This study describes services provided by family support specialists (FSS), peer advocates in programs for children with serious psychiatric conditions, to delineate differences between recommended components of FSS services and services actually provided. An analysis of qualitative interview and observational data and quantitative survey data from 63 staff at 21 mental health programs in New York identified that FSS and other staff have generally similar ideas about FSS services, and that these perceptions of activities are generally congruent with what FSS actually did. Implications of findings are discussed in the context of developing competencies and quality indicators for FSS.
本研究描述了家庭支持专家(FSS)所提供的服务,这些专家是针对患有严重精神疾病儿童的项目中的同伴倡导者,旨在阐明FSS服务的推荐组成部分与实际提供的服务之间的差异。对来自纽约21个心理健康项目的63名工作人员的定性访谈、观察数据和定量调查数据进行分析后发现,FSS和其他工作人员对FSS服务的看法总体相似,并且这些对活动的认知通常与FSS实际所做的事情一致。研究结果的意义将在为FSS制定能力和质量指标的背景下进行讨论。
