Research indicates young individuals with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in juvenile justice settings lack essential support, mainly due to staff members' insufficient knowledge and skills in TBI-related areas stemming from a lack of relevant professional development. This study aimed to improve services for justice-involved youths with TBI in juvenile correction facilities by establishing empirically validated core competencies tailored to their needs. Through a Delphi study involving experts in juvenile services, juvenile corrections, TBI, transition services, and professional development, we identified and refined a set of 44 competencies distributed across six domains: knowledge (12 competencies), screening (6 competencies), eligibility (3 competencies), assessment (4 competencies), intervention (10 competencies), and community reentry (9 competencies).
研究表明,在青少年司法环境中遭受创伤性脑损伤(TBI)的年轻人缺乏必要的支持,主要原因是工作人员在与TBI相关领域的知识和技能不足,这源于缺乏相关的专业发展。本研究旨在通过建立符合其需求的经实证验证的核心能力,改善青少年教养设施中患有TBI的涉司法青少年的服务。通过一项涉及青少年服务、青少年教养、TBI、过渡服务和专业发展等领域专家的德尔菲研究,我们确定并完善了一套44项能力,分布在六个领域:知识(12项能力)、筛查(6项能力)、资格(3项能力)、评估(4项能力)、干预(10项能力)和社区重新融入(9项能力)。
