Although the importance of caregiver engagement in a child's psychological treatment is well established within outpatient treatment settings, the question remains whether these findings can be generalized to more intensive treatment settings where caregiver engagement may be more challenging to facilitate. A correlational, multi-informant design was used to collect data by caregiver self-report and therapist-report from a sample of 64 caregivers of youth referred for partial hospitalization. Results show that caregivers' attitudinal self-assessment of engagement was not significantly related to their self-report of behavioral engagement (e.g. number of family sessions attended) or therapists' report of caregiver engagement. After controlling for caregiver expectations and therapist ratings of caregiver engagement, only caregiver ratings of attendance at family sessions marginally predicted treatment outcomes, but in the negative direction. Implications for adapting measures of caregiver engagement to intensive treatment settings and its impact on treatment outcomes are discussed.

照顾者参与青少年部分住院治疗

尽管在门诊治疗环境中，看护者参与儿童心理治疗的重要性已得到充分证实，但问题仍然是这些发现是否可以推广到更密集的治疗环境，在这些环境中，看护者的参与可能更具挑战性。相关的多信息设计用于通过护理人员自我报告和治疗师报告从 64 名被转诊至部分住院的青年护理人员样本中收集数据。结果表明，看护者对参与的态度自我评估与他们对行为参与的自我报告（例如参加的家庭会议的数量）或治疗师对看护者参与的报告没有显着相关性。在控制了看护者期望和治疗师对看护者参与度的评级后，只有照顾者对家庭会议出席率的评分略微预测了治疗结果，但在负面方向上。讨论了将照顾者参与措施调整到强化治疗环境的影响及其对治疗结果的影响。
