PurposeBoys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCs) provide numerous avenues for youth to connect, be physically active and have healthy meals/snacks. These services are often provided to low-income families at reduced cost to bridge the gap in after school and summer childcare. However, many of these clubs were forced to dramatically change their services during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to examine how 13 BGCs in Texas, USA, experienced COVID-19 and persevered to provide services.Design/methodology/approachInterviews were conducted with 16 BGC leaders from 13 different BGCs. Open-ended questions were used to elicit leaders’ experiences with the pandemic, services their clubs were able to offer, barriers overcome and supports crucial to their ability to serve their communities. Thematic analysis was used to generate findings from these interviews.FindingsBGC services changed significantly during the pandemic. Normal activities were no longer possible; however, leaders (alongside their communities) continually provided services for their families. Further, leaders reiterated the power of the community coming together in support of their families.Social implicationsWhile BGC leaders had to adapt services, they found ways to reach families and serve their community. These adaptations can have dramatic impacts on the social and physical well-being of children in their communities. Learning from this adversity can improve services as clubs start to build back.Originality/valueThis study provides vital context to the changing care and setting children were exposed to during the pandemic response. Additionally, these results provide understanding of the adaptations that took place in these services.
目的:美国男孩女孩俱乐部(bgc)为年轻人提供了许多联系、锻炼身体和健康饮食/零食的途径。这些服务通常以较低的费用提供给低收入家庭,以弥补放学后和夏季托儿的差距。然而,在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,许多俱乐部被迫大幅改变其服务。本研究旨在考察美国德克萨斯州的13个bgc如何经历COVID-19并坚持提供服务。设计/方法/方法对来自13个不同BGC的16位BGC领导者进行了访谈。使用开放式问题来询问领导人应对大流行病的经验、他们的俱乐部能够提供的服务、克服的障碍以及对他们为社区服务的能力至关重要的支持。专题分析用于从这些访谈中得出结论。在大流行期间,sbgc的服务发生了重大变化。正常的活动不再可能;然而,领导人(与他们的社区一起)继续为他们的家庭提供服务。此外,领导人重申了社区团结起来支持其家庭的力量。社会影响虽然BGC领袖必须调整服务,但他们找到了接触家庭和服务社区的方法。这些适应可以对社区儿童的社会和身体健康产生巨大影响。当扶轮社开始重建时,从这种逆境中学习可以改善服务。独创性/价值本研究为大流行应对期间儿童所面临的不断变化的护理和环境提供了重要背景。此外,这些结果提供了对这些服务中发生的适应的理解。

Revisiting social workers in schools (SWIS) – making the case for safeguarding in context and the potential for reach 重新审视学校中的社会工作者(SWIS)——在背景下提出保护的理由和影响的潜力

PurposeRecently, there have been renewed calls to place social workers in schools. Although these are not unchartered waters, contextual understandings of safeguarding have reaffirmed the centrality of schools in the lives of young people and keeping them safe. Yet, schools can only do so much to support young people. Safeguarding practice reviews continue to highlight the shortcomings of contextless assessment. This paper aims to make the case for a broader approach to safeguarding practice by placing social workers in schools.Design/methodology/approachA scoping review was undertaken to elicit social workers in schools (SWIS) literature from the UK, as well as international examples. Keyword searches revealed a lack of consensus on shared/agreement terminology for SWIS. The literature was organised thematically, as a mechanism to open up the extent, range and nature of research activity in relation to SWIS.FindingsFindings are presented in three themes: misunderstandings of SWIS – what do they actually do?; micro versus macro interventions; and the concept of reach.Research limitations/implicationsThe main implications of this study are to sharpen the focus on the centrality of schools in the lives of children and young people; to expand school-based initiatives as a way to reach young people at risk; to re-centre practice to local, community orientation with an emphasis on early help; and to bring together pockets of good practice and learn from successful partnership models.Originality/valueLittle attempt has been made to contemplate the past and present and rethread school-based initiatives. There is an absence of attention afforded to the theoretical foundations of SWIS. This paper identifies a gap in interest from the early iterations of SWIS, with a recent upsurgence in attention.
目的最近,人们再次呼吁在学校里安置社会工作者。尽管这些都不是未知的领域,但对保护的背景理解重申了学校在年轻人生活中的中心地位,并确保他们的安全。然而,学校在支持年轻人方面只能做这么多。保护做法审查继续强调无背景评估的缺点。本文旨在通过将社会工作者安置在学校来为更广泛的保护实践提供理由。设计/方法/方法进行范围界定审查,以获取英国学校社会工作者(SWIS)文献以及国际实例。关键字搜索显示,对SWIS的共享/协议术语缺乏共识。文献按主题组织,作为一种机制,以开放与SWIS相关的研究活动的范围、范围和性质。调查结果分为三个主题:对SWIS的误解——它们实际上是做什么的?;微观干预与宏观干预;以及可达性的概念。研究局限性/含义本研究的主要含义是进一步关注学校在儿童和年轻人生活中的中心地位;扩大以学校为基础的举措,以此帮助处于危险中的年轻人;将实践重新集中到地方和社区,重点是早期帮助;汇集一些良好做法,并向成功的伙伴关系模式学习。独创性/价值观很少有人试图思考过去和现在,并重新思考基于学校的举措。对SWIS的理论基础缺乏关注。本文从SWIS的早期迭代中发现了一个令人感兴趣的差距,最近引起了人们的关注。

