Few studies have examined interventions that help adolescents who run away. This study both describes a home-visiting intervention program for young, sexually assaulted runaways (10-14 years old) and provides preliminary outcomes from the first 20 female participants.
Using a strengths-based approach, advanced practice nurses provided frequent home and school visits and case management, and assisted girls to access an empowerment group over a 1-year period.
Teens' risk behaviors decreased, including truancy, runaway episodes, sexually transmitted infections, and substance use.
Preliminary results suggest that this is an effective intervention for reducing risk behaviors and helping younger runaways reconnect to school and family.
Client-centered interventions in community settings can address the complex health needs of vulnerable young runaways.
很少有研究探讨帮助离家出走青少年的干预措施。本研究既描述了针对遭受性侵犯的离家出走青少年(10 - 14岁)的家访干预项目,又提供了首批20名女性参与者的初步结果。
采用基于优势的方法,高级执业护士在1年时间内频繁进行家访和学校探访并提供病例管理,协助女孩参加一个赋权小组。
青少年的危险行为减少,包括逃学、离家出走事件、性传播感染和药物使用。
初步结果表明,这是一种有效的干预措施,可减少危险行为并帮助较年轻的离家出走者重新与学校和家庭建立联系。
社区环境中以客户为中心的干预措施可以满足弱势离家出走青少年复杂的健康需求。
