“…The sparse literature available suggests that several referral process variables can be important. Geographic propinquity to a clinic can increase use of services (Novick et al, 1981). Also, referral by a family physician seems to be associated with increased attendance, but school referral seems to be associated with less likelihood of continuing (Gould et al, 1985;Novick et al, 1981).…”

“…Previous studies have reported that families characterized by socioeconomic disadvantage and ethnic minority status believe therapy is less credible than do other families (Kazdin, Stolar, & Marciano, 1995;Novick, Benson, & Rembar, 1981;Sue & Zane, 1987). We examined the relations between these and other child, parent, and family characteristics with parents' report of treatment credibility and expectancies.…”

Parent Beliefs about Treatment Credibility and Effectiveness: Assessment and Relation to Subsequent Treatment Participation

2006

We assessed parents' beliefs about treatment credibility and effectiveness and examined the influence of these beliefs on subsequent treatment participation. Seventysix parents completed the Credibility/Expectancies Questionnaire-Parent Version (CEQ-P), and subsequently participated in treatment for their child's clinically referred conduct problems. The key findings were that: (a) the CEQ-P is composed of two components that measure parents' treatment credibility and expectancies; (b) the total scale and each component are internally consistent and have strong test-retest reliability; (c) scores on the CEQ-P are significantly associated with scores on a measure of parent motivation for treatment, supporting the construct validity of this measure; and (d) scores on the CEQ-P at the first clinic visit significantly predict subsequent adherence to treatment procedures above and beyond demographic variables and parent motivation for treatment. This study provides an efficient and psychometrically sound measure of parent beliefs about treatment and demonstrates the importance of such beliefs for subsequent treatment adherence.

“…Some authors found that parents' treatment expectations were factors in attrition from child psychiatric services (Novick, Benson, & Rembar, 1981;Plunkett, 1984). Plunkett demonstrated that in an outpatient setting parents' expectations about the form and duration of treatment for their child affected utilization of the therapy offered.…”

Child psychiatric hospitalization is a time of crisis for the parents of a child with a mental disorder. Prior to hospitalization, the child's problematic behavior has escalated. Parents have various types of contact with mental health professionals prior to, during, and after the hospitalization, which influence their ability to care for their child. This paper reports a qualitative descriptive study of what parents need and want from mental health professionals during this time frame. During the study, parents spontaneously talked about what they needed and wanted from mental health professionals, including nursing personnel. The perspectives of 38 parents of 29 hospitalized children were obtained through interviews. Parents identified needing informational, emotional, and instrumental support most often in the interviews. Specific examples from the data are included in this report.
