This paper examines the academic research discourse on strengths-based practice in child welfare. A gap in the literature exists concerning systematic research studies addressing strengths-based practices with families in the child welfare system. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to examine how a strengths-based approach facilitates working relationships between child welfare services and families. A systematic review was performed following the principles of the PRISMA statement and included 11 peer-reviewed articles, published in English, in academic journals from multiple scientific databases, reporting primary research. Strengths-based skills were found to be essential to fostering a stronger rapport with families and to building relationships with them. Furthermore, strengths-based approaches facilitate personal engagement, which can increase the sense of empowerment and encourage families to find solutions and to make decisions about their own lives. One of the study’s findings suggests that in the process of empowering families, workers themselves learned to empower themselves. Workers shifting towards strengths-based thinking enhanced their sense of self-empowerment, which increased their knowledge and skills to help empower families. The findings of this review indicate that the strengths-based perspective reported from the studies facilitates positive interaction between workers and families, including collaboration and the building of relationships.

本文考察了基于优势的儿童福利实践的学术研究。在有关儿童福利系统中与家人进行基于优势的实践的系统研究方面，文献方面存在空白。因此，本文的目的是研究基于优势的方法如何促进儿童福利服务与家庭之间的工作关系。遵循PRISMA声明的原则进行了系统的审查，其中包括11篇以英语发表的同行评审文章，这些文章在来自多个科学数据库的学术期刊中以英语发表，报告了主要研究成果。人们发现，基于优势的技能对于与家人建立更牢固的关系以及与他们建立关系至关重要。此外，基于优势的方法有助于个人参与，这可以增强人们的权能意识，并鼓励家庭寻找解决方案并为自己的生活做出决定。该研究的发现之一表明，在赋予家庭权力的过程中，工人自己学会了赋予自己权力。转向基于优势的思维的工人增强了自我授权的意识，从而增强了知识和技能，以帮助增强家庭权能。此次审查的结果表明，研究报告中基于优势的观点促进了工人与家庭之间的积极互动，包括合作和建立关系。工人自己学会了增强自己的能力。转向基于优势的思维的工人增强了自我授权的意识，从而增强了知识和技能，以帮助增强家庭权能。此次审查的结果表明，研究报告中基于优势的观点促进了工人与家庭之间的积极互动，包括合作和建立关系。工人自己学会了增强自己的能力。转向基于优势的思维的工人增强了自我授权的意识，从而增强了知识和技能，以帮助增强家庭权能。此次审查的结果表明，研究报告中基于优势的观点促进了工人与家庭之间的积极互动，包括合作和建立关系。
