Multiple obstacles exist to introducing evidence-based methods in social work practice. The study directly interacts with social work practice and maps the interventions practice prioritizes when supporting children or parents. Specifically, the study examines service users' and practitioners' assessment of the feasibility of systematically evaluated interventions in the everyday life of foster care families. To integrate the different perspectives, we use a three-step process comprising a systematic review of interventions for children in foster care, a literature review of challenges faced by the children to assist with choosing the most relevant interventions and a discussion of findings with service users and practitioners. The systematic review identified 51 interventions. The literature review revealed three common challenges: collaboration with the birth family, behavioural issues and social problem solving. We reduced the 51 interventions to 13 for discussions in workshops and interviews with service users and practitioners and ended up with two feasible interventions: incredible years and collaboration meetings. The first has been evaluated in several randomized studies, whereas the second has been evaluated qualitatively. Our analysis points to a profession where systematic and evidence-based knowledge is subordinated to a pragmatism that prioritizes budgeting and prior knowledge of interventions.

根据服务使用者和从业者对寄养儿童的可行干预措施

在社会工作实践中引入循证方法存在多重障碍。该研究直接与社会工作实践互动，并绘制了在支持儿童或父母时优先考虑的干预实践。具体而言，该研究检查了服务使用者和从业者对系统评估对寄养家庭日常生活的干预措施的可行性的评估。为了整合不同的观点，我们使用了一个三步流程，包括对寄养儿童干预措施的系统审查、对儿童面临挑战的文献审查以帮助选择最相关的干预措施以及与服务使用者讨论结果和实践者。系统评价确定了 51 项干预措施。文献综述揭示了三个常见的挑战：与出生家庭、行为问题和解决社会问题的合作。我们将 51 项干预措施减少到 13 项，以便在研讨会上进行讨论以及与服务用户和从业人员进行访谈，最终得出了两项可行的干预措施：令人难以置信的岁月和协作会议。第一个已经在几项随机研究中进行了评估，而第二个已经进行了定性评估。我们的分析指出，一个专业的系统和循证知识服从于优先考虑预算编制和干预措施先验知识的实用主义。令人难以置信的岁月和合作会议。第一个已经在几项随机研究中进行了评估，而第二个已经进行了定性评估。我们的分析指出，一个专业的系统和循证知识服从于优先考虑预算编制和干预措施先验知识的实用主义。令人难以置信的岁月和合作会议。第一个已经在几项随机研究中进行了评估，而第二个已经进行了定性评估。我们的分析指出，一个专业的系统和循证知识服从于优先考虑预算编制和干预措施先验知识的实用主义。
