Houston, Natasha. "Evaluation of a Family-Centered Parenting Program for Culturally Diverse High-Risk Families." Thesis, NSUWorks, 2008. https://nsuworks.nova.edu/fse_etd/21.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a family-centered parenting program for culturally diverse high-risk families using science-based curricula and evaluation tools. Despite the evidence supporting the effectiveness of parenting education, there are still limitations to the current body of knowledge. Research has been conducted primarily with middle-class European American mothers. Less is known about parenting education with culturally and economically diverse families. In addition, much of the additional research targeted well-functioning families. High-risk families are less likely to participate in parenting programs and research studies. Most programs do not use evidence-based curricula or conduct evaluations using valid reliable measures. Last, most programs work solely with the parent and do not have a family-centered approach. Including children suggests the entire family learns together and has a better opportunity to build family cohesion.
This study utilized a science-based curricula parenting program for at-risk families. The sample population included 31% Caucasian, 2% Hispanic, 66% Native American, and 1% of other races combined. Quantitative data reflected that overall parenting scores increased in both target and control groups based on the scores from pretest to posttest with a t score of 0.459 for the target group and 0.346 for the control group.
Overall, the program was successful, and the applied dissertation effectively met each of the 6 outcomes. Nonprofit organizations should review the findings of this applied dissertation to develop more programs that incorporate science-based curricula to address the parenting needs of those who are high risk.

Full textAbstract:
While many studies focus on the links between multiple risk factors and negative outcomes such as child maltreatment, less is known about the influence of protective factors in the face of risks. The theoretical base of this study was a social ecological model of interactive influences including individual parent, family, and neighborhood level factors to predict outcomes. Protective Factor Index (PFI) and Risk Factor Index (RFI) predictors were developed to explore potential multi-level protective factor buffering effects on key child development and parenting outcomes. Participants were first time mothers enrolled in a randomized controlled study of the Healthy Start/ Healthy Families Oregon (HS/HFO) home visitation program (treatment group) who completed a follow-up phone survey at the child’s 12 month birthday (n = 405). Families were offered HS/HFO services prenatally after meeting risk screening eligibility criteria on the New Baby Questionnaire (NBQ). Program mothers having received at least one home visit (n = 248) were included in the final analyses. Families had an average of 3.1 (SD = 1.2) NBQ risk factors at enrollment and 83% reported having trouble paying for basic needs. Families received an average of 16 home visits in the first 6 months of the program. Thirty-one percent of mothers were aged 19 or younger, 60% were White and Non-Hispanic, 31% were Hispanic, and 9% were another race/ethnicity. Hierarchical regression models with main effects (RFI, PFI, race) and an interaction term (RFI X PFI) were developed to predict eight outcomes. Interaction effects models were not significant. Five RFI main effects were significant: higher RFI scores were associated with greater likelihood of child welfare involvement, greater parenting stress, less favorable scores on child health and well-being, lower parent responsiveness and ii acceptance, and less supportive learning environments. One PFI main effect was significant: higher PFI scores predicted lower parenting stress. A trend level result showed higher PFI scores were associated with less child welfare involvement. Race was significant in two models: White/Non-Hispanic families were more likely to have a home visitor report child welfare involvement and had more frequent parent-child activities compared to other race/ethnicity families. Unpacking the results with separate single risk factor (12 items) and protective factor (10 items) regression models followed. Results showed parent’s prior family history of maltreatment and younger maternal age predicted child welfare involvement (home visitor report), while protection was seen for those with access to housing support. Social support and family functioning protectors were linked to lower parenting stress, while maternal depression showed the opposite finding. Better scores on a child health and well-being measure were seen with higher neighborhood cohesion and greater participation in HS/HFO; in contrast, neighborhood violence and frequent mobility were linked to worse scores. Developmentally supportive home environments were seen for families participating in additional parent support programs, in which the mother had greater knowledge of infant milestones and behavior, and if the family had access to housing supports. Unemployment proved to be associated with less enriched home environments. In summary, there was no support for the cumulative PFI in buffering risk for negative outcomes in this model. The RFI was also a more robust predictor of outcomes compared to the PFI in the main effects models. Overall, study findings provide some evidence for the utility of specific protective factors, as well as cumulative and specific single risk factors, for screening families for effectively targeting services and guiding the conceptual development of program and evaluation formats.

Full textAbstract:
Hard economical situations, unemployment and inadequate governmental social policies provide fertile conditions for alcoholism, violence, drug use and child neglect in families. The minor aged children are the most vulnerable. The number of the socially disadvantaged families and the number of children in these families is constantly rising.
The purpose of this thesis is to elucidate the characteristics of the children in socially disadvantaged families. To this end a questionnaire was prepared and responses from 191 persons solicited. 120 of the persons were school aged children, grades 5-9, coming from socially disadvantaged families. The balance of the respondents was their teachers and 50 family members.
The anonymous survey����s intent was to evaluate how well the children feel in the family and the school, to evaluate the relationship between these children and their parents, to learn how the children feel about their educational activities and finally also to evaluate what the parents and teachers predict will be the children’s responses in these categories.
The survey revealed that children see poverty and alcoholism as the two most important problems in the family. The teachers concurred that poverty and alcoholism were the most important problems. Additionally the children identified that parents not living together is a problem. Children from socially disadvantaged families have weak motivation for education or show an interest in just one kind... [to full text]

Full textAbstract:
Infancy and toddlerhood is an important time for the development of emotion regulation, with interactions between parents and children critical to these processes. Negative parenting behaviors can have a deleterious impact on this development; however, for infants and toddlers in child care, the classroom environment, including teacher-child interactions, provides an important setting for emotional development and may serve as a protective factor when parenting risk at home is high. The aim of the three papers presented in this dissertation was to explore the potential for child care to act as a protective factor for infants and toddlers experiencing different dimensions of parenting risk that threaten emotion regulation development: minimal sensitivity and support, harsh and intrusive behaviors, and physical abuse and neglect. Results confirmed the negative impact of unsupportive, harsh, and intrusive parenting behaviors on emotion regulation, but child care was either insignificant in mitigating these effects or operated as a buffer for certain children only. Additionally, a review of the extant literature suggested that understanding the optimal caregiving experiences in child care that meet the unique regulatory needs of maltreated infants and toddlers is limited. Collectively, implications of these findings include the need to ensure measurement validity when assessing children’s experiences within child care, the importance of considering the interactive nature of child, parent, and child care factors, and the pressing need for more research regarding child care teachers’ roles in facilitating emotional experiences in the classroom that meet the unique regulatory needs infants and toddlers facing risk at home.

