From Theory to Practice: On the Ground Cultural Adaption of a Parenting Intervention for Ethnic Minority Families Involved in the Child Welfare System.

Abstract:

:Child maltreatment is a major public health issue in the United States. In the federal fiscal year 2017, approximately 7.5 million children were referred to child welfare services (CSW) in the nation. Developmental, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive problems are prevalent among children referred to CWS. For those in foster care, temporary or permanent placement frequently introduces additional instability into a child's already chaotic life, increasing their risk for deleterious physical and mental health outcomes. Limited research exists documenting the impact of efficacious culturally adapted parent training (PT) interventions aimed at serving low-income ethnic minority families involved in CWS. The objective of this study was twofold: to explicate how a culturally adapted PT intervention for diverse families involved in CWS was perceived by participants and to better understand how interventionists adapted to families' needs. In this study, we conducted in-depth interviews with 14 parents who had completed the adapted intervention, as well as all of the interventionists providing the intervention. A thematic analysis approach was used to analyze and interpret the data. Parents indicated the positive impact that the intervention had on enhancing their parenting skills, as well as their ability to cope with the challenges associated with having a child removed by CWS. Interventionists described the gradual adaptations they implemented, in an effort to increase its cultural and contextual relevance. Research findings are relevant to the family therapy field as they increase understanding about culturally adapted PT interventions for ethnic minority families within CWS contexts. :El maltrato infantil es un gran problema de salud pública en los Estados Unidos. En el año fiscal federal 2017, se derivó a aproximadamente 7.5 millones de niños a servicios de bienestar infantil en el país. Entre los niños derivados a los servicios de bienestar infantil predominan los problemas emocionales, conductuales y del desarrollo. En los niños que están en acogida, su ubicación temporaria o permanente con frecuencia suma inestabilidad a la vida ya caótica de un niño, lo cual incrementa su riesgo de sufrir consecuencias perjudiciales en su salud mental y física. Existen escasas investigaciones que documentan los efectos de intervenciones eficaces con capacitaciones para padres culturalmente adaptadas y orientadas a asistir a familias de minorías étnicas de bajos recursos implicadas en servicios de bienestar infantil. El objetivo de este estudio fue doble: explicar cómo los participantes de una intervención con una capacitación de padres culturalmente adaptada para familias diversas implicadas en los servicios de bienestar infantil percibieron esta intervención y comprender mejor cómo los intervencionistas se adaptaron a las necesidades de las familias. En este estudio realizamos entrevistas detalladas con 14 padres que habían realizado la intervención adaptada, así como con todos los intervencionistas que llevaron a cabo la intervención. Se utilizó un método de análisis temático para analizar e interpretar los datos. Los padres indicaron el efecto positivo que tuvo la intervención en la mejora de sus habilidades de crianza, así como en su capacidad de afrontar las dificultades que surgen cuando los servicios de bienestar infantil les sacan un hijo. Los intervencionistas describieron las adaptaciones graduales que implementaron con el objetivo de aumentar su relevancia cultural y contextual. Los resultados de la investigación son relevantes para el área de la terapia familiar, ya que amplían el conocimiento sobre las intervenciones con capacitaciones para padres culturalmente adaptadas y orientadas a familias de minorías étnicas dentro del contexto de los servicios de bienestar infantil. :虐待儿童是美国的一个主要公共健康问题。在2017年联邦财政年度,大约750万儿童被介绍给儿童福利服务机构(CSW)。发育、情感、行为和认知问题在CWS儿童中普遍存在。对于那些被寄养的孩子来说,临时或永久的安置常常会给孩子本来就混乱的生活带来额外的不稳定性,增加他们产生有害身心健康后果的风险。有限的研究记录了有效的文化适应家长培训(PT)干预措施的影响,这些干预措施旨在为参与CWS的低收入少数民族家庭提供服务。本研究的目的有两方面:一是解释在文化上适应于不同家庭介入的PT干预是如何被参与者感知的,二是更好地了解干预者是如何适应家庭需求的。在本研究中,我们对14名完成适应性干预的家长和所有提供干预的干预人员进行了深入访谈。主题分析方法被用来分析和解释数据。家长们表示,这项干预措施对提高他们的养育孩子的技能,以及他们应对因儿童被遗弃而面临的挑战的能力产生了积极影响。支持干预教育的研究者描述了他们为了增加文化和背景关联性而逐步实施的调整。研究结果与家庭治疗领域相关,因为它们增进了对少数民族家庭在CWS背景下适应文化的PT干预的理解。.
