Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic created new challenges and barriers for the work of child protection professionals (CPPs) and intensified existing hardships for families and children, increasing the risk of child maltreatment. As new restrictions and precautions were implemented by governments worldwide to stop the virus from spreading, CPPs had to adapt to a new reality of working remotely. However, limited research has investigated how remote work impacted CPPs and child protection work and how CPPs handled this alternative work style.
OBJECTIVE: This review aims to address gaps in the research to reveal the creative and effective approaches CPPs developed to overcome the challenges presented by COVID-19, defined as the \'positive legacy\' of CPPs, particularly in adapting to remote work challenges.
METHODS: This review was conducted using a scoping review, followed by two rounds of thematic analysis. The scoping review was conducted in six languages: Hebrew, Arabic, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and English.
RESULTS: The first round of thematic analysis found 18 articles relevant to this review. The second round extracted two main themes: 1) the challenges of remote work and 2) overcoming the challenges of no contact.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this review may be used to inform future strategies for child protection during a pandemic. They also provide an opportunity to rethink the relationship child protection work has with technology to systematically reform current and future protection policies and practices, including outside of a pandemic.
摘要:
背景:COVID-19大流行给儿童保护专业人员(CPP)的工作带来了新的挑战和障碍,并加剧了家庭和儿童的现有困境,增加儿童虐待的风险。随着世界各国政府实施新的限制和预防措施来阻止病毒传播,CPP必须适应远程工作的新现实。然而,有限的研究调查了远程工作如何影响CPP和儿童保护工作,以及CPP如何处理这种替代工作方式。
目的:这篇综述旨在弥补研究中的空白,以揭示CPPs为克服COVID-19带来的挑战而开发的创造性和有效的方法,COVID-19被定义为CPPs的“积极遗产”,特别是在适应远程工作的挑战。
方法:本综述是使用范围审查进行的,随后进行两轮专题分析。范围审查以六种语言进行:希伯来语,阿拉伯语,法语,葡萄牙语,西班牙语,和英语。
结果:第一轮主题分析发现了18篇与本综述相关的文章。第二轮提取了两个主要主题:1)远程工作的挑战和2)克服无接触的挑战。
结论:本综述的结果可用于为未来大流行期间的儿童保护策略提供信息。它们还为重新思考儿童保护工作与技术的关系提供了机会,以系统地改革当前和未来的保护政策和做法,包括在大流行之外。
