From complex needs to complex intervention – example of FamResPlan research project

The overall objective of the research project Specific characteristics of families at risk: contribution to complex interventions planning (FamResPlan) is to identify characteristics of specific groups of families at risk - their risk factors, readiness for change and intervention, and the life satisfaction of family members. As a set of new, understudied processes placed in the context of the family resilience concept, project findings could be of importance for complex interventions planning. The comprehensive FamResPlan study of families at risk is being conducted at the moment and the sample will consist of 200 families with various complex needs for intervention and support that have at least one member with serious behavioural problems. The aim of this presentation that has been fully supported by Croatian Science Foundation under the project IP-2014-09-9515, is to discuss the findings regarding the complex needs of families with at least one adult member diagnosed with an addiction disorder. In the presented study, complex needs are assessed by self-report from addiction clinic patients as well as by self- report from one of their family members. In addition, complex needs for intervention are assessed by a mental health professional from the addiction clinic. It is expected that the previously mentioned complex constructs will provide a deeper insight into the complex processes regarding intervention needs of families at risk. These insights can be used as a good foundation for developing complex interventions for this specific target group – families with one member diagnosed with an addiction disorder. As well, the results from this study should provide basic information for the development of research informed preventive interventions related to the concept of family resilience. The research data are still being collected at the time of writing this abstract, which is why the results will be presented at the conference.
