SosiaalityöThis study examines parents’ experiences of the assessment and its outcomes in
child welfare. The research question is as follows: What factors concerning the
assessment process and context contribute to the outcomes of the assessment
from the perspective of the parents? The realistic evaluation and program
theory research give an evaluation research framework to the study.
In the study 177 parents from seven municipalities who are clients of child
welfare participated. Their families had experienced the assessment in child
welfare. Various analysis methods were used: cross table, t-test, correlation, fac-
tor analysis, hierarchical regression analysis, two-way variance analysis and the
bootstrap method.
The results indicate that the good client relationship oriented and the
strength oriented social work promoted the reaching of all the examined out-
comes of the assessment. The studied outcomes were as follows: increased
awareness of the child’s situation, the need for change and of the parent’s own
strengths, experience of the improvement of the family situation and the reach-
ing of similar views of the family situation with the social worker. Other factors
which promoted the reaching of the outcomes varied according to the particular
outcome. The father’s participation in the assessment, receiving a summary of
the assessment, the large number of meetings, the social worker’s assessment
orientation and the parent’s wish to get child oriented work promoted the
reaching of one or two of the outcomes. But if the social worker focused on the
problems of the family, it weakened possibilities for the parent to reach a simi-
lar view of the family situation as that of the social worker.
The context factors related to the background of the client affected the out-
comes, too. If the problems in the family were related to the parent’s problems
and if the family themselves had sought help from the child welfare social
worker then the situation was more sensitive to perform the assessment. But if
the social worker had a good relationship with the client, focused their
strengths and explained the assessment openly then positive outcomes were
more probable. Furthermore, the parent’s higher vocational education and a
smaller number of children were connected to positive outcomes. The study
shows that for the social worker it is important to invest in a good client rela-
tionship, review the strengths of the family, give a summary of the assessment
and to work with the whole family.