Full textAbstract:
In child welfare agencies, the Structured Decision-Making (SDM) Safety and Risk Assessment tools are utilized to support social workers in assessing families and make informed decisions while investigating child abuse and neglect. In the past, numerous studies have evaluated the strengths and weaknesses the SDM safety and risk assessment tools; however, studies have neglected social workers’ perspectives on using the tools during their investigations.
Using a quantitative approach, this study examines social workers’ perceptions on the usefulness of the SDM safety and risk assessment tools during their investigations. IS social work participants from one California county agency completed an online questionnaire using Qualtrics software. The data was analyzed using statistical tests including frequencies, independent samples t-tests, and ANOVA. In order to compare groups of participants’ perceptions of the SDM safety and risk tool, we created a composite score to reflect participants’ overall perceptions of the tool.
The results revealed no statistically significant differences in social workers’ perceptions about the tool based on participants’ work experiences (more or less than 5-years’ experience) or by participants’ job titles (social worker III, IV, and V). Because these findings cannot be generalized to social workers in other counties, future research should survey social workers from various counties in California to obtain more generalizable results.

Darbo tema: Mokinių iš socialinės atskirties rizikos šeimų adaptacijos mokykloje problemos ir sprendimo būdai (Vilkaviškio rajono atvejis).
Problema. Keičiantis socialinėms ekonominėms sąlygoms, tam tikros grupės žmonių jaučiasi socialiai nesaugios, jiems sunku prisitaikyti prie šiuolaikinio gyvenimo tempo, adaptuotis prie socialinių ekonominių ir politinių pokyčių. Dėl to kai kurie žmonės jaučiasi nesą arba iš tikrųjų nėra visuomenės, kurioje gyvena, dalis, todėl socialinės atskirties fenomenas sparčiai plinta Lietuvoje. Pastaruoju metu šalyje dėl prastų materialinio ir socialinio gyvenimo sąlygų smunka dalies šeimų dorovė, prastėja emocinis vaikų saugumas. Mokinių iš socialinės atskirties rizikos šeimų adaptacija mokykloje yra aktuali, nes mokinys, sunkiai adaptuodamasis mokykloje, patiria nesėkmę, dažnai netenka noro mokytis, silpnėja jo mokymosi motyvacija – tai daro neigiamą įtaką jo tolimesniam gyvenimui.
Šio darbo tikslas – paanalizuoti mokinių iš socialinės atskirties rizikos šeimų adaptacijos kaimo ir miesto tipo mokyklose ypatumus.
Darbo hipotezės:
• Pastebimi adaptacijos skirtumai tarp kaimo ir miesto mokyklų. Adaptacija sėkmingiau vyksta kaime. Čia pastebimas atsiskyrimo adaptacijos tipas. Mieste adaptacija ne tokia sėkminga, čia tarp socialinės atskirties rizikos mokinių dažniausiai pastebimas atsiskyrimo ir maišto socialinės adaptacijos tipai.

[toliau žr. visą tekstą]Thesis: The problems and solutions in the adaptation of pupils from the social exclusion risk families at school (Vilkaviškis district case). Problem. While changing socio-economical conditions, certain groups of people feel insecure socially, they feel difficulties to adapt to the pace of modern life, socio-economical and political changes. As a result, some people do not feel themselves, or they really are not, the part of society in which they live; therefore a phenomenon of social exclusion is growing rapidly in Lithuania. Recently in the country, due to poor material and social living conditions, morality of families and emotional safety of children is deteriorating. The adaptation of pupils from the social exclusion of risk families at school is relevant, as students, while hard adaptation, experience failure, often lose interest in learning, weakening in motivation for learning and this has a negative impact on their future life. The aim of this work is to analyze the peculiarities of the adaptation of students from the social exclusion risk families in rural and urban-type schools. Hypothesis: • There are significant differences noticed in adaptation between students in rural and urban schools. Adaptation is more successful in rural areas. There the separation of the adaptation type is noticeable. The adaptation in the urban schools is not so successful, because the separation and insurrection of the adaptation types are noticeable among the students of the social... [to full text]

Full textAbstract:
Tapatumui formuotis itin didelę reikšmę turi ankstyvieji santykiai su reikšmingais žmonėmis. Kadangi nuo mažų dienų vaikas gyvena, daugiausia laiko praleidžia šeimoje, tai reikšmingais žmonėmis tampa tėvai. Tačiau ne visos šeimos rodo savo vaikams teigiamus pavyzdžius, nesistengia jų auklėti, todėl šie vaikai sunkiai socializuojasi visuomenėje ir tuo pačiu sunkiai išgyvena tapatumo krizę. Todėl bakalauro darbe analizuojamas pilnose ir socialinės rizikos šeimose gyvenančių paauglių pasiektas tapatumas pagal keturias būsenas (difuzija, išankstinis sprendimas, moratoriumas bei pasiektas tapatumas) ideologijos (asmenybės) ir tarpasmeninių (socialinio) santykių srityse.Very great importance of identity formation have the early relationship with significant people. Since the early days of the child lives he spend most time in the family, so the parents become significant people. However, not all families show positive examples for their children's, they do not try to educate these children's, so for this children's is hard and difficult to socialize society and experiencing a crisis of identity. So in this bachelor's paper deals with identity reached among the adolescents from regular and from social risk families, reached in four states (diffusion, foreclosure, moratorium and identity achievement) in two areas: ideology (personality) and interpersonal (social) relations areas.

