by Isaac Fish | Mar 7, 2021 | _Move, Interventions, Research That Matters | 0 |
“I selected this research article for my Research Brief (RB) because it gave an in-depth explanation of various techniques and programs that can be used for children experiencing major behavioral issues. Not only does the article give a break down for each program and the steps used, but they also provide historical data from 40 years ago until today to explain the effectiveness of the specific programs. Additionally, these practices are strength-based interventions that can be used to empower not only the student with the problem behavior, but also their families as well.”

These RBs will describe research articles and what the particular study could contribute to your school social work practice, starting as soon as tomorrow. Today, we’re excited to share an RB by Loyola SSW student Ms. Amanda Pierson looking at different student school refusal profiles and their connection to anxiety and depression, as described in the 2018 article by Gonzálvez and colleagues, “Functional Profiles of School Refusal Behavior and Their Relationship with Depression, Anxiety, and Stress.”

by Michael Kelly | Nov 22, 2020 | Interventions, Research That Matters | 0 |
New study from IJSSW: “Youth from six intervention groups participated in this study through completing pre- and post-intervention surveys and focus groups. Our qualitative results identified a high level of acceptability among youth. Perceived benefits included improved coping and relaxation strategies, increased confidence and trust, increased peer connectedness and belongingness, benefits of sharing and exchanging stories with peers, and increased knowledge in the Canadian context. Youths’ scores on resilience and use of STRONG skills increased significantly from pre- to post-intervention, but there was no change in school connectedness scores. We discuss the convergence between qualitative and quantitative findings and highlight some of the areas that were only evident in focus groups.”
