社工社会工作

社会工作08/2014什么是社会工作定义：社会工作（SocialWork），简称社工，是一门助人的专业，相对于医学关注在人类生理运作，心理学关注在个人心理现象，社会工作的焦点在于人类与环境的互动，目的在协助个人、家庭、团体、社区能适应所在的社会环境脉络，增强或恢复其社会功能的能量，及创造有利于达成目标的社会条件的一种专业活动，以预防或舒缓社会问题。社会工作是以利他主义为指导，以科学的知识为基础，运用科学的方法进行的助人服务的活动。社会工作是科学的助人服务活动，它不同于一般的行善活动。几个关键词帮你理解社工社工从业者特点：爱心、奉献、热情社工被服务者：弱势群体（老、幼、病、残、孕、贫）工作内容：为弱势群体提供专业化（与慈善的区别）社会服务，以提高他们的社会福利。最终目标：解决社会矛盾，促进社会和谐发展。社工机构：团委、妇联、居委会、街道办事处、工读学校、少管所、NGO等。主要关注领域ChildrenandYouth:青少年Improvingtreatmentandmedicationadherenceforyouthwithpsychiatricconditions青少年精神障碍防治Evidence-basedprogramsforpromotingthehealthygrowthanddevelopmentofchildrenwhoarevictimsofchildmaltreatment反虐待儿童措施Childplacementisdealtwithasaserviceoptionthroughfostercare,grouphomes,residentialcare,andadoption孤儿安置Aging:老人Thecost-effectivenessofsocialworkpracticeinimplementinghealthservicesforolderindividualswithchronicillness养老院系统Thepossibilityofself-careforchronichealthandmentalhealthconditionsinlatelife老年慢性病养护培训Elderlycaregiversupport老年护理支持Consumer-basedadvocacyforthefinancingoflong-termcare养老问题市场化Agingeducationandtraining人口老龄化教育与培训Elderlycareservicedeliverybyinterdisciplinaryhealthcareteams老年医护团队建设Healthdisparities：病人Implicationsofhealthdisparitiesforhealthcarepolicyandreform医疗资源分配体制改革Professionaltrainingforingracialandethnicminorityresearcherstoworkonimprovinghealthcaredeliverytodeprivedgroups少数民族医护条件升级Effectsofsocialenvironmentsonhealthdisparities造成医疗资料不均的社会因素调研Depression,AISDsanddiabetescare抑郁症、艾滋病、糖尿病宣传与科普DisabilityStudy：残疾人RoleofdisabilitystudyinsocialworkeducationEvidence-basedstrategiesforhandlingissuesofdisabilityintheworkplace工伤处理与权益维护Quality-of-lifemeasuresforindividualswithdisabilitiesandtheirfamilies残疾人及家庭生活质量改善Domesticviolence：女性Impactonimmigrantwomen外来女性家庭暴力解决Impactonhigh-riskHIV/AIDSwomen女性艾滋病防护Disasterpreparednessandresponse：受灾人群Socialworkprogramsforfirstrespondersduringdisasterorcrisis自然灾害紧急救援Familypolicyandpractice：特殊家庭Familypsychoeducationfortheseriouslymentallyill精神病患者家庭教育FamilieslivingwithandaffectedbyHIV/AIDS艾滋病家庭教育Theconceptofresponsiblefatherhoodinefamilies,withafocusonchildsupportandworkforcedevelopmentpolicies贫困家庭中父亲角色的概念灌输Suicideprevention：自杀人群Developingnewinterventionsaimedatreducingsuiciderisk针对自杀倾向人群的干涉Urbanpoverty：贫困人群Improvingthetoolsformeasuringpoverty价值观导向Single-parentfamiliesandthewelfarestate单亲家庭福利Foodstampsandobesity贫困家庭饮食研究社工的总结1.社工服务的对象都是弱势群体，随着社会福利体系逐步的完善，国家对社工专业人才的需求量将会暴增，但同时社工也并不是个有“钱”途的专业，因为社工人才就职的机构多为非营利性的组织。学习该专业的学生比起天赋和能力，更重要的是dedication。2.社工也有两个大领域，一方面是研究社会福利相关政策的，另一类是研究具体的clinical方法的。两种类型需要自己根据兴趣来选择。3.就业面很广，各领域的社会工作者都有。比如在康复中心做康复顾问，在精神病院做精神病患者日常护理，在NGO/NPO做社工，另外还有婚姻顾问、心理咨询、教育顾问，以及在居委会、街道办事处、妇联等机构任职。社工的教育（美国）以WUSTL为例基础课程：25学分ResearchMethodsHumanBehavior
