Family Assessment Paper Social Work Practice with Individuals, Families and Groups – Fall, 2021 Instructor: Rebecca Dougherty, MSW, LCSW Detailed Assignment and Scoring Guide for: Family Assessment Paper Due: November 23 As described in the syllabus, the “family” that your group role-plays during the in-class family module lab will form the basis of your assessment paper. Each paper will include: 1. EBP questions and annotations: ALL (each person finds one source and creates one summary) · Formulate a background AND an effectiveness EBP question related to the issues presented by the simulated family. (2 questions total) · Utilize the EBP Process worksheets to document: your question formation, PICO, keywords/synonyms, search strategy, database selection and search results. · Summarize four empirical articles in an annotated bibliography. · Locate sources that contain empirical information relevant to your evidence-based practice questions. Briefly examine and review the actual items. · Choose two relevant articles which provide information to answer each of the two EBP questions. · Cite the articles using APA format for annotations. For each citation, write a concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope of the article. Address the following, using 1 to 5 sentences each: · What is the research/study question? · What is the study design? How rigorous is the design? · What is the sample size? Is the sample diverse as well as generalizable to your client family’s demographics? · What are the results and how were they measured? Do they appear accurate? · Does the study offer important information that can guide practice/policy decisions? Specifically, how is the information in the article relevant to your understanding of/work with this family? 2. A narrative family assessment concisely yet fully addressing each of the following categories: (from Gladding, S. (1995). Family therapy: History, theory, and practice.) · Asia Family information: names of family members, ethnicity; primary language spoken; ages, education, occupation, annual household income; years married or in relationship with partner; children, ages; description if blended family relationship; special needs/health concerns of family members; cultural/religious considerations · Asia Family life stages (i.e. courtship, early marriage, child bearing, child rearing, parents of teenager, launching, middle years, retirement) · Asia Pertinent family-of-origin information (positive or negative influence from past generations) · Bixuan Presenting problem/change desired (include each family member's perspective) · Bixuan identified symptom and function of symptom · Bixuan Repetitive nonproductive behavioral sequences · Minglu attempted solutions, attempts to maintain homeostatic balance · Minglu Family Structure: enmeshment, isolation or individuation, chaos, rigidity or flexibility; power structure; hierarchy; rules that govern family; generational boundaries; spousal/partner relationships, alliances, roles played) (this description should align with the visual genogram included in the case file) · Minglu External sources of stress and support (relationships outside immediate family: community, work, friends, relatives) Attach the family ecomap as an appendix. · Abdul Family Strengths · Abdul Significant physical or mental health conditions; medication; substance abuse. · Abdul Other information (previous treatment--type of agency, services provided, etc.) 3. Asia + Bixuan Using the assigned readings from class AND the background articles that you annotated, describe the relevant family systems issues for your family. · Identify some of the family dynamics exhibited in the sessions · Consider and describe: Communication and interaction styles (i.e. direct, clear, indirect, confused, vague, double binding, affective, cognitive, positive, supported, negative, aggressive.) · Describe how these issues and dynamics were addressed by the social worker · In retrospect, describe some of the issues and dynamics that the social worker might have handled differently? 4. Abdul + Minglu Briefly describe the treatment plan developed for this family. · Discuss interventions used during the family lab sessions (not just the intervention session) this should be a summary and should include any strategies you introduced during any/all of the sessions (i.e. teaching I statements, etc.) · Indicate what worked, and what did not work and how you know this. · Identify other interventions that would have been appropriate for this family, with an explanation of why these interventions would have been helpful. Note: the effectiveness articles that you annotated will likely be useful in this section 5. Community Resources: · Asia + Bixuan Identify resources needed by the family and the rationale for the need. · Abdul + Minglu Describe the availability of these resources in St. Louis, with specific contact information and information on referral processes to obtain services from 2 local agencies.

Organize Your EBP Question in PICO Format To do this, consider the following: 1. Underline the key words – those that will be most specific to your question 2. Organize your EBP question and key words you will use in PICO Format (Richardson, et al., 1995) 3. Brainstorm some additional key words using synonyms to describe your EBP question *Note: depending on your EBP question, not all boxes in the keywords and synonyms table may be filled. Therefore, proceed with what is known for each box. Below are some suggested prompts for each box in the table: Population or Client Characteristics Intervention or Research Methodology Comparison or Control Group Outcomes Keywords/synonyms that describe the client or the issue of interest. · Displacement · Financial Instability · Social-emotional well being Keywords/synonyms that describe the intervention or research methodology (for example) · Intervention to support displaced family · Therapeutic intervention to support the families social-emotional well-being (drinking, drug use, poor communication) Keywords/synonyms that describe the comparison or the group that was not subject to the policy or condition. · Home ownership · Property ownership · Government/ Agent · Expropriated land Keywords/synonyms that describe the outcome of interest to you and your client. · Temporary housing · Food security · Financial stability · Post-Traumatic Growth Keywords and Synonyms Table Population or Client Characteristic Intervention or Research Methodology Comparison or Control Group Outcomes · Multigenerational family · Job insecurity · Financial instability · Affordable housing opportunities · Job postings · Policies and eminent domain · Ownership · Government Agencies · Expropriated land · Security · Stability · Growth Locate the Best Available Evidence Basic Search Strategy and Selected Databases Your Basic Search Strategy: (write out your actual strategies, such as truncation and Boolean operators that you will use – this will look like a strange sentence, but that’s OK) · Eminent Domain AND Negative · Eminent Domain OR Displacement · Eminent Domain OR Displacement OR Negative OR Families Database Ranking Table Select the databases, sources, or web sites you will use to answer your EBP question and list the names of them here. Rank orders the most appropriate databases. Be sure to list the actual database, not just the portal (for example, EBSCO Host is a portal which catalogs several databases). 1.ScienceDirect 6. Govinfo 2. ERIC 7. 3. JSTOR 8. 4. U.S. Commission of Civil Rights 9. 5. Land Economics 10. Documenting Your Search Results Document your search results by filling in the database, date, exact spelling of all keywords used in each search, and # of studies found. Then assess your search strategy by evaluating the quantity and the quality of your search results. Refine your strategy to find the most relevant articles to answer your EBP question. Search Results Table Name of Database and Date Searched Basic Search Strategies Used in Literature Search – exactly as entered in search box (Keywords, Combination of Keywords, Limiters, Boolean Operators, etc.) Record the Number of Studies Notes about the Quantity of your Search Results (be specific about your assessment of the number you found – saying “too few” or “too many” is not sufficient) Notes about the Quality of Your Search Results (do titles found match keywords or relate to EBP question, are they the appropriate methodological type, etc?)