PurposeThis paper aims to argue that contextual safeguarding complements existing theoretical models and approaches. Its successful integration with dominant thinking and practice in safeguarding potentially offers new insights to improve system-wide practice.Design/methodology/approachA theory synthesis design was used to purposively identify, summarise and compare selected safeguarding theoretical models and approaches to establish both convergence and divergence.FindingsThe arguments provided in this paper suggest that synthesising theory offers a confluence of perspectives that promise to develop a more eclectic and holistic approach to safeguarding practice. The paper demonstrates how contextual safeguarding can be integrated with existing theoretical models and approaches.Research limitations/implicationsThis is a conceptual paper and therefore is not based on empirical data.Practical implicationsThis paper's conceptual insights include that integrating contextual safeguarding with existing theoretical models and approaches can broaden the knowledge base to whole system-wide safeguarding practice in the UK. The paper also confirms that the methodology used is feasible, although more work is required to test its efficacy on a larger scale. The conceptual paper argues for synthesis of contextual safeguarding and commonly used child safeguarding theoretical models and approaches to deal with both intra and extra familial forms of risk of harm to children effectively.Social implicationsThe neglect and abuse of children is a topical issue; hence, this paper has social implications regarding understanding of how the issue child abuse and neglect in the UK and globally should be dealt with.Originality/valueThere is a dearth of studies that have gone beyond binary comparisons of contextual safeguarding and other theoretical models and approaches, which leaves a significant knowledge gap that has prompted the purpose of this paper.
目的本文旨在论证语境保护是对现有理论模型和方法的补充。它与保护方面的主导思想和实践的成功结合,可能为改进全系统实践提供新的见解。设计/方法论/方法论综合设计用于有目的地识别、总结和比较选定的保障理论模型和方法,以建立收敛性和发散性。发现本文中提供的论点表明,综合理论提供了多种观点的融合,有望发展出一种更折衷、更全面的保护实践方法。本文展示了语境保护如何与现有的理论模型和方法相结合。研究局限性/含义这是一篇概念性论文,因此不是基于经验数据。实际含义本文的概念见解包括,将情境保障与现有的理论模型和方法相结合,可以将知识库扩展到英国全系统的保障实践。本文还证实,所使用的方法是可行的,尽管还需要更多的工作来更大规模地测试其有效性。概念性文件主张综合情境保护和常用的儿童保护理论模型和方法,以有效处理家庭内外形式的儿童伤害风险。社会影响对儿童的忽视和虐待是一个热门问题;因此,本文对理解英国和全球应如何处理虐待和忽视儿童问题具有社会意义。原创性/价值缺乏超越语境保护与其他理论模型和方法的二元比较的研究,这留下了巨大的知识空白,这促使了本文的目的。