Authors: Carolina Magnusson and Johanna Magnusson Title: The balance between research and practice. A study of family therapist’s knowledge retrieval and the application of evidence-based practice. Supervisor: Jan Petersson Assessor: Peter Hultgren During our research we discovered that a very small amount of research had been conducted about the effect of the social services. It inspired us to fulfill this study. The aim of the study is to describe and analyze what knowledge family therapists in two Swedish municipalities use in family therapy work. We were also interested in which methods they consider having the best effect for social services. Our data collection consisted of qualitative semi-structured interviews conducted with family therapists in two Swedish municipalities. Our primary focus of the study has been the meeting that is taking shape within the family treatment and which components are key elements. Based on the results we have also been able to draw conclusions about how the function of the social services family therapy can be improved and how the work process is characterized by an evidence-based practice. We discovered that family therapist’s knowledge acquisition was extremely haphazard and not on a systematic basis, which the evidence-based model requires.

1. Svarbiausi rizikos šeimų kriterijai yra: nedarnios, asocialios, nepilnos šeimos, kuriuose nesugebama tinkamai spręsti susidariusias problemas, rūpintis vaikais, keisti gyvenimo būdą. Dažniausiai tokiuose šeimose poreikių tenkinimas vyksta socialiai nepriimtinais būdais. Socialinės rizikos šeimų atsiradimo priežastys: nestabili ekonominė padėtis Lietuvoje, skurdas, nedarbas, priklausomybė alkoholiui, narkotinėms medžiagoms, vaikų nepriežiūra, socialinių įgūdžių stoka, auklėjimo ypatumai šeimoje, konfliktai šeimoje, visuomenės informavimo priemonių poveikis, vertybių sistemos ypatumai.

Full textAbstract:
Background: In high-income countries, parenting programmes have been shown to be effective in reducing the risk of child maltreatment. However, there is limited evidence of their effectiveness in low- and middle-income countries. This thesis focuses on the development and pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT) of a parenting programme to reduce the risk of child maltreatment in low-income families with young children in Cape Town, South Africa. Methods: This thesis is comprised of three studies submitted as papers for publication. The first study focused on the development of an evidence-informed, locally relevant parenting programme for families with children aged three to eight years in Cape Town, South Africa. Intervention development took place over three stages: (a) identification of core intervention components common in evidence-based parenting programmes; (b) formative evaluation using qualitative in-depth interviews and semi-structured focus groups with South African practitioners and low-income parents; and (c) integration of evidence-based approaches and local contextual issues to develop the intervention structure, protocols, and manual. The second study used a pilot RCT (N = 68 parent-child dyads) to examine the evaluation feasibility and initial effects of the parenting programme developed during the first study in Cape Town - the Sinovuyo Caring Families Programme. Parents of children aged three to eight years with clinical levels of parent-reported child behaviour problems were randomly allocated to either a 12-session, group-based parenting programme or a wait-list control group. Primary outcomes included parent-report and observational assessments of positive parenting, harsh parenting, and child behaviour problems; secondary outcomes included parent-report of parent depression, parenting stress, and social support. Assessments occurred at baseline and immediate post-test (i.e., 3-months after baseline). The third study was a mixed-methods process evaluation assessing the feasibility of the parenting programme based on three theoretical dimensions: participation, implementation, and acceptability. Quantitative data included attendance registers, fidelity checklists, satisfaction surveys, and parent-report of engagement in home practice activities. Qualitative data included post-programme focus groups with community facilitators (n = 8), individual interviews with a randomly selected group of parents (n = 15), transcripts from parenting sessions, and minutes from supervision sessions with facilitators. Results: In the first study, the formative evaluation suggested that many evidence-based parenting programme components and approaches were compatible with the local cultural context. These included managing child behaviour problems, learning effective discipline strategies, building positive parent-child relationships, and reducing parenting stress. Findings also suggested that programmes may benefit from including additional content on keeping children safe in violent communities, communicating about HIV/AIDS and poverty, involving fathers and alternative caregivers, and incorporating cultural values of social responsibility and respect. The pilot RCT in the second study showed high levels of study recruitment and retention, outcome measurement reliability and response rates, and a minimal effect of clustering due to delivering the intervention in groups of parents. Analyses showed moderate intervention effects for parent-report of increased positive parenting and observations of improved child-led play. However, observational assessments also found reduced frequency of positive child behaviour in the treatment group in comparison to controls. In the third study, quantitative results showed high levels of programme acceptability, implementation, and participation. Thematic analysis of qualitative data identified seven themes related to feasibility: (a) receptivity to strengthening existing parenting practices, (b) initial resistance to new parenting skills, (c) contextualising content within a cultural framework, (d) reinforcing implementation fidelity and improving quality of delivery, (e) challenges delivering content on nonviolent discipline, (f) supporting participant involvement, and (g) engagement in a collaborative learning approach. Conclusion: This thesis is the first in sub-Saharan Africa to use a systematic approach to develop and rigorously pilot a parenting programme to reduce the risk of maltreatment against young children in low-resource settings. Initial results indicate that a parenting programme derived from evidence-based approaches is feasible, culturally acceptable, and has the potential to reduce the risk of child maltreatment by improving positive parenting behaviour. Further intervention development and testing is necessary to strengthen core programme components and determine programme effectiveness.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Child abuse in South Africa is a significant public health concern with severe negative outcomes for children; however, little is known about risk and protective factors for child abuse victimisation. This thesis investigates prevalence rates, perpetrators, and locations as well as predictors of physical, emotional and sexual child abuse victimisation. It also examines the influence of potential mediating and moderating variables on the relationships between risk factors and child abuse. Methods: In the first study, a systematic review of correlates of physical, emotional and sexual child abuse victimisation in Africa was conducted. The review synthesised evidence from 23 quantitative studies and was used to inform the epidemiological study. For study two to four, anonymous self-report questionnaires were completed by children aged 10-17 (n=3515, 57% female) using random door-to-door sampling in rural and urban areas in two provinces in South Africa. Children were followed-up a year later (97% retention rate). Abuse was measured using internationally recognised scales. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, multivariate logistic regressions, and mediator and moderator analyses. Results: The first study, the systematic review, identified high prevalence rates of abuse across all African countries. It identified a number of correlates which were further examined using the study data from South Africa. The second study found lifetime prevalence of abuse to be 54.5% for physical abuse, 35.5% for emotional abuse, 14% for sexual harassment and 9% for contact sexual abuse. Past year prevalence of abuse was found to be 37.9% for physical abuse, 31.6% for emotional abuse, 12% for sexual harassment and 5.9% for contact sexual abuse. A large number of children experienced frequent (monthly or more regular) abuse victimisation with 16% for physical abuse, 22% for emotional abuse, 8.1% for sexual harassment and 2.8% for contact sexual abuse. Incidence for frequent abuse victimisation at follow-up was 12% for physical abuse, 10% for emotional abuse and 3% for contact sexual abuse. Perpetrators of physical and emotional abuse were mostly caregivers; perpetrators of sexual abuse were mostly girlfriends/boyfriends or other peers. The third study found a direct effect of baseline household AIDS-illness on physical and emotional abuse at follow-up. This relationship was mediated by poverty. Poverty and the ill-person’s disability fully mediated the relationship between household other chronic illnesses and physical and emotional abuse, therefore placing children in families with chronic illnesses and high levels of poverty and disability at higher risk of abuse. The fourth study found that contact sexual abuse in girls at follow-up was predicted by baseline school drop-out, physical assault in the community and prior sexual abuse victimisation. Peer social support acted as a protective factor. It also moderated the relationship between baseline physical assault in the community and sexual abuse at follow-up, lowering the risk for sexual abuse victimisation in girls who had been physically assaulted from 2.5/1000 to 1/1000. Conclusion: This thesis shows clear evidence of high levels of physical, emotional and sexual child abuse victimisation in South Africa. It also identified risk and protective factors for child abuse victimisation which can be used to inform evidence-based child abuse prevention interventions.

