ABSTRACTTraining students to approach practice situations professionally is crucial in social work education. Universities adopted different approaches in their curricula to equip students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills for social work’s demanding situations. However, there is little evidence on how social work students implement the knowledge acquired into practice. This study utilises the grounded theory methodology to conduct an in-depth analysis of social work students’ strategies throughout practice situations. Using simulation with a trained actress, we stipulated students´ engagement with a client during the initial stage of an assessment. 25 social work students from four different universities of social work in Germany participated. Our findings reveal the most challenging aspects for students: developing a working relationship with the client and processing professional problem-solving. With these results, we present a model representing students´ intervention strategies as a continuum varying between patterns of co- and mono-construction. The results highlight the importance of offering students opportunities to practice assessment and reflection about professional attitudes as a way to enhance professional competence.ABSTRAKTDie Förderung einer professionellen Herangehensweise in Praxissituationen ist ein wesentlicher Teil des Studiums der Sozialen Arbeit.

摘要在社会工作教育中，培养学生专业的实践能力是至关重要的。大学在课程中采用不同的方法，使学生具备理论知识和实践技能，以适应社会工作的需求。然而，很少有证据表明社会工作专业的学生如何将所学知识运用到实践中。本研究运用扎根理论的方法，深入分析社会工作学生在实践情境中的策略。通过与训练有素的女演员进行模拟，我们规定了学生在评估的初始阶段与客户的接触。来自德国四所不同社会工作大学的25名社会工作专业的学生参加了活动。我们的研究结果揭示了对学生来说最具挑战性的方面:与客户建立工作关系，处理专业问题。根据这些结果，我们提出了一个模型，将学生的干预策略作为一个连续体，在共同构建和单一构建模式之间变化。研究结果强调了为学生提供机会进行专业态度评估和反思的重要性，这是提高专业能力的一种方式。在Praxissituationen ABSTRAKTDie Forderung静脉professionellen Herangehensweise是静脉wesentlicher菩提树des Studiums der Sozialen劳动。课程umfassen verschiedenste Ansätze, um Studierenden theoretieswissen and praktische Fähigkeiten fendanspruchvollen情境der Sozialen Arbeit zu vermitteln。比斯兰存在着相对的文献文献文献(文献文献)，文献文献(文献文献)，文献文献(文献文献)，文献文献(文献文献)，文献文献(文献文献)tatsächlich。基于实证理论的研究基础与方法，基于实证理论的研究基础与方法，基于实证理论的研究基础与方法，基于实证理论的研究基础与方法，基于实证理论的研究与实践情境的研究与实践情境的分析。同时，我们还将学习、培训、培训和专业知识结合起来。[25]社会科学研究与社会科学研究与社会科学研究。1 .在研究过程中，研究人员在研究过程中发现了许多问题，例如:在研究过程中发现了许多问题;在研究过程中发现了许多问题;在研究过程中发现了许多问题。研究与发展的关系:研究与发展的关系:研究与发展的关系:研究与发展的关系:研究与发展的关系:研究与发展的关系:建设与发展的关系。unserere forschungsergebisse verdeutlichen die not endigkeit Studierenden praktische Übungsfelder zu ermöglichen, in welchen eine Problemerfassung- und Bearbeitung systematisch genitle und reflektiert werden kann, um so ihre professionelle Kompetenz zu unterst tzen。关键词:专业实践社会工作教育以模拟为基础的学习基础理论方法schlagworte: Professionelles HandelnAusbildung in der Sozialen arbebeilationsbasiertes lenntersgrounded theory methodology披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。本研究由巴伐利亚精英网络资助[K-GS-2012-209]。carolyn Auner，社会工作文凭，认证教练(DGSv)和慕尼黑天主教应用科学大学以及肯普滕应用科学大学的社会工作讲师。她是德国慕尼黑Leopoldstrasse 13, 80802，慕尼黑学习科学中心(MCLS)，国际博士学院REASON, Ludwig-Maximillians-Universität (LMU)心理学系的博士研究生和研究员。Birgit Dorner，德国慕尼黑天主教应用科学大学(KSH)社会工作系艺术教育全职教授，地址:Preysingstrasse 95,81667 m nchen。Sabine Pankofer是德国慕尼黑天主教应用科学大学(KSH)社会工作系心理学全职教授，位于Preysingstrasse 95,81667 m nchen。

