Purpose: This pilot study examined the preliminary effectiveness of the Empowered Young Parents Program (EYPP) for child welfare and/or legal system involved pregnant, expectant, or parenting youth (PPY) in promoting health outcomes. Method: A one-group pretest–posttest ( N = 25) design was used to evaluate changes in the participants. Results: At posttest participants reported lower perceived stress, depressive symptoms, and experiences of intimate partner violence. They also reported a higher likelihood of having someone to talk to about reproductive healthcare. Discussion: The study suggests the EYPP may be an effective prevention service for supporting the needs of PPY and further rigorous trials are needed.

PurposeThe purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of a spirituality-focused group intervention on the alienation levels of young women and search out exposure to a spirituality-focused group intervention reduces alienation more than no treatment.MethodsAn 8-week spirituality-focused group work was conducted and selected via a randomized controlled sampling method.ResultsFor the sense of alienation, a significant main effect of time ( F = 23.03, p < .01, partial η2 = .56, 95% CI [0.20, 0.72]), a significant effect for groups ( F = 8.82, p < .01, partial η2 = .33, 95% CI [0.03, 0.57]) were observed. The interaction effect between the sense of alienation over time and the group was also found ( F = 8.82, p = .27, partial η2 = .07, 95% CI [0.30, 0.78]).ConclusionSpirituality-focused group work stands as a pivotal component in mitigating the feeling of alienation experienced by young women of university age.

Background: Psychological flourishing has significant attention within positive psychology, emphasizing the need for reliable tools across diverse cultural contexts. Purpose: This study examines the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the Flourishing Scale (FS) among Algerian and Moroccan populations. Methods: A total of 758 university students from Algeria and Morocco, representing various academic disciplines, participated. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was employed to evaluate the scale's structure and measurement invariance. Results: The CFA demonstrated good fit indices (χ² = 114.578, CFI = 0.93, RMSEA = 0.08). Reliability estimates were satisfactory (Cronbach's α = 0.79). Measurement invariance confirmed the scale's cross-cultural reliability and validity, supporting its consistency across Algerian and Moroccan samples. Discussion: The Arabic version of the FS is a reliable, valid, and culturally adaptable tool for assessing psychological flourishing. It offers valuable insights for research and applications in positive psychology within Arab contexts, ensuring relevance for diverse groups.

PurposeThis study examines the comparative efficacy of three AI large language models (LLMs)—ChatGPT-4, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot—in clinical social work.MethodBy presenting scenarios of varying complexities, the study assessed their performance using the Ateşman Readability Index and a Likert-type accuracy scale.ResultsResults showed that Gemini had the highest accuracy, while Microsoft Copilot excelled in readability. Significant differences were found in accuracy scores ( p = .003), although readability differences were not statistically significant ( p = .054). No correlation was found between case complexity and either accuracy or readability.DiscussionDespite the differences, none of the models fully met all accuracy standards, indicating areas for further improvement. The findings suggest that while LLMs offer promise in social work, they require refinement to better meet the field's needs.
目的 本研究探讨了三种人工智能大型语言模型（LLMs）--ChatGPT-4、Gemini 和 Microsoft Copilot 在临床社会工作中的功效比较。方法 本研究通过呈现不同复杂程度的情景，使用阿特斯曼可读性指数和李克特式准确性量表评估了它们的性能。结果 研究结果表明，Gemini 的准确性最高，而 Microsoft Copilot 的可读性更出色。虽然可读性差异没有统计学意义（p = .054），但准确性得分存在显著差异（p = .003）。讨论尽管存在差异，但没有一个模型完全符合所有准确性标准，这表明还有待进一步改进。研究结果表明，尽管 LLM 在社会工作领域大有可为，但仍需对其进行改进，以更好地满足该领域的需求。
