摘要

背景：受儿童福利制度（CWS）影响的家庭面临贫困、家庭功能障碍和不良儿童结局的风险增加。强有力的支持网络，包括来自政府项目或服务提供者的正式支持以及来自家庭和朋友的非正式支持，是促进家庭参与和防止儿童虐待的潜在机制。目的：本研究的目的是描述最近进入CWS的被证实遭受虐待的父母的正式和非正式支持，以了解父母的情况和状况。参与者和环境：该研究使用了来自“儿童保护中父母的力量”研究的定量调查和定性访谈数据，这是一项持续18个月的全国性纵向研究，研究对象是进入CWS的有证实的虐待案例的父母（N = 133）。定量样本是78%的母亲和22%的父亲。方法：通过潜在侧面分析和内容分析，描述父母的正式支持系统和非正式支持系统，包括非正式支持网络、公益接收和CWS系统导航。结果：潜在剖面分析揭示了三种特征：“不利的低支持”（n = 40,31 %），“低支持”（n = 59,45 %）和“支持”（n = 32）。即使在“被支持”的父母中，父母的非正式网络也不可靠、有限，正式支持也不稳定、不足。此外，那些非正式支持最少的人（“非常低”）最不具备从CWS系统获得支持的能力。结论：加强受儿童服务影响的父母之间的正式和非正式支持网络，特别是那些非正式支持最少的父母，可以帮助解决家庭的高需求。

“Knock me down a little bit more”: Support networks of parents impacted by the child welfare system, a mixed methods study

Background

Families impacted by the child welfare system (CWS) face increased risks of poverty, family dysfunction, and poor child outcomes. Strong support networks, comprised of formal support from government programs or service providers and informal support from family and friends, are an under-researched potential mechanism to facilitate family engagement and protect against child maltreatment.

Objective

This study's objective was to describe formal and informal supports among parents with substantiated maltreatment who recently entered the CWS to understand parents' situations and conditions.

Participants and setting

The study used quantitative survey and qualitative interview data from The Power of Parents in Child Protection Study, an ongoing 18-month, statewide longitudinal study of parents with substantiated cases of maltreatment entering the CWS (N = 133). The quantitative sample was 78 % mothers and 22 % fathers.

Methods

Through latent profile analysis and content analysis, this study describes parents' formal and informal support systems including informal support networks, public benefit receipt, and CWS system navigation.

Results

Latent profile analyses revealed three profiles characterized as “detrimentally low support” (n = 40, 31 %), “low support” (n = 59, 45 %), and “supported” (n = 32). Even among “supported” parents, parents had unreliable and limited informal networks and unstable, insufficient formal supports. Additionally, those with the least amount of informal support (“detrimentally low”) were the least equipped to navigate support from the CWS system.

Conclusions

Strengthening formal and informal support networks among CWS-impacted parents, particularly those with the least informal support, could help to address families' high levels of need.

期刊介绍： Official Publication of the International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect. Child Abuse & Neglect The International Journal, provides an international, multidisciplinary forum on all aspects of child abuse and neglect, with special emphasis on prevention and treatment; the scope extends further to all those aspects of life which either favor or hinder child development. While contributions will primarily be from the fields of psychology, psychiatry, social work, medicine, nursing, law enforcement, legislature, education, and anthropology, the Journal encourages the concerned lay individual and child-oriented advocate organizations to contribute.