Regional Family Policy Focused on Families at Risk Veronika Burešová Introduction: Diploma thesis deals with the activities of regional authorities focused on support of families at risk, in context of the process of transformation of the alternative care system for children at risk in the Czech Republic. The goals: The main goal of the thesis is to explore the approach of regional authorities to the issue of families at risk and what forms this approach. Methods: The research was divided into two parts. Firstly the case studies of thirteen regions (except Prague) were elaborated. Based on these studies, 4 regions were chosen, 2 as examples of good practice, other 2 as examples of bad practices. In these four regions, qualitative semi-structured interviews were done. As respondents a councillor and an officer of regional authority office were chosen. 7 interviews were finally made, 2 respondents answered by email. Outcomes: We can find family as a target group in most of regional plans for the development of social services, but it is usually not a priority. The family regional strategy papers were elaborated only in 5 regions, but not all of them are focused also on families at risk. The scale of the support of families at risk in regions depends on political will and political vision of...

"Intensive family preservation services with non-imminent risk families: A descriptive, exploratory study." Tulane University, 2003.
Find full textAbstract:
The Intensive Family Preservation Services Model has conventionally been utilized as a final attempt to prevent child removals, a largely residual approach. The target population for intensive family preservation services has almost exclusively been families in acute crisis, at imminent risk of having children removed due to severe child maltreatment or child behavioral problems Evolving federal policy over the past three decades has broadened the application of family preservation programs to families along the continuum of risk. Federal legislation has progressively encouraged and supported movement towards the provision of more intensive services at earlier stages of family disruption, as a proactive, preventive approach to avoid more serious problems in the future. Over the past several years, a single-site intensive family preservation services program, located in Southeast Louisiana, has experienced a distinct shift in the level of out-of-home placement risk of families referred, from high or imminent risk families, to a preponderance of families at low to moderate risk This exploratory, descriptive study, applied a secondary analysis of data from 82 closed case files to consider the application of the Intensive Family Preservation Services Model to families at low to moderate, non-imminent placement risk, a population for whom this model approach was not originally intended. This study provided vital new information about these families to answer three research questions related to demographic and socio-economic characteristics, changes in family functioning and goal accomplishment, and the types and intensity of services received. Further exploration of these variables was conducted in relation to successful and non-successful outcome families Study findings revealed a high degree of homogeneity in demographic and socio-economic attributes of successful and non-successful outcome groups. Results suggest non-imminent risk families experienced positive outcomes if primary caregivers were cooperative, received necessary concrete resources from program workers, accessed recommended resources and referrals, accomplished case plan goals and objectives, and made significant improvement in the various domains of family functioning under consideration The application of the Intensive Family Preservation Services Model to non-imminent risk families appears fairly promising, as a form of early intervention to help prevent the occurrence of more serious riskacase@tulane.edu

