Objectives

Guided by developmental autonomy and gender socialization frameworks, this study examines how age and gender are associated with parental and adolescent technoference and adolescent behavioral outcomes, tests their predictive contribution to technoference controlling for covariates, and assesses their moderating role in the associations between technoference and behavioral outcomes, offering a theoretically grounded perspective on demographic influences on adolescent adjustment.

Methods/Analysis

Data were collected from 450 adolescents (232 girls, 218 boys; aged 11–17 years) across private and public schools. Technoference was assessed with the Technoference Scale, and behavioral outcomes with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Analyses involved correlations, hierarchical regressions (controlling for socioeconomic status and device use), and PROCESS moderation tests for age and gender.

Findings

Age was positively associated with adolescent technoference, while gender exhibited no significant direct effect. Neither age nor gender predicted parental or adolescent technoference after adjusting for covariates. Gender moderated the impact of parental technoference on adolescent technoference and adolescent behavioral outcomes (internalizing, externalizing, prosocial). Age moderated the parental technoference → prosocial behavior link, and gender moderated the associations between adolescent technoference and internalizing and externalizing behaviors.

Novelty

Understanding technoference is challenging due to the differential roles of age and gender in adolescents’ behavioral outcomes. This study offers a novel integrated framework that demonstrates how gender moderates’ associations between parental and adolescent technoference and behavioral outcomes, while age uniquely moderates the parental technoference → prosocial behavior association. Findings advance Developmental Autonomy theory by underscoring age-linked prosocial vulnerability and extend Gender Socialization theory by demonstrating gendered behavioral patterns, providing insights that can inform theory and culturally sensitive interventions.
目的:在发展自主和性别社会化框架的指导下,本研究探讨了年龄和性别与父母和青少年技术干预和青少年行为结果的关系,测试了它们对协变量技术干预控制的预测贡献,并评估了它们在技术干预和行为结果之间的关联中的调节作用,为人口统计学对青少年适应的影响提供了一个理论基础视角。方法/分析从私立和公立学校的450名青少年(232名女孩,218名男孩,11-17岁)中收集数据。技术干预采用技术干预量表,行为结果采用优势与困难问卷。分析包括相关性、层次回归(控制社会经济地位和设备使用)以及年龄和性别的过程调节测试。结果表明,sage与青少年科技行为呈正相关,而性别无显著的直接影响。调整协变量后,年龄和性别都不能预测父母或青少年的技术倾向。性别调节了父母技术干预对青少年技术干预和青少年行为结果(内化、外化、亲社会)的影响。年龄调节父母技术干预→亲社会行为的关系,性别调节青少年技术干预与内化和外化行为的关系。由于年龄和性别在青少年行为结果中的不同作用,理解技术影响具有挑战性。本研究提供了一个新的整合框架,说明性别如何调节父母和青少年技术干预与行为结果之间的关联,而年龄如何独特地调节父母技术干预→亲社会行为的关联。研究结果通过强调与年龄相关的亲社会脆弱性,推进了发展自主理论,并通过展示性别行为模式,扩展了性别社会化理论,为理论和文化敏感干预提供了见解。

Background

Previous studies revealed the detrimental effect of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on later health. However, the limited studies explored the relationship between ACEs during adolescence and subsequent problematic Internet use (PIU), with a focus on possible mediating and moderating roles of loneliness and education attainment. Built upon General Strain Theory, we hypothesized ACEs as strains directly related to deviant coping, namely PIU, and indirectly through negative emotion, namely loneliness. In addition, this relationship may be varied by conditioning effect, namely different educational attainment.

Method

Data were obtained from the Taiwan Youth Project, a 17-year longitudinal study (2000–2017), which followed two cohorts of adolescents (7th and 9th graders) from Northern Taiwan annually (N = 1964). ACEs were measured using ten items during early adolescence, which included essential facets such as abuse and neglect. PIU was assessed using a 5-item version of the Chen Internet Addiction Scale during young adulthood. Adult’s loneliness was assessed using the 6-item de Jong-Gierveld short scale. A generalized structural equation model was employed under Stata 16.

Results

The results showed that young adults who had experienced ACEs were more likely to suffer from PIU (AOR = 1.14, p < 0.05), and they were more likely to report emotional loneliness, which, in turn, increased the risk of PIU (AOR = 1.19, p < 0.05). Education stratification indicated that significant associations were only found for those who graduated from a private college.

