implementing evidence based Social Work practice
Research on Social Work Practice, 2008Co-Authors: Edward J Mullen, Sarah E Bledsoe, Jennifer L BellamyAbstract:Recently, Social Work has been influenced by new forms of practice that hold promise for bringing practice and research together to strengthen the scientific knowledge base supporting Social Work Intervention. The most recent new practice frameWork is evidence-based practice. However, although evidence-based practice has many qualities that might attract Social Workers to adopt it, use in practice is limited. Accordingly, attention is being given to determine effective strategies for the dissemination, adoption, and implementation of evidence-based practice. This article examines the implementation literature, describes alternative strategies for implementation of evidence-based practice in Social Work, describes an implementation study to illustrate concepts discussed, and specifies needed research.

Social Work and transitions of care observations from an Intervention for older adults
Journal of Gerontological Social Work, 2011Co-Authors: Vanessa Fabbre, Anne S Buffington, Susan J Altfeld, Gayle Shier, Robyn GoldenAbstract:Making the transition from hospital to home can be challenging for many older adults. This article presents practice perspectives on these transitions, based on a Social Work Intervention for older adults discharged from an acute care setting to home. An analysis of interviews with clinical Social Workers who managed 356 cases (n = 3) and a review of their clinical notes (n = 581) were used to identify salient themes relevant to care transitions. Concepts developed and discussed identify the role of surprises after discharge, an expanded view of the client system, and relationship building as instrumental in carrying out effective care transitions.

cost effectiveness analysis of a home based Social Work Intervention for children and adolescents who have deliberately poisoned themselves results of a randomised controlled trial
British Journal of Psychiatry, 1999Co-Authors: Sarah Byford, Richard Harrington, David J Torgerson, Michael Kerfoot, Elizabeth Dyer, Val Harrington, Adrine Woodham, Julia Gill, Faye McnivenAbstract:BACKGROUND Little evidence exists regarding the effectiveness or cost-effectiveness of alternative treatment services in the field of child and adolescent psychiatry. AIMS To assess the cost-effectiveness of a home-based Social Work Intervention for young people who have deliberately poisoned themselves. METHOD Children aged < or = 16 years, referred to child mental health teams with a diagnosis of deliberate self-poisoning were randomly allocated to either routine care (n = 77) or routine care plus the Social Work Intervention (n = 85). Clinical and resource-use data were assessed over six months from the date of trial entry. RESULTS No significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of the main outcome measures or costs. In a sub-group of children without major depression, suicidal ideation was significantly lower in the Intervention group at the six-month follow-up (P = 0.01), with no significant differences in cost. CONCLUSIONS A family-based Social Work Intervention for children and adolescents who have deliberately poisoned themselves is as cost-effective as routine care alone.

a Social constructivist frameWork for integrating cross cultural issues in teaching clinical Social Work
Journal of Social Work Education, 1999Co-Authors: Mo Yee Lee, Gilbert J GreeneAbstract:This article describes a teaching frameWork that combines culturally sensitive and culturally competent perspectives in preparing students for cross-cultural clinical Social Work. Both content and proven instructional methods are presented for the frameWork’s three components: (a) an overview of Social constructivism; (b) an exploration of culture and self, which encourages students to develop openness to cultural diversity; and (c) a Social constructivist approach to the help-seeking process of clients, which provides students with guidelines for exploring the culture-specific content of clients’ problem-solving efforts. This frameWork helps students to understand clients’ Social realities nonpresumptuously and to engage in respectful clinical Social Work Intervention.