This article explores subjective realities of being not in employment, education or training (NEET), with a specific focus on support needs and how labour market support fits these needs. A total of 23 semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants aged 18–29 who had just been recruited to a work support program aimed at increasing the availability, coordination, and individualisation of support in order to enhance the possibility of finding work. The results illustrate a clear yet fragile motivation to work among the respondents. The participants expressed optimism that they would find a job, but were also clear about the need for adaptations in the workplace to succeed. Through the lens of crip time, the participants expressed a need for flexibility and extra time to perform tasks such as finding a job and feeling comfortable in the workplace, compared to the needs of abled people. Rules and time limits at the Public Employment Service and the Social Insurance Agency reinforced the image of this normative time, making the participants express their needs as a deviation from what is considered normal.

Interpersonal process recall (IPR) is a qualitative research method employing video-assisted interviews, originating from training in psychotherapy skills. This method strongly emphasises recall and reflexivity, aiming to explore the interaction experience, primarily between clients and caregivers. It is used to study professions emphasising reflexive practice, such as psychotherapy and counselling but has been absent from research on social work professions. This article explores the experiences and reflections of five social workers and five social educators who participated in research applying a combination of IPR and focus group methods. Overall, the findings suggest that the participants, possessing critical and reflective practice skills, found their involvement advantageous. Their capacity for reflection and reflexivity not only benefited the participants themselves but also facilitated the researchers in gaining new insights into professional experiences in professional and service user interaction.

News and media reports on social work have had policy and legislative consequences for social work practice in Sweden. Generally, it is often argued that media reports have negative implications for public perception and public trust towards social services. However, empirical studies supporting such claims are rare. Going back to the classic theory of cultivation regarding media effects, this study investigates possible associations between news media use, public trust in news, and public trust towards social services in Sweden. Analyses are based on survey data from a representative sample of Swedish adults and young adults (n = 1 697) and linear regressions have been applied. In contrast to assumptions in the existing literature, no associations were identified between the level of news use, preferred news outlet and public trust towards the social services, whereas trust in news predicted trust in social services. The findings challenge dominating notions on the implications of news media use and public trust in social services. In short, news reports of the social services do not simply translate into public (dis)trust. This also enable, linear regressions has been applied. In contrast to assumptions in existing literature, no associations.

ABSTRACTSocial workers working with vulnerable children reproduce their ‘traditional dilemma’ between control and reflexive approach. This dilemma is particularly relevant in the context of contemporary, neoliberal-oriented society. At the same time, the situation is accentuated by the fact that more than half of the clients are often perceived by the support workers as ‘unmotivated’. The presented article aims to present a way how social workers working with vulnerable children deal with the dilemma of using control and reflexive approaches by constructing the client's (un)motivation. On the basis of qualitative research carried out using semi-structured interviews, narratives implicitly associated with the unmotivated client and their influence on the nature of the social workers’ interventions were revealed. Based on the data analysis, a recommendation was made to strengthen the use of reflexive approaches in social work.ABSTRAKTSociální pracovníci pracující s ohroženými dětmi reprodukují své ‘tradiční dilema’ mezi jednostranností (kontrola) a symetrií (reflexivní přístup).