Conclusion

These results suggest that exploring the association between ACE and PIU needed to be emotionally sensitive and context-appropriate.
背景以往的研究揭示了不良童年经历(ace)对日后健康的不利影响。然而,有限的研究探讨了青春期不良经历与随后的问题性互联网使用(PIU)之间的关系,重点关注孤独和受教育程度可能的中介和调节作用。在一般应变理论的基础上,我们假设ace是直接与异常应对相关的应变,即PIU,间接与负面情绪相关,即孤独。此外,这种关系可能会因条件作用而变化,即不同的受教育程度。方法数据来自台湾青少年项目,这是一项为期17年的纵向研究(2000-2017),该研究每年跟踪两组来自台湾北部的青少年(N = 1964)。研究人员用青春期早期的10个项目来衡量ace,其中包括虐待和忽视等重要方面。PIU的评估采用5项版本的陈氏网络成瘾量表。成人孤独感采用6项de Jong-Gierveld短量表进行评估。采用Stata 16下的广义结构方程模型。结果结果显示,经历过ace的青年成人发生PIU的可能性更大(AOR = 1.14,p <; 0.05),并且更容易报告情绪孤独,这反过来增加了PIU的风险(AOR = 1.19,p <; 0.05)。教育层次表明,只有毕业于私立大学的人才有显著的关联。结论:探究ACE与PIU之间的关系需要情绪敏感和情境适宜。

Internal attribution of poverty and social isolation among the Korean youth: the mediating effect of relative deprivation 韩国青年贫困和社会孤立的内在归因:相对剥夺的中介作用
IF 1.7 2区 社会学 Q1 FAMILY STUDIES Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-24 DOI: 10.1016/j.childyouth.2026.108787

This study investigated the relationship between young adults’ perception of poverty and social isolation, with a particular focus on the mediating role of relative deprivation. Drawing on survey data from 521 individuals aged 19 to 39 in South Korea, this study employed cross-sectional regression analysis using PROCESS Macro Model 4 and bootstrapping methods to test the significance of mediation effects. The findings indicate that subjective perceptions of poverty, defined as attributing poverty to personal failings such as lack of effort or misfortune, do not directly influence social isolation. However, these perceptions were indirectly associated with isolation through their relationship with relative deprivation, which was in turn positively associated with social isolation. These results suggest that youth isolation should not be addressed solely through individual efforts or motivation. Instead, policies and psychosocial interventions should target the cognitive and emotional mechanisms underlying poverty perceptions and relative deprivation. By highlighting the cross-sectional associations among multidimensional inequality perceptions, social comparison, and social isolation, this study underscores the need for youth welfare policies that incorporate the perceptual and structural dimensions of poverty.
本研究调查了年轻人对贫穷的看法与社会孤立之间的关系,特别侧重于相对剥夺的中介作用。本研究利用韩国521名19 ~ 39岁个体的调查数据,采用PROCESS Macro Model 4和bootstrapping方法进行横断面回归分析,检验中介效应的显著性。调查结果表明,对贫穷的主观看法(定义为将贫穷归因于缺乏努力或不幸等个人缺点)并不直接影响社会孤立。然而,这些观念通过与相对剥夺的关系与孤立间接相关,而相对剥夺又与社会孤立呈正相关。这些结果表明,青年孤立不应仅仅通过个人努力或动机来解决。相反,政策和社会心理干预应针对贫困观念和相对剥夺背后的认知和情感机制。通过强调多维不平等观念、社会比较和社会孤立之间的横断面关联,本研究强调需要制定纳入贫困的感知和结构层面的青年福利政策。

Protective factors in unaccompanied foreign minors: a qualitative study from a neuroeducational professional perspective 无人陪伴外籍未成年人的保护因素:来自神经教育专业视角的定性研究
IF 1.7 2区 社会学 Q1 FAMILY STUDIES Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-04 DOI: 10.1016/j.childyouth.2026.108748

