Subjective Outcome Evaluation of a Positive Youth Development Program in Macau

背景：「共創成長路」計劃（P.A.T.H.S.）是一項由香港研究小組開發且經過詳細測試的華人青少年全人成長計創，此計畫經由澳門研究小組修改後於當地使用。計劃的目的是幫助在學的青少年向正前的方向發展並為未來作準備。目的：研究的目的是瞭解兩所試驗學校的初中一學生於「共創成長路」計劃完成後的成效。方法：採間評鑑法並以主觀成效評估問卷作研究工具。於計劃完成後，參與者被邀請填寫主觀成效評估表。結果：研究共收回242位初中一學生的評估表，結果顯示大部份學生對此計劃和計劃的導師都有正向的看法，超過三份二的參與學生認為計劃對他們是有利的。而在質性資料中顯示學生在此計劃中認為學到最重要的才能是增加個人、人際間、家庭及社會水平上的能力。結論；基於主觀成效評價的結果，此研究的正面成效為第一階段的「共創成長路」計劃提供支持作用。鑑於澳門缺乏青少年研究，此研究能為青少年工作提供實證為本的依據以及為初中二階段的評價提供原始數據。另外，計劃亦可以與其它國際性的華人青少年成長計劃作比較。至於與臨床實踐的相關性方面，此研究證明了護士亦能於社區推廣青少年全人健康發展，並擔任主動的角色。同時亦鼓勵護士主動參與社區健康的項目，尤其是駐校護士可以利用相關的青年計劃推廣青少年健康。

Background: Project ”Positive Adolescent Training through Holistic Social Programs” (P.A.T.H.S) is a well tested comprehensive Chinese positive youth development program which was developed in Hong Kong. It has been modified and adapted for use in Macau. This program aims to help adolescent school children develop positively in preparation for their future. Purpose: This study investigated the effectiveness of an adolescent development program (P.A.T.H.S) for Secondary I students from two pilot schools in Macau. Method: The study adopted an evaluation approach using an outcome evaluation questionnaire. After the program was completed, the participants were invited to respond to a subjective outcome evaluation questionnaire. Results: Findings from 242 Secondary 1 students showed that a high proportion of respondents had positive perceptions of the program and the program instructors, more than two-thirds regarded the program as beneficial. Four themes including the enhancement of personal, interpersonal, familial and societal level of competence emerged from the qualitative data of the perception of the most important thing learned from the program. Conclusion: Based on the overall subjective evaluation findings, this study provides support for the positive effects of Tier I of the P.A.T.H.S program. In view of the paucity of youth studies in Macau, the present study can contribute to evidence-based youth work and provide further ground data for the program to be evaluated in the Secondary 2 periods in the future. Additionally, it can be used as the basis for international comparison with Chinese adolescent youth development program. Regarding the relevance to clinical practice, the study demonstrates the active role nurses can play in the promotion of adolescent holistic health in the community. It encourages nurses to take more active part in community health project especially school nurses who could use relevant youth development program to promote adolescent health.