PurposeThis paper aims to explore the outcomes experienced by young people leaving care in Ireland today through the theoretical lens of social capital.Design/methodology/approachThis paper presents selected qualitative data and its analysis that was gathered through a series of in-depth semi-structured interviews with three key informants (care leavers). In gathering interview data, the Biographic-Narrative Interpretive Method (BNIM) was selected, as it allowed the research participants a great deal of autonomy in recounting significant events from their own lives.FindingsIn drawing upon the lived experience of these care leavers, this work will discuss how their in-care and post-care experiences shaped their exposure to and development of sources of social capital, which in turn proved to be a significant factor in shaping their in-care and post-care outcomes.Social implicationsCare leavers remain systemically disadvantaged in comparison to young people who have not been in care. Research has shown that children in care and care leavers are often disadvantaged educationally and experience higher rates of homelessness, unemployment and social isolation. This paper discusses the role of “social capital”, i.e. relationships that provide access to social and material resources and opportunities, in shaping care leavers exposure to and experience of these disadvantages.Originality/valueTo the best of the author’s knowledge, this work is the first in the Irish context to draw on the concept of social capital to explore its role in shaping the in-care and post-care experiences of care leavers in Ireland.
本文旨在通过社会资本的理论视角探讨爱尔兰年轻人离开护理的结果。设计/方法/方法本文介绍了通过对三个关键举报人(护理人员)进行一系列深入的半结构化访谈收集的精选定性数据及其分析。在收集访谈数据时,我们选择了传记叙事解释法(binim),因为它允许研究参与者在叙述自己生活中的重大事件时有很大的自主权。根据这些护理人员的生活经验,本工作将讨论他们的护理和护理后经历如何影响他们对社会资本来源的接触和发展,这反过来又被证明是塑造他们的护理和护理后结果的重要因素。社会影响与没有得到照料的年轻人相比,离开照料者在系统上仍然处于不利地位。研究表明,接受照料的儿童和离开照料的儿童往往在教育上处于不利地位,无家可归、失业和社会孤立的比例更高。本文讨论了“社会资本”的作用,即提供获得社会和物质资源和机会的关系,在塑造护理离开者对这些不利因素的暴露和体验中。原创性/价值据作者所知,这项工作是第一个在爱尔兰的背景下,借鉴社会资本的概念,探讨其在塑造护理和护理后的经验,在爱尔兰护理离开者的作用。

PurposeThis paper aims to explore the experience of one large Irish youth work organisation, Foróige, to measures introduced during the initial phase of COVID-19 in 2020. In the face of the unprecedented crisis including the closure of schools and curtailment of many youth services, this paper examines how the organisation responded and adapted its service offering.Design/methodology/approachQualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 senior managers and youth officers in Foróige to explore their perspectives on the organisation’s response. Participants were purposively sampled from across the operational management functions and also from regional levels and youth workers engaging in work “on the ground”.FindingsShifting from a face-to -face, relationship-based to a distanced mode of engagement with young people, colleagues and volunteers required significant adaptation of Foróige’s service model. Innovation took place both in the delivery platform and fundamentally, in its service orientation. The accelerated move to online youth work brought about by the pandemic enabled the organisation to embrace and learn from the challenges and opportunities posed by digital technology. Responding to the immediate and tangible needs of young people in receipt of services, staff found themselves working with families at the more basic levels of intervention.Originality/valueThis paper provides new insights into the nature of non-profit service innovation during a time of unprecedented crisis management. It highlights characteristics of organisational agility that can assist organisations in managing crises, while also pointing the way towards a more flexible operating model for youth work service delivery.
本文旨在探讨一个大型爱尔兰青年工作组织Foróige在2020年COVID-19初始阶段引入的措施的经验。面对前所未有的危机,包括关闭学校和削减许多青年服务,本文探讨了该组织如何应对和适应其服务提供。设计/方法/方法我们在Foróige网站上与12位高级管理人员和青年官员进行了定性的半结构化访谈,以探讨他们对组织应对措施的看法。有目的地从各业务管理职能部门和区域各级以及从事“实地”工作的青年工作者中抽样调查参与者。从面对面的、基于关系的模式转变为与年轻人、同事和志愿者的远程接触模式,需要对Foróige的服务模式进行重大调整。创新不仅体现在交付平台上,而且从根本上体现在服务导向上。疫情加快了青年在线工作,使本组织能够接受数字技术带来的挑战和机遇,并从中学习。为了应对接受服务的年轻人的直接和实际需要,工作人员发现自己在更基本的干预水平上与家庭合作。原创性/价值在前所未有的危机管理时期,本文对非营利服务创新的本质提供了新的见解。它突出了组织敏捷性的特点,可以帮助组织管理危机,同时也为青年工作服务提供指明了更灵活的运营模式。