Hoekstra, Kathleen O'Connor. "Cognitive-Behavioral Analysis of Stress and Coping in Parents at Risk of Abusing." Thesis, 1990. https://doi.org/10.7916/D8348JG8.
Full textAbstract:
Critical incidents of parent coping with their provocative children were observed over eight interviews with 27 at-risk parents whose demographic profiles typically matched that associated with the so-called "feminization of poverty". Following the Lazarus stress-appraisal-to-coping paradigm, relationships between child provocativeness and parent cognitive appraisal of the situation were analyzed, and the relationship of each of these respective social and psychological levels of stress to actual coping behavior studied. The role of anger--an emotion often associated with abuse--was also examined in relation to these stress and coping variables. And, finally, the temporal order of these components of the coping process was analyzed.
Adaptiveness of parent cognition and coping behavior varied with the stressfulness of the situation when this was defined as child provocativeness. There were indications that the positive aspects of child provocativeness, parent cognition, and parent coping behavior went together, with child provocativeness being dependent on parent cognition and behavior rather than the other way around. Thus, it was concluded that abuse should be viewed as a transactional encounter which, while immediately triggered by provocative child behavior, is also dependent on preceding parent behavior, and parent cognitions. The implications were for prevention and intervention efforts which foster more adaptive levels of both cognition and behavior in parents.
While all relationships were not statistically significant, support was found for the primacy of cognition in coping: the temporal order which Lazarus posits, i.e., that cognition precedes emotion which precedes actual coping behavior, was supported.
It was recommended that findings be interpreted cautiously, with consideration of the small size and heavily minority makeup of the sample. It was also recommended that additional sources of stress in the parent-child relationship, and related parent cognitions and coping responses be identified in research. The PCE study design and instruments were seen as appropriate models for such expanded study. It was emphasized that in follow up studies involving similar minority samples, increased consideration be given to measurement and interpretation in light of cultural reality.
The correspondence of cognitive perspectives with social work values, goals, and daily work at the interface of person and environment was noted, and recommendations were made for helping students and practitioners make the needed cognitive shift toward integrating such perspectives in practice.

From the perspective of new high-risk family social workers, this study explored how the environment context affected their decision-making, whether they were aware of decision-making blind spots, and what working pressure they had when engaging in the services for high-risk families. In this study, the qualitative research method was adopted, and in-depth interviews were used for data collection. Through the in-depth interviews with eight new high-risk family social workers, the research findings and conclusions were summarized as follows: 1. New social workers were afraid of being unable to well assess the cases and worried about others’ evaluation. 2. Case factors were the prerequisite to decision-making. 3. Organizational factors were the key consideration factors for decision-making. 4. External factors had an indirect influence on decision-making. 5. Decision-makers’ professional self-confidence, seniority and values affected the decision-making and its threshold. 6. All factors interacted with each other and further affected the decision-making, such as: (1) the support of organizational factors could reduce the pressure of external factors; (2) organizational factors could affect decision-makers’ threshold level of decision-making; (3) the interaction among organizational factors, case factors and decision-makers would affect the assessment of the case risk. 7. New social workers could only observe their decision-making blind spots by being reminded by others or keeping records during decision-making. They need to avoid falling into the blind spots of “preconceptions” and “decision myopia. Lastly, based on the research findings, this study has suggested the following recommendations: 1. The aspect of practical work: (1) Organize and compile the cases and provide complete pre-service training and on-the-job training for new social workers. (2) Build a mentoring system. (3) It is recommended that the reviewing materials of the organization can be more diversified. (4) Establish an open supervisory relationship to assist new social workers in making appropriate decisions. (5) The communication between the two systems, child and youth protection and high-risk families, should be enhanced to reduce social workers’ frustration during decision-making and to improve the service performance. (6) Use the statistical information and the sampling test of case records to have a better understanding of the decision-making blind spots in practice. (7) Enhance new social workers’ sensitivity to decision-making blind spots. 2. The aspect of high-risk family policy: (1) It is recommended to modify the case-opening indicators and crisis-classifying indicators for new social workers to have a stronger decision-making basis. (2) Incorporate the implicit psychodynamic data into the estimated case risk to enhance the accuracy of the estimates made by new social workers.

The study aimed to investigate the correlation among perceived travel risk, social support and travel intention of families with disable students and further analyzed the prediction of perceived travel risk and social support of caregivers the disabled students on travel intention. The instruments of the current study included Perceived travel risk questionnaire(four dimensions, 20 items), Social support questionnaire(three dimensions, 13 items) and travel intention questionnaire(one dimension, 4 items),which were developed from this study. Through purposive sampling, a total number of 381 valid questionnaires on caregivers of the disabled students were collected. The main findings of this study were summarized as follows: 1. Family travel around 1-2 times in the past year is founded to be the most. The way of travel is mainly by parents taking their children out. The goal of travel is reported to relax the most, and the second one is to promote the physical and mental health of family members. 2. The highest result of family travel perception risk of students with disabilities is service risk, followed by facility risk, and the lowest is physical risk; the highest result of social support is emotional support, and the second highest one is level of information support, followed by the lowest instrumental support; the overall family travel intention is quite high. 3. Among different caregivers’ background factors, people aged under 40 years old are discovered to be the highest in perceived of physical risk. As for children with multiple, physical or profound intellectual disability or aged under 6 years old, the results of these respondents on perceived of travel risk and every domain of perception are founded to be relatively higher. 4. Caregivers of children studying at high school or aged 17-19 years old are discovered to be relatively higher among social support, instrumental support and information support. 5. Caregivers of children studying at kindergarten or family travel around 3-4 times and more than 5 times per year show significantly higher travel intention while family travel less than 1 time per year shows significantly lower travel intention. 6. Negative correlation is founded among Perceived of travel risk questionnaire, physical risk, mental risk and travel intention. Physical risk shows negative prediction to travel intention, which indicates when the physical risk increases, the travel intention is reduced. 7. Moderately positive correlation is found between every domain and travel intention. Emotional support indicates positive prediction to travel intention, which shows when caregivers perceive higher emotional supports, the travel intention of caregivers would increase.

