We examine pilot results for the culturally adapted Weaving Healthy Families (WHF) program to promote resilience and wellness while preventing substance abuse and violence among Native American (NA) families.
Results were drawn from paired sample tests and analyses of variance (ANOVA) with a convenience sample of 24 adults and adolescents from eight NA families (pretest, posttest, and, where available, 6-month postintervention).
Along with substance abuse reduction and prevention, test results indicated reductions in (a) adult depressive symptoms and improvements in adult conflict resolution and health behaviors; (b) adolescent wellness; and (c) adult and adolescent resilience, communal mastery, social support, and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption. ANOVA tests revealed reductions in adult psychological and physical violence and improvements in adult and adolescent family resilience, family environment, and emotional regulation.
Results reveal promising preliminary results for the WHF program to promote resilience and thriving while reducing risk for substance abuse and violence in NA families.
我们研究了经过文化调适的“编织健康家庭”(WHF)项目的试点结果,该项目旨在增强复原力和促进健康,同时预防美国原住民(NA)家庭中的药物滥用和暴力行为。
结果来自配对样本检验和方差分析(ANOVA),样本为来自八个NA家庭的24名成年人和青少年(前测、后测,如有可用数据,还有干预后6个月的数据)的便利样本。
除了减少和预防药物滥用外,测试结果还表明:(a)成年人的抑郁症状有所减轻,成年人解决冲突的能力和健康行为有所改善;(b)青少年的健康状况有所改善;(c)成年人和青少年的复原力、集体掌控力、社会支持以及含糖饮料消费有所改善。方差分析测试显示,成年人的心理和身体暴力行为有所减少,成年人和青少年的家庭复原力、家庭环境和情绪调节能力有所改善。
结果显示,WHF项目在促进NA家庭的复原力和繁荣发展,同时降低药物滥用和暴力风险方面取得了令人鼓舞的初步成果。