PurposeParticipation is the active involvement of children and young people in decision-making regarding issues that affect their lives. It is crucial in the context of child protection and welfare systems and how they respond to the needs of children and young people. The purpose of this paper is to report on the evaluation of child and family participation in an early intervention and prevention programme implemented by the Irish Child and Family Agency. It provides an analysis of a comprehensive, “whole organization” approach to understand how participation is embedded in policy and practice.Design/methodology/approachThis paper reports on a comparative qualitative case study of the perspectives of managers and practitioners about participation practice, identifying the facilitators and barriers, as well as their perspectives of the sustainability of participation within the agency and its partners. The authors draw on two complementary, theoretically informed studies evaluating participatory practice within the Agency using qualitative interviews with participants.FindingsOverall, managers and practitioners had a positive attitude towards participation and identified examples of best practices. Facilitators included training, access to resources and the quality of relationships. Challenges for meaningful participation remain, such as the need to engage, hard to reach populations. Differences were identified regarding how embedded and sustainable participation was.Originality/valueThis paper provides a critical understanding of participation in practice and how to embed a culture of participation in child protection and welfare.
目的参与是指儿童和年轻人积极参与有关影响他们生活的问题的决策。这对于儿童保护和福利制度以及它们如何满足儿童和年轻人的需求至关重要。本文件的目的是报告对爱尔兰儿童和家庭机构实施的早期干预和预防方案中儿童和家庭参与情况的评估。它分析了一种全面的“整个组织”方法,以了解参与是如何融入政策和实践的。设计/方法论/方法本文报告了管理人员和从业者对参与实践的看法的比较定性案例研究,确定了促进者和障碍,以及他们对机构及其合作伙伴内参与可持续性的看法。作者利用了两项补充性的、理论上知情的研究,通过对参与者的定性访谈来评估原子能机构内的参与实践。调查结果总体而言,管理人员和从业人员对参与持积极态度,并确定了最佳做法的例子。调解人包括培训、获得资源和关系质量。有意义的参与仍然面临挑战,例如需要参与难以接触到的人群。与会者指出了参与的内在性和可持续性方面的差异。原创性/价值本文对参与实践以及如何将参与文化融入儿童保护和福利提供了批判性的理解。

PurposeA residential care is home for children who live there and is simultaneously a workplace for employees aiming to safeguard the needs and development of children. Studies have shown that adolescents’ descriptions of life in residential care are connected to feelings of otherness and deviance. The purpose of this study is to explore how adolescents in residential care in Norway relate residential care as a home to their experiences of everyday life in this context and to their relationships with the employees.Design/methodology/approachThis study draws on individual, qualitative interviews with 19 boys and girls (aged 15–18 years) living in residential care homes in Norway. The interviews explored their narratives of everyday life in residential care. The adolescents were encouraged to tell about yesterday and were asked follow-up questions regarding everything that had occurred during encounters with employees. The Norwegian Center for Research Data approved the study.FindingsThe analysis shows tensions in the adolescents’ accounts between the institution as an abnormal context and their own subject position as normal. By drawing upon the terms “stigma” and “recognition” in the analysis, the study shows how recognising relationships between the youth and staff decreases the potential to experience stigma.Originality/valueThis study contributes to existing knowledge on social work in residential care. The paper shows how the institutional framework and employees’ practices impact adolescents’ self-understanding and their experiences of residential care as a home.
目的:养老院是居住在那里的儿童的家,同时也是员工的工作场所,旨在保障儿童的需求和发展。研究表明,青少年对寄宿护理生活的描述与他者和离经叛道的感觉有关。本研究的目的是探讨挪威的青少年如何将住宿护理作为他们在这种背景下的日常生活经历以及他们与员工的关系。设计/方法/方法本研究对挪威居住在养老院的19名男孩和女孩(15-18岁)进行了个人定性访谈。访谈探讨了他们在寄宿护理中的日常生活。这些青少年被鼓励讲述昨天发生的事情,并被问及与员工接触期间发生的所有事情的后续问题。挪威研究数据中心批准了这项研究。分析表明,在青少年的描述中,作为异常情境的机构与作为正常情境的自己的主体地位之间存在紧张关系。通过在分析中使用“耻辱”和“承认”这两个术语,该研究表明,认识到青年和工作人员之间的关系如何减少遭受耻辱的可能性。原创性/价值本研究对现有的安老院社会工作知识有所贡献。本研究显示机构框架和员工的实践如何影响青少年的自我理解和他们作为一个家的住宿照顾的经验。