The purpose of this study is to explore the parentified child in high-risk families through social workers` perceptions, and challenges social workers encountered in providing services. The study includes culture factors, apart from exploring the impact of domestic family and filial piety culture on parentalization, we find that social workers` beliefs can also affect the parentified child they saw. In addition, we explore the feasibility of legislation in parentified child, and discuss the filial piety award with high-risk social workers. The study interviewed nine senior high-risk social workers through face-to-face depth interviews, the results were as follow: I.Social workers' perceptions of the parentified child in high-risk families Social workers observed parentified child by interacting with family members, or learned about the children through school teachers. Social workers think that shortage of family economic, poor caring functions or insufficient caring resources, and poor marital relationship of parents make the reason why the parentified child existed. They also see the impact of parentalization on the family and the children. Additionally, they think that the parentified child has been concerned, parent-child and peer interaction, life planning, emotional expression and so on as talking about demands. II.Services and challenges the high-risk social workers encountered Most respondents refer to they provide family-centered services, however, some will focus on parents, and others on children. On the other hand, the difficulties and challenges social workers met were the time limit of services, resource allocation, the assessing gap of cooperation network, professional skills and reflection ability of social workers, transference and the challenges of the professional boundaries. Finally, we discuss the feasibility of legislation in parentified child, and most of the social workers didn`t think about this issue before the interview, however, if it`s to legislate, it needs to gather consensus to avoid the possible disadvantages, and make sure the benefits and the influences to the children. III.Social workers` beliefs on the parentified child Social workers` beliefs on the parentified child were influenced by their own growth experiences and values. In addition, some social workers see that children accept their own fate, but some feel they can strive to change their own fate, or reduce the child`s burden through services. Social workers also mentioned that the forms of parentified child are quite different from past to present, it needs to understand the family context and the dynamics of family members, and see the family`s strengths. The services should have localization, self-awareness and reflection are also important lessons to social workers. At last, we discuss the filial piety award. Some social workers see the benefits and impacts on the children or the family behind the award, others worry that it will cause pressure and label to the children after over rendering, and still others think it`s a prosocial praise. Lastly, according to the results mentioned above, some suggestions were proposed: I.In policy The study results find it takes a long time to legislate, however, if it will legislate in the future, it can define the parentified child and make the assessment tools, starting from “The Protection of Children and Youths Welfare and Rights Act”, and increase propaganda. II.In practice In practice, it can develop more parentified child service programs, according to children`s needs providing thorough services, and increase communication between different networks to reduce the conflicts. It can also establish complete parentified department, cooperating with communities, enhancing social workers` cultural sensitivities, seeing family`s strengths, enhancing the sensitivities of transference, and deel with the relationship boundaries through professional training. Finally, about the filial piety award, it is recommended to use more specific terms to encourage children`s performances.

This study aimed to discuss the origin and the process of building the professional relationship with the high-risk families in the social workers’ point of view. The research adopted the method of purposive sampling, the subjects investigated were 9 social workers from Taichung City and Changhua County who performed high-risk families program, and picking the semistructured interviews to interview one on one in depth. The ultimate goal was comprehending social workers’ view of the professional relationship, how to build the relationship with high-risk families in the beginning, also the difficulties and strategies of intervention. The research findings found that from the social workers’ perspective, professional relationship is when the client is in trouble and asks for help, social workers have to apply their professional roles, specialized knowledge to the client, in order to solve the problems and avoid putting the life at risk for the purpose of the cooperative relationship. Additionally, the obstacles faced by social workers in building initial professional relationships with high-risk families may be due to the gap between the services expected of high-risk families and social workers, the idea of “Don't wash your dirty linen in public”, lacking of awareness of their own problems, they also worry about the involvement of social workers will make the problem more complicated and the terrible experience of using the service in the past, resulting the high risk families refuse to accept service. To response the situation of service above, social workers will use the internal resources and external resources to rebuild the bridge of relationships with high-risk families. The following three strategies will enable high-risk families to reduce their defense for social workers, so as to promote further development of the relationship between them and the follow-up services: First, social workers adopt a material strategy to provide or link resources that high-risk families need. Second, in the face of the high-risk families that are rejected in a strong and precautionary manner, social workers adopt a moderate and emotional appeals strategy, playing a role of caring and accompanied to interact with the high-risk families. They also actively create opportunities for coincidence encounters. Third, social workers should establish good interaction through trans-disciplinary and systematic consensus-building to facilitate the bridge of relationship with high-risk families. Based on the research conclusion, the researcher presented the recommendations. At the policy level, it is suggested to construct a platform and mechanism for communication between the central government, local governments and the organizations were in charge of the high-risk families program; At the practical level, suggestions include working with the entire family as a service to high-risk families, timely cooperation with trans-disciplinary and cross-system divisions and the establishment of support groups for social workers.

Full textAbstract:
abstract: Child abuse and neglect is a devastating yet preventable social problem. Currently, early childhood home visitation services are the primary approach to preventing maltreatment and improving child well-being in the United States. However, existing literature suggests that improvement is needed regarding how home visitation professionals identify and respond to risk factors for child abuse and neglect. Although there is substantial multidisciplinary literature that investigates the utility of standardized measures to determine future risk for maltreatment, there has been minimal inquiry into the validity of early childhood home visitation assessment instruments to accurately identify and classify children and their families by their risk for future maltreatment. In response to the dearth in the literature, the purpose of this dissertation was to examine the utility of the Healthy Families Parenting Inventory (HFPI) to predict a family’s risk for future maltreatment. Families enrolled in Healthy Families Arizona, a child abuse and neglect prevention program, were followed for 12 months after the completion of the baseline HFPI to measure if the family had received an investigation of maltreatment from the public child welfare system. Bivariate results indicated that the generated risk classifications of the HFPI and the overall total composite score were related to the occurrence of a future maltreatment investigation. Specifically, the results from the binary logistic regression models provided evidence that as a family’s score increased on the inventory, the likelihood of receiving an investigation of maltreatment decreased. Further, significant relationships were found between a family’s score on several individual items of the HFPI and the occurrence of a maltreatment investigation. This dissertation concludes with a discussion of potential avenues of research on the topic of risk assessment in prevention programs serving at-risk families.Dissertation/Thesis