ABSTRACTWhereas population ageing has been a much debated issue over the last decades, the political and scientific awareness of the longevity of adults with intellectual disabilities is considered relatively new. When the situations of older people with intellectual disabilities are coming into focus, attention has especially been drawn to medical aspects or to expected challenges of their ageing for health and social service providers. In that vein, a prominent yet rather wicked issue has been the question whether either disability care or elderly care services are the right place to meet their needs. This article discusses findings of a qualitative research study that aimed to reconstruct and investigate 10 care trajectories of ageing people with intellectual disabilities. Based on open interviews with the individuals themselves and with significant others from their formal and informal networks, we identified mechanisms in society that allow or deny older people with intellectual disabilities access to certain care settings or welfare provision. Moreover, we discovered concerns, interests and aspirations that are often left unseen. This shows the necessity to go beyond the debate of ‘ageing in (or out of) place’, and challenges us to create opportunities and strategies to create ‘a space to be(long)’.ABSTRACTTerwijl de vergrijzing van de algemene bevolking de afgelopen decennia een gekend onderwerp is van maatschappelijk debat, is het politieke en wetenschappelijke bewustzijn van de stijgende levensverwachting van volwassenen met verstandelijke beperkingen relatief nieuw. Wanneer de situatie van oudere personen met verstandelijke beperkingen onder de aandacht komt, wordt de focus vooral gelegd op medische aspecten of op verwachte uitdagingen van hun veroudering voor de gezondheidszorg en sociale dienstverlening. Een prominente, maar complexe kwestie in deze context is de vraag of eerder de ouderenzorg ofwel de gehandicaptenzorg het best geschikt is om aan hun behoeften te voldoen. Dit artikel bespreekt de bevindingen van een kwalitatief onderzoek waarin de zorgtrajecten van 10 ouder wordende personen met verstandelijke beperkingen gereconstrueerd en onderzocht werden. Op basis van open interviews met de betrokkenen zelf en met relevante actoren uit hun formele en informele netwerk, identificeerden we mechanismen in de samenleving die ouderen met verstandelijke beperkingen toegang geven of ontzeggen tot bepaalde zorginstellingen of welzijnsvoorzieningen.

