Abstract

Background: Psychiatric social workers typically play an important role in the treatment and management of psychosocial issues at different levels, such as individual, family, and community levels. However, despite the field having a long history, there are significantly fewer standardized guidelines for interventions in mental health settings.

Methodology: This study aims to develop guidelines for psychiatric social work interventions in mental health settings. Psychiatric social workers with a degree of M.Phil. in Psychiatric Social Work, 2 years of working experience, and working in mental health settings were selected for this study. Using purposive sampling, 15 psychiatric social workers were selected for this study and were interviewed using a semi-structured interview schedule. The data were analyzed using the qualitative method of content analysis.

Results: There is a high level of satisfaction rate among psychiatric social workers about their work and profession, however, they face challenges because of non-clarity of roles and responsibilities, lack of theories, and difficulties in implementing theories into practice. More training, discussion, supervision, and exposure to different cases help improve the interventions' quality.

Conclusion: Although psychiatric social work interventions are effective in addressing the treatment gap by providing curative, preventive, promotive, and rehabilitative services, there is no uniformity in the interventions, which in turn, explains the need for standardized guidelines for intervention. The study explains the guidelines for psychiatric social work interventions at the community, group, family, and individual levels.

优化精神科社会工作干预:为精神卫生机构制定指导方针。
背景:精神科社工通常在个人、家庭和社区等不同层面的社会心理问题的治疗和管理中发挥重要作用。然而,尽管这一领域有着悠久的历史,但在心理健康环境中进行干预的标准化指南却少得可怜:本研究旨在为精神健康环境中的精神科社会工作干预制定指南。本研究选取了拥有精神科社会工作硕士学位、2 年工作经验并在精神卫生机构工作的精神科社会工作者。通过有目的的抽样,本研究选取了 15 名精神科社工,并使用半结构化访谈表对他们进行了访谈。研究采用内容分析法对数据进行定性分析:结果:精神科社工对其工作和职业的满意度较高,但由于角色和职责不明确、缺乏理论以及难以将理论付诸实践,他们面临着挑战。更多的培训、讨论、督导和接触不同的案例有助于提高干预质量:尽管精神科社会工作干预措施通过提供治疗、预防、促进和康复服务有效地弥补了治疗差距,但干预措施并不统一,这反过来又说明了制定标准化干预指南的必要性。本研究解释了精神科社会工作在社区、小组、家庭和个人层面的干预指南。