The increase in Unaccompanied Foreign Minors (UFMs) across Mediterranean countries has heightened the need to understand the emotional, cognitive, and developmental challenges associated with their migratory trajectories. These challenges—linked to trauma, affective deprivation, stimulation deficits, and inconsistent care systems—shape their adjustment and learning processes in the host country. This study aims to identify the main consequences of these experiences and the protective factors that best support UFMs’ development. An interpretative qualitative design was employed through a collective case study based on in-depth interviews with fourteen professionals from diverse roles and institutional contexts in Spain and Italy. Data were analysed using an inductive–deductive coding strategy in MAXQDA, supported by expert validation, member checking, triangulation, and a multi-layered reliability protocol. The findings highlight the central role of stable, supportive relationships and affective co-regulation in promoting recovery and facilitating adaptation. Other protective elements include early cognitive and linguistic stimulation, culturally sensitive practices, restorative institutional environments, and structured accompaniment during the transition to adulthood. In contrast, stimulation deficits, family pressure, and inadequately structured systems intensify vulnerability. Overall, the results underscore the need to rethink current intervention models through a trauma-aware perspective that strengthens emotional support, learning conditions, and early guidance to promote more sustainable inclusion trajectories for UFMs.
地中海国家中无人陪伴的外国未成年人(UFMs)的增加增加了了解与他们的移民轨迹相关的情感、认知和发展挑战的必要性。这些挑战与创伤、情感剥夺、刺激不足和不一致的护理系统有关,影响了他们在东道国的适应和学习过程。本研究旨在确定这些经历的主要后果以及最能支持UFMs发展的保护因素。通过对西班牙和意大利来自不同角色和制度背景的14位专业人士进行深入访谈的集体案例研究,采用了解释性定性设计。数据分析采用MAXQDA的归纳演绎编码策略,辅以专家验证、成员检查、三角测量和多层可靠性协议。研究结果强调了稳定、支持性关系和情感共同调节在促进康复和促进适应方面的核心作用。其他保护因素包括早期认知和语言刺激、文化敏感做法、恢复性机构环境以及向成年过渡期间的有组织陪伴。相反,刺激不足、家庭压力和结构不充分的系统加剧了脆弱性。总的来说,研究结果强调需要从创伤意识的角度重新思考当前的干预模式,加强情感支持、学习条件和早期指导,以促进ufm更可持续的包容轨迹。

Forensic health examinations are a routine part of child abuse investigations, yet healthcare professionals may lack the skills required to communicate effectively with victims. Best practice interviewing techniques have been adopted in various professions, yet they have not been widely implemented among healthcare professionals. Little is known about the communication dynamics during forensic health examinations in relation to best practice interviewing principles. Participants included nine youths (aged 13–16) and eight healthcare professionals involved in forensic dental and medical examinations carried out as part of child abuse investigations. Using a hybrid content analysis approach supplemented by inductive coding, healthcare professionals’ utterances were coded to identify the use of open-ended or closed-ended statements. Children’s responses were categorised as descriptive, “don’t know,” or yes/no. The length of each utterance or response was measured by word count. Preliminary revealed that healthcare professionals primarily used option-posing utterances, while invitations were used in only 0.6% of cases. Conversations also lacked a clear structure, with key components such as introductory statements and ground rules inconsistently applied. This study highlights the need to establish best practice interviewing techniques tailored for healthcare settings. Given their crucial role in child abuse investigations, healthcare professionals should receive training in evidence-based communication strategies. Implementing structured interviewing protocols in medical and dental contexts could improve information gathering while ensuring child-centred, ethical, and supportive interactions.
法医健康检查是虐待儿童调查的常规部分,但保健专业人员可能缺乏与受害者有效沟通所需的技能。最佳实践访谈技术已在各种专业中采用,但尚未在医疗保健专业人员中广泛实施。关于法医健康检查期间与最佳做法面谈原则有关的沟通动态,我们所知甚少。参与者包括9名青少年(13-16岁)和8名医疗保健专业人员,他们参与了作为虐待儿童调查的一部分进行的法医牙科和医学检查。使用混合内容分析方法辅以归纳编码,对医疗保健专业人员的话语进行编码,以确定开放式或封闭式语句的使用。孩子们的回答分为描述性、“不知道”和“是/否”。每个话语或回答的长度是通过字数来衡量的。初步发现,医疗保健专业人员主要使用选择姿势的话语,而邀请仅在0.6%的情况下使用。谈话也缺乏清晰的结构,介绍性陈述和基本规则等关键部分的应用不一致。这项研究强调需要建立适合医疗保健环境的最佳实践访谈技术。鉴于卫生保健专业人员在虐待儿童调查中的关键作用,他们应接受循证传播战略方面的培训。在医疗和牙科环境中实施结构化访谈协议可以改进信息收集,同时确保以儿童为中心、合乎道德和支持性的互动。

Background

Mentalization is assumed to play a role in healthy youth development, particularly in the domain of social functioning. If compromised, difficulties in social functioning are likely to occur, potentially leading to externalizing behavior. To review the existing empirical research on the association between mentalization (problems) and externalizing behavior in youth, we conducted a meta-analysis.

