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.

从理论到实践:儿童福利体系中少数民族家庭育儿干预的文化适应落地

虐待儿童是美国的一个重大公共卫生问题。在 2017 年联邦财政年度,全国约有 750 万儿童被转介至儿童福利服务机构 (CSW)。接受 CWS 治疗的儿童普遍存在发育、情绪、行为和认知问题。对于寄养儿童来说,临时或永久安置常常会给孩子本已混乱的生活带来额外的不稳定,增加他们遭受有害身心健康结果的风险。现有的研究有限,记录了旨在为参与 CWS 的低收入少数民族家庭提供有效的文化适应家长培训 (PT) 干预措施的影响。本研究的目的是双重的:阐明参与者如何看待参与 CWS 的不同家庭的文化适应 PT 干预,并更好地了解干预者如何适应家庭的需求。在这项研究中,我们对 14 名完成适应性干预的家长以及所有提供干预的干预人员进行了深入访谈。使用主题分析方法来分析和解释数据。家长们表示,干预措施对提高他们的育儿技能以及应对因 CWS 带走孩子而带来的挑战的能力产生了积极影响。干预主义者描述了他们实施的逐步调整,以努力增加其文化和背景相关性。研究结果与家庭治疗领域相关,因为它们增加了对 CWS 背景下针对少数民族家庭的文化适应性 PT 干预措施的理解。