摘要在过去的几十年里，人口老龄化一直是一个备受争议的问题，而政治和科学对智力残疾成年人长寿的认识相对较新。当有智力残疾的老年人的情况成为焦点时，人们特别注意医疗方面的问题，或他们的老龄化对保健和社会服务提供者的预期挑战。在这种情况下，一个突出但相当邪恶的问题是，残疾人护理服务或老年人护理服务是否适合满足他们的需求。本文讨论了一项质性研究的结果，旨在重建和调查老年智障人士的10个护理轨迹。基于对这些老年人本人以及他们正式和非正式网络中的重要人物的公开访谈，我们确定了允许或拒绝智障老年人获得某些护理设施或福利的社会机制。此外，我们还发现了经常被忽视的关切、兴趣和愿望。这表明有必要超越“老龄化在(或不在)地方”的争论，并挑战我们创造机会和策略来创造“一个(长)空间”。摘要/ abstract摘要:从历史的角度看，在历史的角度看，在历史的角度看，历史的角度看，在历史的角度看，历史的角度看，历史的角度看，历史的角度看，历史的角度看，历史的角度看，历史的角度看，历史的角度看，历史的角度看，历史的角度看，历史的角度看，历史的角度看，历史的角度看，历史的角度。无论在何种情况下，人们都会遇到各种各样的问题，例如，人们会遇到各种各样的问题，例如，人们会遇到各种各样的问题，例如，人们会遇到各种各样的问题，例如，人们会遇到各种各样的问题，例如，人们会遇到各种各样的问题。更重要的是，在复杂的语境中，许多复杂的问题都是对复杂语境的曲解，而最好的曲解是对复杂语境的曲解。这篇文章描述了在10个更大的世界里，人们遇到了更大的人，就像在10个更大的世界里，人们遇到了更大的人，就像在10个更大的世界里遇到了更大的人。在公开访谈的基础上，研究了参与者之间的相互作用、参与者之间的相互作用、参与者之间的相互作用、参与者之间的相互作用、参与者之间的相互作用、参与者之间的相互作用、参与者之间的相互作用、参与者之间的相互作用、参与者之间的相互作用等。当我们成为商人时，兴趣和抱负就会显露在信仰上。这是一场争论，争论的焦点是:是否要让我们的星球变得更美丽，是否要让我们的星球变得更美丽，是否要让我们的星球变得更美丽，是否要让我们的星球变得更美丽，是否要让我们的星球变得更美丽。关键词:生活质量;智力残疾;老年;老年安置;关键词:生活质量;智力残疾;关键词:生活质量;智力残疾;关键词:健康;注1最近的政策计划侧重于引入一种调整后的衡量工具(BelRAI)，该工具应允许对一个人的身体、认知、心理和社会护理和支持需求进行更全面的评估(Beke, Citation2019，第21页- 2019-2024年福利、公共卫生、家庭和减贫政策说明)。作者简介:steineke Schiettecat是根特大学社会工作与社会教育学系的博士后研究员。她也是社会教育关怀工作系的讲师，并作为研究员隶属于平等研究集体和生态城(霍根应用科学与艺术大学)。她的研究兴趣涉及与贫困、残疾和年龄问题有关的社会工作和福利权利的定性研究。Jorrit Campens获得护理和助产学硕士学位，并于2015年开始在霍根特应用科学与艺术大学(HOGENT University of Applied Sciences and Arts)担任护理学士课程的讲师，同时也是一名专注于研究智障老年人和学生对老年人态度的研究员。自2020年以来，Jorrit还在布鲁塞尔自由大学(Vrije Universiteit brussels)担任博士生，为数字老龄化项目做出贡献。他的工作集中在老年人中互联网(非)用户的类型学发展。Griet RoetsProf。格里耶特·罗茨博士是根特大学社会工作与社会教育学系教授。她的工作重点是社会工作、公民身份和社会权利、贫困、残疾、性别和年龄的交叉点，以及社会服务和社会工作者对更广泛的社会发展进行或批判性反思和质疑的方式。
{"title":"Care and support for older people with intellectual disabilities beyond the pursuit of ageing ‘in place’: towards constructing a space to be(long)","authors":"Tineke Schiettecat, Jorrit Campens, Griet Roets, Nico De Witte, Joan Lesseliers, Ilse Goethals","doi":"10.1080/13691457.2023.2257004","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13691457.2023.2257004","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTWhereas population ageing has been a much debated issue over the last decades, the political and scientific awareness of the longevity of adults with intellectual disabilities is considered relatively new. When the situations of older people with intellectual disabilities are coming into focus, attention has especially been drawn to medical aspects or to expected challenges of their ageing for health and social service providers. In that vein, a prominent yet rather wicked issue has been the question whether either disability care or elderly care services are the right place to meet their needs. This article discusses findings of a qualitative research study that aimed to reconstruct and investigate 10 care trajectories of ageing people with intellectual disabilities. Based on open interviews with the individuals themselves and with significant others from their formal and informal networks, we identified mechanisms in society that allow or deny older people with intellectual disabilities access to certain care settings or welfare provision. Moreover, we discovered concerns, interests and aspirations that are often left unseen. This shows the necessity to go beyond the debate of ‘ageing in (or out of) place’, and challenges us to create opportunities and strategies to create ‘a space to be(long)’.ABSTRACTTerwijl de vergrijzing van de algemene bevolking de afgelopen decennia een gekend onderwerp is van maatschappelijk debat, is het politieke en wetenschappelijke bewustzijn van de stijgende levensverwachting van volwassenen met verstandelijke beperkingen relatief nieuw. Wanneer de situatie van oudere personen met verstandelijke beperkingen onder de aandacht komt, wordt de focus vooral gelegd op medische aspecten of op verwachte uitdagingen van hun veroudering voor de gezondheidszorg en sociale dienstverlening. Een prominente, maar complexe kwestie in deze context is de vraag of eerder de ouderenzorg ofwel de gehandicaptenzorg het best geschikt is om aan hun behoeften te voldoen. Dit artikel bespreekt de bevindingen van een kwalitatief onderzoek waarin de zorgtrajecten van 10 ouder wordende personen met verstandelijke beperkingen gereconstrueerd en onderzocht werden. Op basis van open interviews met de betrokkenen zelf en met relevante actoren uit hun formele en informele netwerk, identificeerden we mechanismen in de samenleving die ouderen met verstandelijke beperkingen toegang geven of ontzeggen tot bepaalde zorginstellingen of welzijnsvoorzieningen. Bovendien ontdekten we bekommernissen, interesses en aspiraties die veelal onbelicht blijven. Dit toont de noodzaak om voorbij te gaan aan het debat over toegang krijgen tot een bestaande plaats, en daagt ons uit om op zoek te gaan naar mogelijkheden en strategieën om een plaats te creëren om te bestaan, ook op oudere leeftijd.KEYWORDS: Quality of lifebelongingintellectual disabilitieselderlyageing in placeTREFWOORDEN: kwaliteit van levenerbij horenverstandelijke beperkingouderenter plaatse ou","PeriodicalId":12060,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Work","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135590815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article investigates norms of parenting in the context of the Norwegian child welfare service (CWS). Research from both international and Norwegian contexts shows that current parenting ideals are built on middle-class values that are often taken for granted. However, there is limited knowledge about the interaction between the CWS and middle-class families. Through narrative positioning analysis, we explore how child welfare workers (CWWs) construct the identities of two middle-class families in contact with the service and how the CWWs’ ideals about parenting are expressed through these stories. Both families are positioned as well-off, and the CWWs provide classed and gendered descriptions of the parents that coincide with dominant narratives of intensive mothering. As clients, the parents are constructed as active adaptive agents and active expert agents. The CWWs relationally construct themselves as a catalyst for change and as a support. The analysis provides insight into how the middle-class ideal is almost unnoticeably being solidified as a standard, and we metaphorically see the interaction between the parents and the CWS as ‘status maintenance ceremonies’. We argue that a narrative positioning analytical framework can be further developed and used to increase reflection on social work practice and education.