Method

A three-level meta-analysis was conducted, accounting for both within and between study heterogeneity of effect sizes, using Pearson’s r as a measure for the association between mentalization and externalizing behavior. Study (e.g., impact factor and region), sample (e.g., age and type of sample), mentalization (e.g., type of assessment), and outcome characteristics (e.g., type of externalizing behavior) were used to examine potential moderating effects.

Results

The meta-analysis contained 27 reports of 25 independent studies, reporting on 130 effect sizes, and a total sample of 7301 subjects. A significant and small overall correlation between mentalization and externalizing behavior was found (r = 0.11), indicating that stronger developed mentalization capacities were associated with less externalizing behavior problems. Moderator analyses revealed a significant effect for sex and type and assessment of mentalization (problems).

Conclusions

Our findings show that mentalization is both a possible protective and risk factor for externalizing behavior. The enhancement of mentalization in adolescence could be a target in interventions to mitigate externalizing behavior problems. Furthermore, we argue that the assessment of mentalization needs particular attention in future research, allowing us to unravel the relation between mentalization (problems) and externalizing behavior in more detail, providing more opportunities for individualized treatment.
心理化被认为在健康的青少年发展中起着重要作用,特别是在社会功能领域。如果受到损害,社会功能可能出现困难,潜在地导致外化行为。为了回顾已有的关于青少年心理化(问题)与外化行为之间关系的实证研究,我们进行了meta分析。方法进行三水平荟萃分析,考虑研究内部和研究之间的效应量异质性,使用Pearson 's r作为心理化和外化行为之间关联的度量。研究(例如,影响因素和地区)、样本(例如,年龄和样本类型)、心理化(例如,评估类型)和结果特征(例如,外化行为类型)被用来检查潜在的调节作用。结果荟萃分析包含25项独立研究的27份报告,报告了130个效应量,总样本为7301名受试者。心理化与外化行为之间存在显著且较小的整体相关性(r = 0.11),表明心理化能力越强,外化行为问题越少。调节分析显示性别、心理化(问题)类型和评估有显著影响。结论心理化可能是外化行为的保护因素,也是外化行为的危险因素。青少年心理化的增强可以成为减轻外化行为问题的干预目标。此外,我们认为在未来的研究中需要特别关注心理化的评估,使我们能够更详细地揭示心理化(问题)与外化行为之间的关系,为个性化治疗提供更多机会。

Multisystemic Therapy (MST) is a community-based, family intervention for young people with complex social, clinical and educational problems such as aggression, antisocial behaviour or substance misuse. Since the first efficacy trial (Henggeler et al., 1986) and subsequent implementation of MST, the treatment has been expanded globally. There are now more than 600 MST programmes across 15 countries worldwide, including 10 European countries. This article reviews the MST journey in Europe, regarding its implementation, research and adaptation. The difference between the US emphasis on fidelity of implementation and the more flexible need-responsive approach taken in Europe is discussed, together with the implementation challenges related to cultural and contextual differences. We provide a reflection on the related research challenges and differences found in trial results between the US and Europe. The article highlights the way Europe has responded to societal needs by developing more tailored and adapted programmes and the subsequent implications for research.
多系统治疗(MST)是一种以社区为基础的家庭干预,针对有复杂的社会、临床和教育问题的年轻人,如攻击、反社会行为或药物滥用。自首次疗效试验(Henggeler et al., 1986)和随后实施MST以来,该治疗已在全球推广。目前,全球15个国家(包括10个欧洲国家)共有600多个MST项目。本文回顾了MST在欧洲的实施、研究和适应历程。讨论了美国强调实施的保真度与欧洲采取的更灵活的需求响应方法之间的差异,以及与文化和背景差异相关的实施挑战。我们对相关的研究挑战和美国和欧洲在试验结果中发现的差异进行了反思。这篇文章强调了欧洲通过制定更有针对性和适应性的项目以及随后对研究的影响来响应社会需求的方式。

Relationships Between Peer Bullying, Short Video Addiction, Sleep Deprivation, and Life Satisfaction in School-Aged Children 学龄儿童同伴欺凌、短视频成瘾、睡眠剥夺与生活满意度的关系
IF 1.7 2区 社会学 Q1 FAMILY STUDIES Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-03 DOI: 10.1016/j.childyouth.2025.108746

Purpose

This study aimed to examine the complex relationships among peer bullying, short video addiction, sleep deprivation, and life satisfaction in school-age children aged 10–12 years. It further explored the mediating roles of short video addiction and sleep in these associations.

