Résumé
La protection de l’enfance est l’un des secteurs de services qui se développent le plus rapidement au Canada. Cependant, nous en savons étonnamment peu sur l’efficacité des services offerts aux enfants maltraités et négligés. Cet article examine de nouveaux modèles de mobilisation des connaissances conçus pour soutenir l’utilisation plus systématique de la recherche dans les services sociaux. Nous commençons par discuter des limites des modèles traditionnels de diffusion des connaissances. Ensuite, nous considérons certaines des recherches qui ont été faites sur les obstacles et les facteurs facilitant l’utilisation de la recherche en santé, en éducation et dans les services sociaux. Enfin, nous présentons un modèle de mobilisation des connaissances qui est mis à l’essai et évalué dans un organisme de protection de l’enfance au Québec, décrivons les processus locaux utilisés pour affiner les six indicateurs de résultats (récurrence de la maltraitance, retards scolaires, taux de placement, déplacements d’une ressource à une autre, durée des soins et participation d’un tribunal) et concluons en présentant un exemple d’un des indicateurs retenus.

Abstract
Child protection is one of the fastest growing services sectors in Canada, yet we know surprisingly little about the effectiveness of services for abused and neglected children. This article examines emerging knowledge mobilization models designed to support the more systematic use of research in social services. We start by discussing the limits of traditional knowledge dissemination models. We then consider some of the research that has been done on the barriers and facilitators of research utilization in health, education and social services. Finally, we present a knowledge mobilization model that is being pilot tested and evaluated in a child welfare agency in Quebec and describe the local processes used to refine six outcome indicators (recurrence of maltreatment ; school delay ; placement rate ; moves in care ; time in care ; and court involvement) and conclude by presenting an example of one of the selected indicators.
Keywords:
- Child welfare,
- knowledge mobilization,
- evidence-based management,
- outcome indicators
Resumen
La protección de la infancia es uno de los sectores de servicios de más rápido desarrollo en Canadá. Sin embargo, es sorprendente lo poco que sabemos sobre la eficacia de los servicios que se ofrecen a los menores víctimas de maltrato o de negligencia. Este artículo examina nuevos modelos de movilización de conocimientos concebidos para apoyar un uso más sistemático de la investigación en los servicios sociales. Discutimos, primero, los límites de los modelos tradicionales de la difusión de conocimientos. A continuación, consideramos algunas investigaciones sobre los obstáculos y estímulos al uso de la investigación en los ámbitos de la salud, la educación y los servicios sociales. Finalmente, presentamos un modelo de movilización de conocimientos en etapa de práctica piloto y evaluación en una agencia de protección de la infancia en Quebec ; describimos los procesos locales utilizados para afinar seis indicadores de resultados (recurrencia del maltrato, retrasos escolares, tasa de colocación, desplazamiento de un recurso a otro, duración de cuidados y participación de un tribunal) y concluimos presentando un ejemplo de uno de los indicadores seleccionados.
