Abstract

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to develop a reliable and valid self-evaluation tool for use by child protection team (CPT) members.

METHODS

An online survey was administered to members of 10 CPTs. The survey included the following 3 sections: 1) initial conditions (eg, team composition, resources), 2) enabling conditions (eg, team effort, strategy), and 3) team effectiveness (eg, team cohesion, meeting performance standards). Each section contained multiple subscales. Internal consistency was calculated using Cronbach α. To evaluate construct validity, the subscale scores of the most advanced teams who qualified as centers of excellence (n = 3) were compared with the subscale scores of the other teams (n = 7) to determine whether the tool could distinguish between the two.

RESULTS

Of 116 team members, 83 (72%) completed the survey. The subscales exhibited good internal consistency (α = .71-.97). The 3 centers of excellence had significantly higher mean scores than the other 7 CPTs on the following subscales: incentives (in the initial conditions section, 61.46 vs 38.89; P = .003), effort (in the enabling conditions section, 79.31 vs 67.70; P = .003), and professional growth (in the team effectiveness section, 83.89 vs 80.40; P = .004).

CONCLUSIONS

This novel survey demonstrates satisfactory test characteristics and can be used to assess CPT performance and identify areas for improvement.

摘要

目的

本研究旨在开发一种可靠且有效的自评工具，供儿童保护团队（CPT）成员使用。

方法

对 10 个 CPT 的成员进行了在线调查。该调查包括以下 3 个部分：1）初始条件（如团队组成、资源），2）实现条件（如团队努力、策略），3）团队效能（如团队凝聚力、满足绩效标准）。每个部分包含多个子量表。采用 Cronbach α 计算内部一致性。为了评估结构有效性，将符合卓越中心标准的最先进团队（n = 3）的子量表得分与其他团队（n = 7）的子量表得分进行比较，以确定该工具是否能够区分两者。

结果

在 116 名团队成员中，有 83 名（72%）完成了调查。子量表表现出良好的内部一致性（α =.71-.97）。3 个卓越中心在以下子量表上的平均得分明显高于其他 7 个 CPT：激励（在初始条件部分，61.46 与 38.89；P =.003）、努力（在实现条件部分，79.31 与 67.70；P =.003）、专业成长（在团队效能部分，83.89 与 80.40；P =.004）。
