This research examines how Indigenous families report experiences of love (a component of family resilience) and its association with urgent health disparity of alcohol abuse. This exploratory mixed-methods first identified emergent results from qualitative data (n=436), which was then explored with follow-up and quantitative data (n =127) from a sample of Indigenous families in two Southeastern tribes. Love was a highly salient qualitative theme and component of family resilience. Quantitative results revealed cross-generational changes in family resilience, which was negatively associated with alcohol use. Current families may be transcending the effects of historical oppression and expressing love and family resilience.

ABSTRACT The present study aims to investigate the effects of diabetes diagnosis and mastery on the frequency of light, moderate and vigorous physical activity, and to examine whether mastery moderates the relationships. Data from the National Survey of American Life (N = 766) were analyzed using ordered logistic regressions. Findings suggest that diagnosed diabetes is associated with lower frequency of light and moderate activity. Additionally, the interaction effects between mastery and diabetes diagnosis were found for the frequency of light activity. Overall, social workers could continue the efforts to enhance mastery in diabetes education among older African Americans.

ABSTRACT The application of social categories in intersectionality intimate partner violence (IPV) scholarship is common in comparative analyses of social groups. Yet, consideration of the methods applied in research that uses social categories as a means to understand diverse individuals has not been given. Since an array of factors, and their interplay, influence the experiences of IPV among diverse individuals, research methods that attend to the intersecting oppressions that social groups face and reflect their lived experiences are critical. This article provides direction to better incorporate the tenets of intersectionality to advance research, and in turn, improve service delivery.

ABSTRACT This exploratory study examines how social work practitioners in England integrate service users’ religion, belief and spiritual identities. The study involved 34 semi-structured interviews with Qualified Social Workers and took a qualitative investigational perspective. By means of thematic analysis, the study suggests that practitioners employ either avoidant or utilitarian approaches, which may indeed be a coping strategy before the vast religious plurality in practice. The study also highlights when professionals perceive religion, belief and spirituality important. Those times are a) initial assessments, b) conditional intervention, c) referrals and d) response to this subject when safeguarding and child protection issues arise.

ABSTRACT The Council of Social Work Education (CSWE) and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) mandate that social workers engage diversity and difference to practice cultural competence. Because the social work profession serves a diverse population that includes humanity’s extensive list of intersecting backgrounds and identities, the very essence of cultural competence comprises fundamental complications in its overall conceptualization, construct, and application of theory to practice. The purpose of this study explored the challenges newly employed social workers faced in practicing cultural competence relative to their experiences as novice professionals. The sample included 20 participants who recently graduated from accredited CSWE MSW programs and were newly employed in the field of social welfare. Through qualitative research methods, data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews and one focus group. The findings emphasized the multifaceted nature of cultural competence and highlighted (a) areas for growth in feelings of inadequacy, (b) frustration with fundamental organizational barriers, and (c) prejudice from clients.

ABSTRACT Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) 2015 add new research requirements focusing on multiple ways of knowing and culturally informed approaches to knowledge building. These new requirements link to indigenous ways of knowing that orient the worldviews of many non-Western cultures. This article identifies key issues that distinguish culturally informed approaches to knowledge building from Western approaches. It provides an overview of a range of indigenous and culturally informed research principles. Two reflective examples of why and how these culturally informed methods are important to high-quality research are also presented. The examples show how different ways of knowing add to understanding and may enhance research usefulness.

ABSTRACT While the research regarding Hmong-American women as first-generation college students (FGCS) has grown, it emphasizes cultural and individual factors, neglecting institutional and systemic factors that may mediate academic success. Using an ethnographic and phenomenological approach, interviews were conducted with six female Hmong-American FGCS to address the following question: What factors promote and impede success in higher education? Applying grounded theory data analysis method, four categories of themes emerged: complex culture clash, higher education institution experience, supports for success, and changing view of higher education. Future research is recommended regarding the interface and impact of specific aspects of education, as well as a needed focus on male students’ experiences.

ABSTRACT Social workers have an ethical duty to recognize and support each person’s spiritual identity and ameliorate diverse forms of religious bias. These ethnical mandates are increasingly salient in light of recent Federal Bureau of Investigation data indicating that Jews, Muslims, Christians, and other people of faith are frequent victims of hate crimes. These discriminatory actions do not occur in a vacuum, but are legitimized by widely disseminated, subtly detrimental messages—commonly referred to as microaggressions. To assist social workers in identifying and counteracting these negative messages, this article delineates seven types of spiritual microaggressions that are frequently encountered in societal discourse. It concludes by offering some suggestions to help create a society that upholds and defends each person’s spiritual integrity and well-being.

ABSTRACT Policy practice is central to social work and has particular potential for furthering social justice. This paper presents and analyzes data collected as part of an assessment of a project aimed at advancing policy practice skills of foundation year MSW students. Specifically, it aims to address the question: how do students incorporate social justice issues related to racial, ethnic, and poverty inequity within their understanding of policy practice? One hundred and sixty one students described their field-based policy practice project and how it related to social justice. Review of these reports identified several key themes. We provide further reflection on how to strengthen field-based policy practice activities and their linkage with social justice.

ABSTRACT As a form of racism that is both subtle and ubiquitous, racial microaggressions (RMAs) can have cumulatively deleterious physical and emotional effects on people of a specific race or ethnicity. While a significant body of knowledge about RMAs has been developed from a Black-White perspective, this study was undertaken to explore extant empirical research that specifically addresses the physical and emotional effects of racism and RMAs on people who are Latinx-American. Through the implementation of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, we systematically searched multiple databases (PubMed, PsycInfo, Social Services Abstract, and CINAHL) to identify studies that specifically focused on Latinxs’ well-being in response to RMA. Following a systematic search and screening process, nine studies met all of the study’s inclusion criteria. Researchers reviewed studies for content, methods, effect sizes, and risk of bias. Strengths and shortcomings of the existing studies were identified, followed by suggestions for future research.