‘I don’t want my face on the front page of The Sun’: the ‘Baby P effect’ as a barrier to social worker discretion “我不想自己的脸出现在《太阳报》的头版”:“婴儿P效应”阻碍了社工的判断力
IF 1.2 Q2 SOCIAL WORK Pub Date : 2022-01-28 DOI: 10.1108/jcs-03-2021-0013
Ciarán Murphy
PurposeThe backdrop to the Munro Review of Child Protection was a narrative propagated in the British national press, and perpetuated particularly by the then opposition Conservative Party, that the case of “Baby P” evidenced the English child protection system was “failing” and in need of reform. Subsequently, the review asserted that the system had become “over-bureaucratised” and “defensive” at the expense of social worker discretion in the interests of the individual child, highlighting the need for “radical reform”. This paper aims to report on the extent of, and continued barriers to, social worker discretion within the contemporary English child protection.Design/methodology/approachAs an ethnographic case study of a single English child protection team, the study used a sequential and iterative mixed method design, encompassing observation, document analysis, focus groups, questionnaire, interviews and “Critical Realist Grounded Theory”.FindingsThe study found that social worker discretion was continuing to be undermined by the “Baby P effect”; not only in the sense of increasing numbers of children within the system but also by the perpetual fear of being “named”, “blamed” and “shamed”, akin to Peter Connelly’s social workers.Originality/valueThe paper considers how discretion is manifested in contemporary child protection, especially in the context of the “child-centred” system envisaged by the Munro Review. It concludes that the British media and politicians have a continued role to play in reducing the risk associated with the social worker’s discretionary space.
目的《蒙罗儿童保护评论》的背景是英国国家媒体传播的一种说法,尤其是当时的反对党保守党,即“婴儿P”的案件证明了英国的儿童保护制度正在“失败”,需要改革。随后,审查断言,该制度已经“过度官僚化”和“防御性”,牺牲了社会工作者为儿童个人利益的自由裁量权,突出了“彻底改革”的必要性。本文旨在报告当代英国儿童保护中社会工作者自由裁量权的程度和持续的障碍。设计/方法论/方法作为一个英国儿童保护团队的民族志案例研究,该研究采用了顺序和迭代的混合方法设计,包括观察、文件分析、焦点小组、问卷,研究发现,社会工作者的自由裁量权继续受到“婴儿P效应”的破坏;这不仅是因为体制内儿童人数不断增加,而且是因为人们永远害怕被“点名”、“指责”和“羞辱”,类似于彼得·康纳利的社会工作者。独创性/价值本文考虑了自由裁量权在当代儿童保护中的表现,特别是在《蒙罗评论》设想的“以儿童为中心”制度的背景下。它得出的结论是,英国媒体和政客在降低与社会工作者自由支配空间相关的风险方面可以继续发挥作用。

PurposeThis paper aims to report on the findings of a qualitative study that explored the views of 53 service providers assisting Indigenous young people (known in Australia as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth) transitioning from out-of-home care (OOHC) in Australia.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative approach was adopted involving semi-structured interviews and focus groups with 53 representatives of state and territory government departments, non-government organisation service providers and Aboriginal community-controlled organisations (ACCOs) across Australia. The project was designed to gain the perspectives of those working within the system and their views on how it interacts with Indigenous care leavers. Interview questions aimed to ascertain the strengths and weaknesses of the leaving care support systems available to this cohort, as well as the key challenges facing service providers in supporting them. Finally, the study aimed to make recommendations for policy development in this area and identify potential best practice service responses.FindingsThe study found that the OOHC service systems continue to fail Indigenous care leavers, their families and communities. Study findings revealed that Indigenous care-leavers face substantial challenges and that the support systems for those leaving OOHC are often culturally insensitive and ineffective. Many Indigenous OOHC leavers lacked the supports they needed to develop safe and ongoing relationships with their traditional Country, family and communities. To promote more positive transitions and outcomes, effective practice responses were identified, including culturally safe programmes and proportional funding for ACCOs to advance greater self-determination.Originality/valueThis research is the first national study in Australia to examine the specific transition from care pathways and experiences of Indigenous young people. The findings add to the limited existing knowledge on Indigenous care leavers globally and should inform practice and policy innovations with this cohort in Australia and beyond.
本文旨在报告一项定性研究的结果,该研究探讨了53名帮助澳大利亚土著青年(在澳大利亚被称为土著和托雷斯海峡岛民青年)从家庭外护理(OOHC)过渡的服务提供者的观点。设计/方法/方法采用了一种定性方法,包括与澳大利亚各州和地区政府部门、非政府组织服务提供者和土著社区控制组织(ACCOs)的53名代表进行半结构化访谈和焦点小组讨论。该项目旨在了解系统内工作人员的观点,以及他们对系统如何与土著护理人员相互作用的看法。访谈问题旨在确定这一群体可用的离职护理支持系统的优势和劣势,以及服务提供者在支持他们方面面临的主要挑战。最后,本研究旨在为这一领域的政策制定提出建议,并确定潜在的最佳实践服务响应。调查结果研究发现,OOHC服务系统继续辜负土著护理离开者、他们的家庭和社区。研究结果显示,土著照顾者面临重大挑战,对离开OOHC的人的支持系统往往在文化上不敏感和无效。许多土著OOHC离开者缺乏与传统国家、家庭和社区建立安全和持续关系所需的支持。为了促进更积极的转变和结果,确定了有效的实践应对措施,包括文化安全计划和为acos提供比例资金,以促进更大的自决。原创性/价值本研究是澳大利亚第一个考察土著青年从护理途径和经历的具体转变的全国性研究。研究结果增加了对全球土著护理离开者的有限现有知识,并应为澳大利亚和其他地区的这一群体的实践和政策创新提供信息。

