Doktorsavhandling Draxler 2022:22
Nedan följer en kort beskrivning av innehållet (ur baksidestexten):
There is a need for new interventions for families exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV) in Sweden. Project Support (PS) has been chosen as one such intervention based on previous positive research conducted in the US addressing child behavioural problems and maternal needs. When transferring an intervention to a new context, its feasibility must first be evaluated. Building on aspects of feasibility, this dissertation examines the transferability of PS to social services and to families exposed to IPV in Sweden.
The PS intervention was found to be promising for Swedish IPV-exposed families. In line with previous research, PS resulted in improved parenting capacity and reduced child behavioural problems. However, from a clinical perspective many parents had additional needs regarding psychiatric symptoms in the aftermath of IPV. Results indicate that PS needed cultural adaptations when being implemented in Sweden and that managerial support was important during this implementation. Taken together, the present results indicate that PS should be further implemented and evaluated in Sweden, highlighting the importance of conducting feasibility studies.
