Practitioner’s professional characteristics associated with the mental health service engagement among transition age youth = 정신장애청년의 정신보건 서비스 관계형성에 영향을 미치는 서비스 실무자 요인연구

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of practitioner's predictors on the mental health service engagement of transition age youth. In particular, this study examined how practitioner's professional characteristics were related to mental health service engagement controlling for organizational attributes. Previous studies provided some evidence that service provider level factors predicted client treatment continuation beyond clients’ individual factors. A cross-sectional survey design was used to address the research questions. The results showed that it was not the static demographic variables that predicted service engagement, but potentially modifiable factors, including service barriers and case load size, and organizational attributes. These findings may give important leads as to which interventions might result in improvements in TAY service engagement. These findings are critical for social workers and other allied human service professionals who are responsible for working across systems with youth and young adults in transition. In addition, these findings may give important leads as to which interventions might result in improvements in TAY service engagement.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 청소년에서 성년의 전환기에 있는 정신장애청년들의 정신보건 서비스 관계형성에 영향을 미치는 서비스 실무자 수준의 영향요인을 파악할 목적으로 미국의 북동부 지역 정신보건 서비스 실무자들을 대상으로 수행되었다. 연구문제의 해결을 위해 서비스 실무자들의 서비스 관계형성 인식 및 서비스 관련 정보들을 설문조사하였다. 선행연구의 검토를 통해 10가지의 서비스 실무자 수준의 변수들(실무자 개인적 특성, 실무자 전문적 특성)이 분석모형에 투입되었고 추가적으로 4가지의 기관 수준의 변수들이 통제되었는데 그 중, 서비스 실무자가 근무하고 있는 기관의 서비스 전달 장애요소들에 대한 인식과 담당하고 있는 케이스의 수가 서비스 관계형성을 설명하는 가장 설명력이 큰 변수로 파악되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 실천현장의 사회복지사, 사례관리자, 상담가들이 서비스 수혜의 전환시점에 있는 정신장애청년들의 지속적인 서비스 연계 및 유지를 할 수 있도록 도와줄 뿐 아니라, 해당 정보를 바탕으로 개별화된 서비스 계획을 수립하는데도 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