Family resilience is the ability of a family to rebound from adversities, often stronger than before. To
be knowledgeable on the characteristics and processes that render individuals and their families
resilient, contribute to family well-being.
Using a qualitative research approach and an interview guide, the researcher focused on developing a
better understanding of the manifestation of family resilience as part of a family’s ability to adapt to
changing circumstances and life in its dynamic form. Family resilience as an interactive process over
time, normalizes resilience as part of the day to day living of the family and its members, including the
young and the old.
The domains of family resilience are, organizational patterns, adaptability, protective processes
(including family risks, family strengths and protective/buffering factors), communication processes
and family belief systems that, in synergy with one another, render families resilient.
The research results confirmed the presence of characteristics and processes of family resilience
amongst social work client families in South Africa. Depending on the challenges families my face, all
families are either more resilient or less resilient. The latter most often needing additional support, such
as social work intervention.
South African policies should be family-focused and urge for a strengths-based approach towards
enhancing family resilience and ultimately family well-being. Service providers need to give
recognition to the fact that all families have challenges that need to be faced, but that families also have
strengths to be drawn-upon to address and overcome these challenges. This implies that social work
interventions that impact on the lives of families, should be rendered from a family resilience
perspective and strengths-based approach, with the family as focal point for service delivery.Social Science

The present study investigated how social workers employ the operating mode of network cooperation (i.e., interdisciplinary cooperation) to ensure effective intervention when providing services to high-risk families , and analyzed and induced the problems hidden behind the use of interdisciplinary cooperation when providing services to such families. Next, this study reviewed and analyzed social workers’ actual work experiences. The objectives of the present study are as follows: explore social workers’ cooperation situations with network units when providing services to case families during the early, middle, and late intervention stages; examine social workers’ current interdisciplinary cooperation situations and challenges when taking on high-risk projects; and understand social workers’ expectations of and recommendations to the responsible units to solve related issues encountered when servicing high-risk families, and determine solutions to these issues. The present study first reviewed related domestic and foreign literature and later used the semistructured interview method to perform in-depth interviews with 15 social worker participants to understand their actual experiences and feelings. Then, the present study identified the current interdisciplinary cooperation situations and challenges encountered by the participants when providing care counseling intervention projects to high-risk families. The study results revealed that during the early interdisciplinary cooperation stage, professional teams fulfilled their duties and focused on identifying the problems and needs of the case families; during the middle interdisciplinary cooperation stage, the professional teams found resources that satisfied the needs of the case families, coordinated with units from other domains to reach consensuses, modified intervention objectives according to the intervention process, facilitated interdisciplinary cooperation, and ensured clear intervention objectives and mission; during the late interdisciplinary cooperation stage, the professional teams reengaged in interactions with the families to assess the completed projects and divided professional assessment-related labor. Concerning interdisciplinary cooperation-related challenges, they included social workers desiring professional training courses, challenges against performing promotional works, challenges against servicing the case families, challenges against complying with information management ethics, differences in resource availability, high social worker turnover rates, and difficulty reaching consensuses during interdisciplinary coordination. On the basis of the study results, the present study proposed the following recommendations: regarding the aspects of policies and systems, professional training courses should be provided to social workers to improve their professional knowledge and abilities, clear and specific implementation guidelines should be formulated for reporting indicators and mechanisms, network cooperation-related welfare should be improved, and regional differences should be reduced. With respect to the actual practice, the different needs of the case families should be addressed, information management systems should be made public, mechanisms that facilitate consensuses during interdisciplinary negotiations should be established, friendly joint visit models should be created, stable work-related support to workers should be provided, and relevant service models should be designed. These recommendations may serve as references to social workers, related researchers, and relevant units in the future when formulating interdisciplinary cooperation-based service policies for high-risk families.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the dropout intention for students in normal and high risk families in Pingtung County, particularly with the perspectives of their family’s culture and social capital. 1030 junior high students were stratified random selected. The descriptive statistics, independent sample t test, ANOVA, multiple regression analysis, and path analysis were employed to analyze the collected data. The results of this research were as the following: 1. A significant difference was found between students’ distinct family background and their family culture and social capital. 2. A significant difference was found between students’ distinct family background and the attitudes toward personal dropout behavior, dropout subjective norm, cognitive behavioral control, integrated school performance, and dropout intention. 3. Students’ family culture and social capital significantly affect their attitudes toward personal dropout behavior, dropout subjective norm, and cognitive behavioral control. 4. Students’ personal dropout behavior, dropout subjective norm, and cognitive behavioral control significantly affect their attitudes toward personal dropout behavior. 5. Students’ integrated school performance is a mediator for their dropout intention factors and dropout intention.

Procurou-se, com este estudo, conhecer quem são as crianças e jovens sinalizadas, quais as problemáticas de sinalização e o seu perfil tipo. Procuramos também perceber o modus operandi desta CPCJ, tendo como pano de fundo o trabalho da representante do Ministério da Educação. Com isto, foi nosso intuito, repensar e redimensionar estratégias de intervenção. Para encetar este trabalho de investigação, optou-se, metodologicamente, por realizar um enquadramento teórico focado especificamente na exclusão social, nas famílias de risco e nas crianças e jovens em risco. Como método de investigação utilizamos a pesquisa documental e as notas de campo. Os resultados empíricos evidenciaram que a CPCJ de Sobral de Monte Agraço através do trabalho que tem desenvolvido com as entidades com responsabilidade em matéria de infância e juventude, permitiu a criação de uma maior consciência colectiva sobre o fenómeno das crianças em risco e da necessidade de investir no bem-estar destas crianças e jovens e das suas famílias.

