“…These agencies, as well as child welfare researchers, consistently look to find ways to retain child welfare staff. In a previous article (Katz et al, 2021), we found a relationship between agency leadership and intent to leave in three child welfare agencies in a large Northeastern city. Other research has examined factors related to retention and burnout such as organizational and personal factors (Westbrook et al, 2006), job satisfaction (Stalker et al, 2007), and professional organizational culture and coping strategies (Lee et al, 2011).…”

“…We believe the experience of navigating child welfare work responsibilities in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic would uniquely influence participant views on (a) coping and (b) intent to leave their jobs, their places of employment and the field of child welfare in general so we sought to explore these relationships in the fourth data set only. Further details on a study including the first three child welfare agencies can be found in a paper recently published by the research team (Katz et al, 2021).…”

“…Del mismo modo, si el o la profesional se siente motivado o motivada, los niveles de implicación, de bienestar y de rendimiento también son mayores (Guest, 2017). En situaciones donde se ven involucrados factores como el logro, el reconocimiento verbal, la supervisión y la promoción de la salud organizacional en los y las profesionales de AR, se produce un efecto positivo en la capacitación y la autoeficacia de las y los trabajadores, la calidad de los resultados y la retención de la plantilla laboral (Katz et al, 2022;Lawrence, 2017;Radey & Stanley, 2018).…”

Esta revisión sistemática examina la satisfacción laboral entre el personal que trabaja en centros de acogimiento infantojuvenil, con el objetivo de comprender los factores que influyen en su bienestar y su impacto en la calidad del cuidado proporcionado a las personas acogidas. Para ello se ha realizado una búsqueda exhaustiva en bases de datos de estudios europeos sobre la temática publicados desde 2016 a 2023. El estudio incluye un total de 21 artículos que cumplen con los criterios de inclusión. Los resultados muestran que la satisfacción laboral en los centros de acogimiento infantojuvenil es un aspecto multidimensional y complejo. Por un lado, se han hallado evidencias basadas en los déficits como el estrés laboral, la despersonalización, la falta de apoyo institucional, el estrés traumático secundario o la fatiga por compasión; que pueden suponer factores de riesgo ante la aparición de malestar laboral. Por otro lado, la existencia de recursos en forma de protección como los autocuidados, el sentido de la coherencia, la supervisión de equipo y la promoción del logro; que potencian el bienestar laboral. Se concluye que la satisfacción laboral en los centros de acogimiento infantojuvenil tiene un impacto directo en el bienestar de la plantilla y en el desarrollo y bienestar emocional de las personas bajo su cuidado. Por lo tanto, se recomienda a las instituciones implementar estrategias de apoyo y capacitación para el personal, con el fin de fomentar un ambiente laboral positivo y fortalecer la calidad de la atención brindada a niños, niñas y jóvenes.

“…On-demand training was also important owing to the generally high level of staff turnover observed in social work. Problems with turnover and retention in front-line staff working in child welfare are well-documented internationally (DePanfilis & Zlotnik, 2008; Katz et al, 2021; Mor Barak et al, 2001). However, there is surprisingly little research on this important topic in Denmark.…”

Purpose: To fulfill their supervision and counseling responsibilities to foster parents, social workers need an effective way to indirectly monitor foster children's mental health and learning ability within a model of tripartite parenthood. This article describes how we are developing an intervention aimed at enhancing parental monitoring as a protective factor in family foster care. Methods: Focusing on the initial parts of Fraser et al.'s stepwise model for intervention development and drawing on ongoing research, we describe the main challenges faced in developing a program theory of parental monitoring. Results: The product is a manual that can transform the agenda of counseling meetings based on the following pre-requisites: appropriate standardized instruments, a common digital platform, training social workers, and being responsive to municipal differences. Conclusion: Our experience thus far allows us to be cautiously optimistic about strengthening parental monitoring in family foster care.