Methods

A cross-sectional design was adopted with a sample of 854 students selected via simple random sampling from public middle schools. Data were collected using validated scales and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and bootstrapping techniques. Model fit indices and indirect effects were tested.

Results

Victimization significantly predicted short video addiction (β = 0.148), which in turn predicted higher sleep deprivation (β = 0.475). Sleep deprivation negatively affected life satisfaction (β =  − 0.297). Notably, short video addiction had an indirect effect on life satisfaction mediated by sleep deprivation (β =  − 0.141). The model demonstrated acceptable fit (RMSEA = 0.047; CFI = 0.879).

Conclusion

The findings reveal a multi-layered pathway where peer victimization indirectly reduces life satisfaction through digital behavioral patterns and sleep disruptions. This study provides one of the first empirical models integrating these psychosocial variables in children.
Implications: Interventions targeting short video addiction and sleep regulation may enhance children’s life satisfaction. Findings also validate the Life Satisfaction Scale for use in the 10–12 age group.
目的探讨10 ~ 12岁学龄儿童同伴欺凌、短视频成瘾、睡眠剥夺和生活满意度之间的复杂关系。它进一步探讨了短视频成瘾和睡眠在这些关联中的中介作用。方法采用横断面设计,采用简单随机抽样的方法抽取公立中学学生854名。数据采用有效的量表收集,并使用结构方程模型(SEM)和自举技术进行分析。对模型拟合指标和间接效应进行了检验。结果受害显著预测短视频成瘾(β = 0.148),短视频成瘾预测睡眠剥夺(β = 0.475)。睡眠剥夺对生活满意度有负向影响(β = - 0.297)。值得注意的是,短视频成瘾对睡眠剥夺介导的生活满意度有间接影响(β = - 0.141)。模型拟合可接受(RMSEA = 0.047; CFI = 0.879)。研究结果揭示了同伴受害通过数字行为模式和睡眠中断间接降低生活满意度的多层次途径。本研究提供了第一个整合儿童心理社会变量的经验模型。启示:针对短视频成瘾和睡眠调节的干预可能会提高儿童的生活满意度。研究结果也证实了生活满意度量表在10-12岁年龄组中的应用。

Barriers to ensuring child participation in the daily practice of Lithuanian child welfare professionals 确保儿童参与立陶宛儿童福利专业人员日常工作的障碍
IF 1.7 2区 社会学 Q1 FAMILY STUDIES Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-12 DOI: 10.1016/j.childyouth.2026.108770

Studies on child participation reveal a significant gap between the declaration of child participation in their own protection and provision processes and the reality of such participation. Reviews of children’s experiences indicate a tendency for children to be ignored or to be engaged merely symbolically. Without meaningful child participation, there is a greater likelihood of overestimating or underestimating violence, misidentifying children’s needs, and selecting protection and provision measures that are not effective enough. It is therefore essential to investigate the factors that prevent meaningful child participation. The views of professionals who decide whether and how to involve children in decision-making, and the obstacles they encounter in achieving child participation in protection and provision processes, are fundamental. This article aims to analyse the obstacles to ensuring child participation based on the everyday experiences of child welfare professionals. To achieve this goal, the following objectives have been set: (1) to identify obstacles to child participation related to the attitudes of street-level bureaucrats towards child participation; (2) to identify obstacles to child participation related to social, organisational, and institutional factors in child protection; and (3) to provide recommendations on how to improve the quality of child participation in child protection and provision processes. The study is based on theoretical approaches of street-level bureaucrats and meaningful child participation. Semi-structured qualitative interviews with child welfare professionals were used to collect empirical data. Sixteen child welfare specialists participated in the study, conducted from November to December 2022. Data analysis identified obstacles that significantly limit the child participation in the child protection process. These include the paternalistic and protectionist approaches of professionals towards children, the influence of their parents (prohibiting communication with specialists, failure to create a safe environment, manipulation of the child’s opinion), lack of specialist competence and measures to facilitate child participation, as well as time constraints and heavy workloads. In practice, the interaction of these obstacles creates conditions for children to be ignored or for their participation to be tokenistic. The article provides conclusions and recommendations for removing the identified barriers.
关于儿童参与的研究表明,在儿童参与保护和提供自己的过程的宣言与这种参与的现实之间存在重大差距。对儿童经历的回顾表明,儿童倾向于被忽视或仅仅象征性地参与。如果没有有意义的儿童参与,就更有可能高估或低估暴力,错误识别儿童的需求,以及选择不够有效的保护和提供措施。因此,必须调查妨碍儿童有意义参与的因素。决定是否和如何让儿童参与决策的专业人员的意见,以及他们在实现儿童参与保护和提供过程中遇到的障碍,都是至关重要的。本文旨在根据儿童福利专业人员的日常经验,分析确保儿童参与的障碍。为了实现这一目标,制定了以下目标:(1)确定与街头官僚对儿童参与的态度有关的儿童参与障碍;(2)识别与儿童保护方面的社会、组织和体制因素有关的儿童参与障碍;(3)就如何提高儿童参与儿童保护和提供过程的质量提出建议。该研究基于街头官僚和有意义的儿童参与的理论方法。采用对儿童福利专业人员的半结构化定性访谈来收集实证数据。16名儿童福利专家参与了这项研究,于2022年11月至12月进行。数据分析确定了严重限制儿童参与儿童保护进程的障碍。这些问题包括专业人员对儿童的家长式和保护主义态度、父母的影响(禁止与专家交流、未能创造安全的环境、操纵儿童的意见)、缺乏专业能力和促进儿童参与的措施,以及时间限制和繁重的工作量。在实践中,这些障碍的相互作用为儿童被忽视或象征性地参与创造了条件。本文为消除已确定的障碍提供了结论和建议。