With this study we have tried to know who the children and young at risk are, as well as its problems and not only the reasons why they were signalised but also their profile type. We have also sought to understand the modus operandi of CPCJ, having the work of the representative of the Ministry of Education as a background. With this, our aim was to rethink and adjust intervention strategies. To begin this research work, we have decided, at a methodologically level, to perform a theoretical framework specifically focused on social exclusion at-risk families and their children and youth. The investigation methods were the documentary research and field notes. Through its direct work with the entities responsible for children and youth, the empirical results showed that CPCJ of Sobral de Monte Agraço has enabled the creation of a greater collective awareness about the phenomenon of children at risk and also the need to make investments at a welfare level for these children and young people and also their families.

The present thesis is concerned with the Importance of Children's Centres influencing an active involvement of the family in the remediation process, a theme so far unexplored in this respect. The objective of the thesis is to design suitable starting points of an individual care plan of families at risk which contribute to returning the child to his or her biological family in the remediation process by way of social rehabilitation. This is fulfilled with respect to partial objectives that reveal the influence of social and pathological effects, partial characteristics of remediation of the family and services rendered, and on the basis of these findings, the author identifies the ways, methods and techniques of health and social work that are applied by Children's Centres in relation to an active involvement of parents in a social rehabilitation process. In addition, the present thesis determines aspects of the multidisciplinary help that assist in participation in the support provided, or, as the case may be, aspects that prevent such participation. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and methodological. The theoretical part is engaged in the family as such, its functions, risk factors, the most common types of parental disorders in relation to a family at risk, families at risk, the contemporary status of care of children at risk. The thesis delineates in detail the forms of threats to children and the key risk factors influencing parents with respect to participation in solving the problem per se. The last chapter scrutinizes the problem of family remediation, its characteristics and stages. Further, the last chapter focuses on activities of "Dětské centrum Jihočeského kraje, o.p.s." [Children's Centre of the South Bohemian Region, public service company] in Strakonice and the social rehabilitation service the Centre provides - ways, methods and techniques of health and social work with families at risk.

Dissertação de mestrado em Estudos da Criança (área de especialização em Intervenção Psicossocial com Crianças, Jovens e Famílias)O tema desta dissertação tem por objeto de estudo as redes de suporte social de famílias acompanhadas em unidades de apoio à família na região Norte de Portugal. Partindo do interesse em objetivar a natureza e as dimensões do apoio social percecionado pelas famílias, o presente estudo examina as caraterísticas das suas redes de suporte quer surjam em contextos formais ou informais. A ideia base da nossa questão de investigação assenta no pressuposto de que a autoperceção das famílias relativamente à sua rede de apoio social é uma componente importante da compreensão do apoio efetivo e potencial que esta pode assegurar e, por conseguinte, um aspeto de importância crucial para a resiliência das famílias multidesafiadas. A amostra deste estudo reuniu 31 representantes de famílias acompanhadas em cinco entidades de apoio à família do concelho de Barcelos e os instrumentos de recolha de dados utilizados foram o Mapa de Rede (Sluzki, 1996), uma adaptação da versão portuguesa da Escala de Apoio Pessoal e Social (Martín, Rodrigo, Máiquez, Capote, Guimerá & Peña, 2006) e do Perfil de Risco Familiar (Rodríguez, Camacho, Rodrigo, Martín & Máiquez, 2006). Os resultados obtidos apontam para diferenças nas funções atribuídas às redes formais e informais de apoio, embora o grau de satisfação em relação a elas seja muito semelhante. De acordo com os dados analisados, evidencia-se que as famílias procuram mais os elementos das suas redes informais de apoio na busca de companhia social, enquanto os elementos das suas redes formais são solicitados com mais frequência nas situações que impelem as famílias a ir ao encontro de ajuda material e de serviços e de regulação social.
The theme of this dissertation has for object of study the social support networks of families followed in social service family support units in the North of Portugal. Aiming at outlining the nature and dimensions of social support perceived by the families, the present study examines the characteristics of their support networks either in formal or informal contexts. The fundamental idea of our research question is based on the assumption that the families’ self-perceptions regarding their social support networks are an important component towards the understanding of their effective and potential functions, and therefore an aspect of crucial importance to the resilience of multi-challenged families. The sample in this study included 31 family representatives whom were followed in five family support units in the municipality of Barcelos. The instruments used in the data collection were the Network Map (Sluzki, 1996), an adaptation of the Portuguese version of the Personal and Social Support Scale (Martín Rodrigo, Máiquez, Capote, Guimerá & Peña, 2006) and the Profile of Family Risk (Rodriguez, Camacho, Rodrigo, Máiquez & Martin, 2006). The results suggest differences in the functions of the formal and informal support networks, although the degree of satisfaction with them is very similar. According to the analyzed data, it is clear that families request more often elements of their informal support networks in the pursuit of social company, while elements of their formal networks are requested most often in situations that drive the families to seek aid for material and social regulation services.

Children are being removed unnecessarily from their families and placed into substitute care because service programmes lack resources to keep families intact. There are overseas programmes, which provide home services to families, with children at risk of out of home placement. Although there has been an IFPS project there is no established intensive short-term programme in South Africa that deals with families at the brink of dissolution.The objective of the research is to investigate whether an Intensive Family Preservation Programme is feasible in South Africa. The researcher received training in the United States and met with leaders in the field, to discuss the development and implementation of the programme in South Africa. Surveys obtained the attitudes and opinions of the local social workers and commissioners of Child Welfare in Durban towards the programme. The results from opinion surveys indicate that an Intensive Family Preservation Programme is feasible in South Africa.Social Science
