“…The current SSA did not include grey literature and only included two databases in the literature search. This may have resulted in some relevant research being missed from the final sample (McGinn et al, 2016). Additionally, relying on online searches may mean that earlier research which was not available online was overlooked.…”

A Study Space Analysis for Multiple Interviewing of Child Witnesses

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article presents a study space analysis of 44 published research studies examining the use of multiple interviews with child victims/witnesses. Study space analysis is a method of detecting gaps in the existing literature and thus determining whether ecologically valid situations that arise in practice have actually been addressed and studied. The use of this methodology is particularly useful for techniques which are being considered for changes in policy or practice, ensuring that the literature is sufficient to warrant change. Multiple or repeated interviewing has been argued by some authors to be ready for change. However, in the present study space analysis, it is concluded that despite a growing literature, there are still some key variables which require research examination prior to policy change. In particular, research is needed involving samples of children between 11 and 18 years old, participants with multiple needs and interviews regarding repeated events. Findings from the online supplementary material also identify the need for studies with longer delays between the event and the initial interview, more than two interviews of a child, phased multiple interviews and interviews conducted by professional interviewers.‘This article presents a study space analysis of 44 published research studies examining the use of multiple interviews with child victims/witnesses’Key Practitioner Messages Some researchers suggest that interviewing a child more than once about an event can be beneficial for police investigations as it leads to additional accurate details. This study concludes that there are key variables yet to be studied under controlled conditions and thus more research is required before comprehensive policy change is recommended. Future research is required with adolescent participants, children with multiple needs and interviews about repeated events.

The growing range and complexity of community care services requires robust approaches to ensuring quality. Method: This review collated studies on the use of standards in regulating community health and social care using Social Care Online, Medline and CINAHL databases. Studies were appraised by two reviewers, and synthesised by study themes. Results: Sixteen studies were synthesised under three themes:• standards in quality assurance and quality improvement;• effectiveness of standards; and • design of regulatory standards. Standards facilitate providers in self-regulation, and enable regulators to support and monitor improvement. Effectiveness of standards depends on their language and interpretation, and on organisational factors. There was little evidence of scales within quality standards. Discussion: There is continuing debate about self-regulation versus external regulation. Social care service regulation requires more research. Conclusion: Regulatory organisations should take note of wider initiatives towards evidence-based practice in the design of quality standards.

“…These studies are complemented by a smaller but enlightening body of qualitative enquiry which has explored perspectives on barriers, facilitators and component processes of change with IPV perpetrators. The perpetrators' perspective on these has attracted significant interest among completion of a related systematic literature search (McGinn, Taylor, McColgan, & McQuilkan, 2014).…”

More effective work with perpetrators of intimate partner violence (IPV) can be built upon a better understanding of how and why they change their behavior. This article presents a systematic narrative review of female IPV survivor perspectives on the changes brought about by IPV perpetrator programs. Fourteen databases and web search engines were searched and 16 articles reporting relevant qualitative findings were identified. Survivors often reported some level of positive change through their partner's engagement with a program, but the sustainability of this change is unclear and there was also some negative feedback. From the survivors' perspective, key barriers to perpetrator change include alcohol dependency, mental health challenges, relationship dynamics, and their family of origin. Mechanisms by which perpetrators are held to account, namely, survivor validation and judicial measures, were seen as central to the change process. Survivors perceived changes in perpetrator behavior (the use of conflict interruption techniques and new communication skills) and changes in perpetrators' belief systems (adopting new perspectives). Changes in belief systems were associated with more complete desistence from violence and would appear more difficult to effect. The review highlights the complexity in this field, which is discussed by the authors with reference to practice, policy, and research.