Parent group facilitators’ reflections on accessibility of in-person and videoconference meetings 家长小组辅导员对面对面会议和视频会议可及性的思考
IF 1.7 2区 社会学 Q1 FAMILY STUDIES Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-11 DOI: 10.1016/j.childyouth.2026.108768

During the COVID-19 pandemic, facilitators of preexisting parent groups (including support groups, parent education, and playgroups) quickly shifted meetings from in-person (IP) to videoconference (VC) format. This study explores facilitators’ perceptions of each meeting format’s affordances and/or constraints on accessibility. Such perspectives are pertinent as organizations decide how to provide services to families with young children, a population at higher risk for contagious viruses. Ten facilitators of parent groups for families of children prenatal to 5 years old engaged in one of four 90-minute VC focus groups to share experiences facilitating VC parent group meetings. Facilitators from organizations providing basic needs services saw IP meetings affording parents greater accessibility due to the interactions or services offered to recruit parents (e.g., providing meals, diapers, connection to resources, etc.). They felt that difficulties with virtual participation made VC parent group meetings less accessible for parents. Yet, other facilitators experienced in VC believed that VC meetings improved parent accessibility by eliminating travel and geographic barriers. They saw IP meetings as restrictive for parents with issues commuting, getting out of the house with their children or maintaining health and safety boundaries. For all facilitators, VC meetings were shorter, more frequent, and offered at a wider variety of times than IP, which some facilitators believed improved accessibility. No facilitators considered IP or VC meetings as the sole format to address all parents’ accessibility needs. These nuanced findings imply a need to identify both the subcomponents of accessibility to programming as well as the heterogeneous accessibility needs of participants and staff.
在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,已有的家长小组(包括支持小组、家长教育和游戏小组)的协调员迅速将会议从面对面(IP)转变为视频会议(VC)形式。本研究探讨了主持人对每种会议形式的支持和/或对可访问性的限制的看法。这些观点与各组织决定如何向有幼儿的家庭提供服务有关,幼儿是感染传染性病毒风险较高的人群。10名有产前至5岁儿童的家庭家长小组的主持人参加了四个90分钟的VC焦点小组之一,分享了促进VC家长小组会议的经验。来自提供基本需求服务的组织的协调员认为,IP会议通过为招募父母提供的互动或服务(例如,提供膳食、尿布、资源连接等),为父母提供了更大的可访问性。他们认为,虚拟参与的困难使家长更不容易参加VC家长小组会议。然而,其他在风险投资中有经验的主持人认为,风险投资会议通过消除旅行和地理障碍改善了家长的可达性。他们认为IP会议对那些有通勤问题、带孩子出门或保持健康和安全界限的父母来说是一种限制。对于所有的引导者来说,VC会议比IP会议更短、更频繁,而且提供的时间更多样化,一些引导者认为这提高了可访问性。没有辅导员认为IP或VC会议是解决所有家长无障碍需求的唯一形式。这些细微的发现意味着需要识别编程可访问性的子组件以及参与者和工作人员的异构可访问性需求。