Introducing a contextual lens to assessment and intervention for young people who engage in harmful sexual behaviour: an Australian case study 引入情境视角对从事有害性行为的年轻人进行评估和干预:澳大利亚案例研究
IF 1.2 Q2 SOCIAL WORK Pub Date : 2021-11-03 DOI: 10.1108/jcs-06-2021-0024

PurposeIntervention for young people engaging in harmful sexual behaviour has been largely based on individual-level conceptualisations and assessment. Prevention efforts reflect this individual-focus, relying primarily on offender management and justice responses. Risk of sexual abuse, however, is often situated outside the individual, within the broader social and physical systems in which young people are embedded. Lack of recognition for how contextual factors contribute to sexual abuse narrows the focus of prevention and intervention, overlooking the very contexts and circumstances in which this behaviour occurs. This paper aims to demonstrate the utility of contextual practice with young people who sexually harm, and implications for prevention.Design/methodology/approachAn Australian case study is used to showcase the “why”, “what” and “how” of a contextual approach to assessment and treatment of young people who sexually harm.FindingsContextual approaches extend the focus of clinical practice beyond the individual to include the physical and social contexts that may contribute to risk. Adding a contextual lens broadens the approach to assessment, affording new opportunities to tailor the intervention to local contextual dynamics, and identifying new targets for primary and secondary prevention.Originality/valueThis is the first known attempt to extend understanding of contextual approaches to clinical assessment and intervention for young people who sexually harm, using a case study method. The case study showcases contextual assessment and intervention processes that challenge traditional thinking and practice in this field. Importantly, the case study also reveals new opportunities for primary and secondary prevention that emerge through this contextual clinical practice.
目的:对从事有害性行为的年轻人的干预在很大程度上是基于个人层面的概念和评估。预防工作反映了这种以个人为重点,主要依靠罪犯管理和司法反应。然而,性虐待的风险往往位于个人之外,在年轻人所处的更广泛的社会和身体系统中。缺乏对环境因素如何导致性虐待的认识,缩小了预防和干预的重点,忽视了这种行为发生的背景和环境。这篇论文的目的是证明上下文实践的效用与年轻人谁性伤害,并对预防的影响。设计/方法/方法一个澳大利亚的案例研究被用来展示“为什么”,“什么”和“如何”一种情境方法来评估和治疗性伤害的年轻人。情境方法将临床实践的重点扩展到个人之外,包括可能导致风险的物理和社会环境。增加情境视角拓宽了评估方法,为根据当地情境动态调整干预措施提供了新的机会,并确定了一级和二级预防的新目标。原创性/价值这是已知的第一次尝试,通过案例研究方法,将上下文方法扩展到对性伤害年轻人的临床评估和干预。该案例研究展示了挑战该领域传统思维和实践的情境评估和干预过程。重要的是,该案例研究还揭示了通过这种背景临床实践出现的初级和二级预防的新机会。