ABSTRACTThis article uses the Ubuntu paradigms to reflect on the ways in which community-level values and frameworks can be recognised, strengthened and used to promote children’s welfare. We present a literature review and documented practical examples from African Ubuntu communities in Global South that strongly emphasise the collectivist approach in their ways of life. With a further examination of the Ubuntu philosophy, we identify common values and patterns that can be instrumental in fostering child welfare. These are volunteerism, solidarity, vigilance, morality and hospitality. We underline these informal standards as not only crucial to social workers providing interventions for children that belong to families and communities that are interdependent in nature, but as well present an Ubuntu social work model that can be a benchmark for social work practice with children and families in multicultural communities in Global North. The result is the humanisation of child protection systems and the development and strengthening of informal community protection networks.KEYWORDS: Ubuntuchildrenwelfaresocial work Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsJoventine MulumbaJoventine Mulumba, Medical Social Worker, Kiruddu National referral Hospital: Kampala, UG.

摘要本文利用Ubuntu范式来思考如何认识、加强和使用社区层面的价值观和框架来促进儿童福利。我们提出了一篇文献综述，并记录了来自全球南部非洲乌班图社区的实际例子，这些社区强烈强调集体主义的生活方式。通过对Ubuntu哲学的进一步研究，我们确定了共同的价值观和模式，这些价值观和模式可以促进儿童福利。它们是志愿精神、团结、警惕、道德和热情好客。我们强调，这些非正式标准不仅对社会工作者为属于相互依存的家庭和社区的儿童提供干预至关重要，而且还提供了一个Ubuntu社会工作模式，可以作为全球北部多元文化社区儿童和家庭社会工作实践的基准。其结果是儿童保护系统的人性化以及非正式社区保护网络的发展和加强。关键词:ubuntu儿童福利社会工作披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。关于捐助者的说明joventine Mulumba joventine Mulumba，医务社会工作者，Kiruddu国家转诊医院:坎帕拉，UG。毕业于林肯大学(英国)、奥尔堡大学(丹麦)、里斯本大学ISCSP-University(葡萄牙)、巴黎Quest Nanterre La dsamfense大学(法国)和华沙大学(波兰)。Maria Irene Carvalho，社会工作者，社会工作学士，医学博士和博士。里斯本大学ISCSP副教授。葡萄牙里斯本大学公共行政和公共政策研究中心。

ABSTRACTIncreasingly complex practice contexts challenge social workers’ resilience, impacting workforce attraction and retention. This study comprised longitudinal and qualitative research to understand what influences professional resilience development, maintenance and integration. Purposive sampling resulted in the inclusion of 23 participants from eight Australian universities. Interviews occurred when the participants were students nearing the completion of a Master of Social Work (Qualifying) degree and again after approximately six months of post-qualifying practice. The results reveal social workers’ resilience develops over time through processing experiences that occur within contexts and shape professional identity. Supportive relationships are integral to this process, becoming protective resources during adversity. In universities and human service organisations, relationships with peers, teams, direct line managers, and supervisors are crucial for enabling insight and growth through critically reflecting on experiences and understanding their impact on professional identity formation and resilience. A disparity emerged between the expectation of available resources as a student and the reality as a newly qualified social worker. The relational nature of resilience has implications for educating social work students and preparing them for practice realities, organisations seeking to sustain a resilient workforce, and practitioners who navigate these complex contexts.KEYWORDS: Social work educationsocial work resilienceworkforce wellbeing Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsClarissa HitchcockClarissa Hitchcock is a Doctoral Candidate and Associate Lecturer in Social Work, Faculty of Health, Southern Cross University.
