Abstract

This article presents the findings of a qualitative study in a Flemish centre for children and adolescents with emotional and behavioural disorders. The change in demand for care for this highly troubled population has created a need for intervention models that address students' socio-emotional needs. When preparing an organisation to implement such intervention models, it is critical to obtain a thorough needs assessment or pre-implementation evaluation of staff in the organisation. Fifty interviews with different staff members were performed, guided by three research questions: (1) How do staff perceive the children and youth cared for, including behaviour, needs and demands of these youths?; (2) How do staff attempt to translate this demand for care into treatment, and what obstacles could possibly stand in the way?; and (3) What are, according to staff, critical issues to take into account when implementing EBP, both on the individual and the organisational level? Using a grounded theory approach, the analysis resulted in a pre-implementation model. In the following article, this model will be discussed and illustrated with quotes from staff members.
