participants to understand areas of strength and potential growth in a variety of training competencies and parenting characteristics associated with effective parenting.","PeriodicalId":73742,"journal":{"name":"Journal of evidence-based social work (2019)","volume":" ","pages":"252-272"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143048976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the reach of AI continues to grow, there is a need to examine student perspectives on the increasing prevalence of AI and AI-based practice approaches in social work.Materials and methods: In this qualitative study, we conducted structured interviews with 15 students in bachelors and masters social work programs. We developed an interview guide with a list of questions to ask students and no prior knowledge of AI was required by the students. The study was framed based on an interpretive phenomenological analysis approach.Results: Through thematic analysis, five key themes were developed, including 1) Risks associated with AI, 2) Ethical Concerns in AI and Technology Use, 3) Bias and Fairness in AI, 4) Applications and Possibilities of AI in Social Work, and 5) Training and Awareness of AI in Social Work.Discussion: Social workers can help disadvantaged clients by ensuring access to the various AI technologies and facilitating social welfare interventions created using these technologies. There is a need to address the gap in the existing literature about the use of AI in social work practice and education.

Analyses, including confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling (SEM) path analysis, were conducted using SPSS 24 and AMOS 24 software.Results: The findings indicate that perceived family social support positively influences psychological resilience and life satisfaction while reducing trait anxiety. Psychological resilience lowers trait anxiety; however, its direct effect on life satisfaction is insignificant. Trait anxiety, on the other hand, negatively affects life satisfaction and acts as a mediator between perceived family social support and life satisfaction. Additionally, psychological resilience plays an indirect role in the effect of perceived family social support on life satisfaction through trait anxiety.Discussion: The results suggest that perceived family support enhances resilience and reduces anxiety among youth, contributing to greater life satisfaction. These findings underscore the complex interplay between these variables and highlight the mediating roles of psychological resilience and trait anxiety.Conclusion: This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating that perceived family support enhances life satisfaction by strengthening psychological resilience and reducing trait anxiety.

However, few studies simultaneously analyze the multiple factors influencing racial disparities regarding these outcomes. Our study addresses this gap by analyzing the impact of discrimination, stress, self-esteem, racial identity, depressive symptoms, and demographic factors on anxiety symptoms.Methods: Participants were adults recruited from a primary care clinic in the Southeastern region of the United States. We utilized a stratified random sampling strategy to select 383 participants. Participants completed a survey designed to assess levels of anxiety, depression, perceived stress, self-esteem, racial identity, experiences with discrimination, and demographic information. A hierarchical regression analyzed which factors most impact symptoms of anxiety.Results: Of the 363 participants in our study, the majority were female (71.3%), 57% were White identifying, 43% were Black identifying, and the average age was 54.4 (SD = 12.3). Model 4 accounted for 58% of the variance of anxiety symptoms and included a combination of depressive symptoms, perceived stress, self-esteem, experiences of everyday discrimination, and interaction terms. Within this model, perceived stress (t = 3.81, p < .01), experiences of everyday discrimination, (t = 2.33, p < .01), and income (t = -1.96, p < .01) were significantly associated with increased anxiety.Conclusions and implications: Multiple contextual factors influence the relationship between race and anxiety. In particular, anxiety increases with lower rates of self-esteem and income. Conversely, anxiety increases with higher rates of stress, discrimination, and depressive symptoms. Social workers should consider each of these factors when treating patients presenting with symptoms of anxiety.","PeriodicalId":73742,"journal":{"name":"Journal of evidence-based social work (2019)","volume":" ","pages":"20-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142634153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They were able to recognize and build on their already existing strengths and achieve incremental steps toward EBPs.Discussion: The collaborative nature of the structure and knowledge dissemination, requiring extremely tailored implementation strategies while considering the essential components in relation to local conditions, led to increased readiness to implement these practices as locally relevant.Conclusion: Research practice collaborations may contribute to the implementation of EBPs in rural areas by increasing the accessibility and relevance of these methods in these challenging conditions.
