Abstract | Objective: The purpose of this research was to (a) find if there were associations between child welfare outcomes and the client-worker relationship and (b) learn what are the predictors of a positive client-worker relationship. Method: 100 (55 Family Maintenance [FM] and 45 Family Preservation [FP]) clients were interviewed in English and Spanish. Pearson's r, t tests, chi-squares, and a regression analysis were conducted. Results: A majority of the participants were Latino single mothers. Higher scores on the Relationship with Worker Instrument were correlated with better outcomes in discipline and emotional care of children (p less than 0.01). FP clients were more satisfied with their workers than routine FM participants (p less than 0.01). Ability to openly communicate (p less than 0.001), frequency of visits (p less than 0.05), and receipt of public assistance (p less than 0.05) were found to be predictors of good client-worker relationships. Conclusions: This assessment indicates that client-worker relationships and open communication matter. (Contains 6 tables.) (As Provided). |
