Abstract Social workers must have the requisite new media literacies to engage in social work practice in the modern digital age and increase their digital competence. This article demonstrates how students can obtain the necessary digital competencies for their future social work practice through an enhanced participatory learning environment based on 12 specific new media literacies situated in a master’s level macro social work practice course. A description of the learning assignments and participatory activities is provided along with results from a mixed-methods evaluation of the student’s experiences. Findings indicate statistically significant results in increasing new media literacies among students and that participatory learning activities enhanced student knowledge and skills. Discussion and implications related to new media literacies and the future of social work education are also provided.

Abstract Online social networking sites are ubiquitous and prevalently used by young people. The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the potential for such sites to bring isolated people together to support their mental health. Virtual communications, however, are not without risks. Substantial knowledge exists on attendant risks and protections among the general population, but much less seems known about their effects among clinical populations. This scoping review mapped the novel knowledge and knowledge gaps related to online social networking experiences and perceptions of depressed young people, adolescents to emergent adults. It also explored moderators of their social networking supports versus harms. A broad search of published and gray research literature between 2010 and 2021 found seven intensive interview studies, three surveys and a brief prospective cohort. Their aggregate sample of 915 clinically depressed young people was most typically, outpatient adolescents in the USA. They also prevalently used online social networks, but their perceptions seemed more positive than those of their peers without a diagnosis of depression. In fact, their positive perceptions (60%; e.g., ease of access and communication with providers, support from positive peers) were nearly two-fold greater than their negative perceptions. (36%; e.g., self-denigrating comparisons with “friends,” cyberbullies). Tentatively suggested moderators of risks versus protections were found at the intersection of gender, ethnicity and socioeconomic status. However, given this relatively new field’s limits, these are probably best thought of as screened hypotheses for future full systematic review development and primary research testing. Clinical implications are discussed.

Abstract This article presents results from an evaluation of learning outcomes in a social work skills class between online and in-person students. Students were compared on background and academic factors, including grade point average prior to graduate school, time since completion of undergraduate education, undergraduate degree, and previous work and training in social services. Students also completed a skills self-assessment at the beginning of the class and upon completion. Data used to measure learning outcomes included total points earned and grades. Data were also collected from instructors’ field notes and observations. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and bivariate analyses, including one way and repeated measure ANOVA. Online students perceived they entered the class with more skills but no differences existed at the post-assessment. Minimal differences existed in students’ scores on major assignments except the bio-psycho-social assessment; in-person students scored higher. Instructors identified rapport building online as challenging. Results suggest parity of online and in-person learning. It is important to continue researching which students do best in--online and in-person coursework--in order to assist students in making the best choices for their learning preferences.

Abstract Despite the lively discussion on the pros and cons of using robots in health care, little is still known about how caregivers are affected when robots are introduced in their work environment. The present scoping review fills this research gap by mapping previous studies about the relation between robots in care and caregivers’ working life. The paper is based on searches in four databases for peer-reviewed articles about robots in care settings, published 2000 to 2020. The 27 included papers were examined with the questions of 1) how robots are used by caregivers, and 2) how robots affect caregivers’ work environment. The analysis shows that the use of robots can affect both the physical and the psychosocial work environment, in positive as well as in negative ways. Robots are used in care settings to reduce physical and mental demands of the caregivers, but they can, in fact, increase caregivers’ workload. Thus, the review indicates that robots can improve the quality of work, but that they seldom work as a shortcut to increased efficiency or time effectiveness.

Abstract User-led approaches are increasingly common in the field of social services and call for significant change in social service culture and practices. This research1 aims to study the implementation process of a new technology tool, Baromètre, as a socio-technical tool contributing to a culture shift in social services. We used a qualitative approach and a multiple case method in four implementation practice settings. We carried out individual interviews and focus group interviews with services users and professionals from which we reconstructed case histories. Using the convention theory and logics of action, we identified three types of social compromises that influence conditions of implementation: the inflexion compromise, the scheduling compromise, and the libertarian compromise. The results show us that the use of technology is relevant but cannot be the only vector of change in social work practices.

