鉴于大量的需要和相对较低的获得有效的药物使用障碍治疗的缓刑的人，这是至关重要的，以了解组织和工作人员的态度，可能会阻碍或促进治疗的联系和愿意采取循证的做法。本研究使用的调查数据，从一个大的县缓刑部门，以评估工作人员的态度和看法，他们的组织的创新气候，物质使用障碍治疗的作用，支持循证治疗，和组织的障碍变化。缓刑工作人员对将治疗纳入缓刑监督持开放态度，表示支持康复模式，并同意如果需要或他们认为有吸引力，他们将采取创新措施。然而，他们对机构对创新和协作的支持程度表示了一些关切。态度和看法因工作人员的特点而异。扩大组织变革和采用基于证据的治疗实践缓刑的影响进行了讨论。
Given the substantial need for and relatively low access to effective substance use disorder treatment for people on probation, it is critical to understand organizational and staff attitudes that may hinder or facilitate treatment linkage and willingness to adopt evidence-based practices. This study used survey data from a large county probation department to assess staff members' attitudes and perceptions regarding their organization's climate for innovation, role of substance use disorder treatment, support for evidence-based treatment, and organizational barriers to change. Probation staff were open to incorporating treatment into probation supervision, expressed support for rehabilitation models, and agreed that they would adopt innovations if required or they found them to be appealing. However, they expressed some concerns about the level of agency support for innovation and collaboration. Attitudes and perceptions varied by staff characteristics. Implications for expanding organizational change and adoption of evidence-based treatment practices in probation are discussed.
