Social workers' knowledge of autism and self-efficacy in its diagnosis and interventions / Yael KARNI-VISEL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 108 (October 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 108 (October 2023) . - p.102251 Titre : Social workers' knowledge of autism and self-efficacy in its diagnosis and interventions Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Yael KARNI-VISEL, Auteur ; Osnat ATUN-EINY, Auteur ; Ayelet BEN-SASSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102251 Mots-clés : Autism  Social work  Knowledge  Clinical self-efficacy  Multidisciplinary Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Early detection of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and adequate care provision depend upon competent community service providers. Social workers are well positioned to detect ASD, especially in marginalized populations. This study assessed social workers' ASD knowledge and clinical self-efficacy in ASD care. Method Social workers (N = 229, M = 13.97 years of experience, SD = 8.59) completed the ASD Knowledge and Self-Efficacy Questionnaire and a demographic and professional background questionnaire. Results Participants displayed a fair level of knowledge regarding ASD etiology and interventions and a low rate of lack of ASD knowledge. Social workers who worked in multidisciplinary settings showed significantly broader knowledge of ASD?s early clinical signs and diagnostic criteria and declared less lack of knowledge than those from welfare agencies. Using multiple regression analysis, self-efficacy was positively predicted by professional and knowledge parameters. The model explained 47.1% of the variance. Conclusions A multidisciplinary setting enhances social workers' theoretical and practical ASD knowledge, enabling them to face detection and intervention challenges. An in-depth understanding of knowledge gaps will assist in planning specialized training for social workers and promoting their self-efficacy in assessing and supporting children with ASD and their families.

The dynamics of two-session interviews with suspected victims of abuse who are reluctant to make allegations / Irit HERSHKOWITZ in Development and Psychopathology, 33-2 (May 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 33-2 (May 2021) . - p.739-747 Titre : The dynamics of two-session interviews with suspected victims of abuse who are reluctant to make allegations Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Irit HERSHKOWITZ, Auteur ; Michael E. LAMB, Auteur ; Uri BLASBALG, Auteur ; Yael KARNI-VISEL, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : p.739-747 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : child abuse  forensic investigation  rapport  social support  two-session interviews Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Supportive forensic interviews conducted in accordance with the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Revised Protocol (RP) help many alleged victims describe abusive experiences. When children remain reluctant to make allegations, the RP guides interviewers to (a) focus on rapport building and nonsuggestive support in a first interview, and (b) plan a second interview to allow continued rapport building before exploring for possible abuse. We explored the dynamics of such two-session RP interviews. Of 204 children who remained reluctant in an initial interview, we focused on 104 who made allegations when re-interviewed a few days later. A structural equation model revealed that interviewer support during the first session predicted children's cooperation during the rapport-building phase of the second session, which, in turn, predicted more spontaneous allegations, which were associated with the interviewers' enhanced use of open-ended questions. Together, these factors mediated the effects of support on children's free recall of forensically important information. This highlighted the importance of emphasizing rapport with reluctant children, confirming that some children may need more time to build rapport even with supportive interviewers.
