Reflective Summary Of Qualitative Research

108 Words1 Page

The author used a qualitative interview survey to determine how practitioners defined social care, whether they practiced it, and what factors influenced their practice, and the information bases they used. Findings from the analysis identified that the personal domain had considerable influence on day-to-day practice, and five themes emerged describing the personal domain: ‘life experiences’, ‘beliefs and values’, ‘ideas and theories’, ‘personal relationships’, and ‘personal characteristics’. I feel this contribution is relevant to the topic because it opens space to explore personal domain challenges for social work practitioners and students, to critically reflect on how life experiences, beliefs/values, ideas/ theories and personal relationships,

  • Empowerment Theory In Social Work

    1508 Words  | 7 Pages

    Modern social workers are frequently tasked with certain objectives by their agencies, which leave little room for any work beyond specific treatments and timeframes (Gitterman & Knight, 2016). Although social workers are bound to the set of ethics put forth by the NASW, practitioners are often limited to focusing on the issues of the individual rather than the larger societal issues that may be behind those concerns. Additionally, many social work students end up working in direct practice, rather than macro work. There is a need for social workers to engage at the macro level in order to facilitate community organization and empowerment. Critics suggest this theory may not take into account the unique experiences of each individual and perhaps key characteristics of the individual or group are not taken into consideration (Sadan, 1997).

  • Single Theory In Social Work

    Howe (1987, p48) states, "The loud claim is that practice is saturated with theory no matter how much the social worker speaks of [their] simple reliance on commonsense or intuition. Each theory and its associated practice holds assumptions about people and their society .......". However, theory still remains our most valuable agent in facilitating acceptable if not positive outcomes. The nature of social work is in a constant state of flux and what was suitable or successful yesterday may not be today although past theories still have a valid place in our reckoning.

  • Evidence Based Practice In Social Work

    Healy (2014) demonstrates that social work is a negotiated activity because we have to balance between meeting organisational demands, dealing with immediate risks but also think about long term consequences of the decisions that we make, such as the attachment of the child to their family and sense of belonging. Social workers also need to understand and respond to the ‘person in their environment’ (Healy, 2014, p.13). This means their immediate environment, social institutions and policies are integral to understand the person’s context. However, we are increasingly detached from political dimensions of practice and have been placing more emphasis on the individual (Reisch and Jani, 2012). Healy (2014) claims that the contextual nature of

  • Person In-Environment Framework

    Introduction Person-in-Environment Framework In our practice as social workers, we are urged to view and understand human behavior as a set of complex interactions between individuals and their environment. This is known as the person-in-environment framework. This framework encourages us to acknowledge the influence of environment on our lives and provides a beneficial framework to think about and understand human behavior (Hutchinson, 2017). Understanding our work from this perspective allows us to approach our clients from a multi-dimensional stance, taking into consideration how various factors, including but not limited to, race, class, age and gender create individual identity and shapes an individual’s experience in the context of