Abstract The objective of this study was to examine end-user opinions on electronic health record (EHR) modifications related to social work documentation of psychosocial acuity and provision of social care. Content analysis was used to examine end-user opinions (n = 42; 20% of a social work department employed in a large, urban, pediatric hospital) about whether or not to integrate a metric of psychosocial acuity into the EHR and required documentation practices. Most (79%) participants were in favor of EHR integration. Content analysis revealed nine themes in favor and five against integration, with most pertaining to clinical care, the organizational context, process, and purpose. Given that health care providers may find EHR changes to be disruptive to workflow and an imposition to day-to-day activities, engaging end-users in decision-making processes surrounding forthcoming EHR changes may not only increase investment in them, but also prevent provider burnout.

Abstract This article reports a study examining the impact of an internet-based meditation program (IMP) on socio-cultural adaptation, coping and quality of life of South Asian older widows emigrating in later life to live with their adult children in the USA. Compared to the online informative games program (OIGP), results indicated that the IMP group exhibited greater adjustment (Cohen’s d range = 0.55 − 0.87; p ≤.01). Older widows with higher formal education, of Hindu and Buddhist religion, financially independent, having other kith-kin in the destination country, in fair health, who moved in with their daughters and to live with their adult children who stayed alone or only with partner, reported higher scores on intended outcomes. Immigrant adult child’s gender and family configuration were stronger predictors and IMP lessons attended and self-practice mediated the relationship between significant socio-demographics and outcomes. IMP is an effective intervention for older widows immigrating in late life to new family arrangements.
本文报道了一项研究,探讨了基于互联网的冥想计划(IMP)对南亚老年寡妇在晚年移民到美国与成年子女一起生活的社会文化适应、应对和生活质量的影响。与在线信息游戏项目(OIGP)相比,结果表明IMP组表现出更大的调整(Cohen’s d range = 0.55 ~ 0.87;p≤. 01)。接受过高等正规教育、信奉印度教和佛教、经济独立、在目的地国有其他亲属、健康状况良好、与女儿同住并与独自或只与伴侣住在一起的成年子女同住的年长寡妇在预期结果方面报告得分较高。成年移民子女的性别和家庭结构是较强的预测因子,参加IMP课程和自我实践介导了显著的社会人口统计学与结果之间的关系。对老年寡妇移民到新的家庭安排而言,IMP是一项有效的干预措施。

Abstract Research has documented the efficacy of clinical applications that leverage Virtual Reality (VR) for assessment and treatment purposes across a wide range of domains, including pain, phobias, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). As the field of Clinical VR matures, it is important to review its origins and examine how these initial explorations have progressed, what gaps remain, and what opportunities the community can pursue. We do this by reflecting on our personal scientific journey against the backdrop of the field in general. In particular, this paper discusses how a clinical research program that was initially designed to deliver trauma-focused VR exposure therapy (VRET) for combat-related PTSD has been evolved to expand its impact and address a wider range of trauma sources. Such trauma sources include sexual trauma and the needs of first responders and healthcare professionals serving on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic. We provide an overview of the field and its general trends, discuss the genesis of our research agenda and its current status, and summarize upcoming opportunities, together with common challenges and lessons learned.

Abstract This article explores the experiences of older adults attending digital literacy training sessions offered by the public library system in one city in Ontario. Semi-structured interviews with 12 older adults (age 60+) demonstrated the significance of societal and internalized ageism in shaping the experiences of participants, as well as the construction of the training as a “safe space” for experimentation. Implications for participants and future public library digital literacy training sessions are discussed, with particular attention to asset-based approaches, the need for skill development, and addressing the effects of ageism on participants. Supplemental data for this article is available online at https://doi.org/10.1080/15228835.2021.1962477 .
