妇联系统社会工作专业能力建设——基于项目的个案研究

由加拿大国际开发署赞助,中华女子学院与加拿大马尼托巴大学社会工作学院合作从2004年起,开展了“中国农村基础妇联干部社会工作能力建设”项目。本项目选择在内蒙古赤峰、山东济阳、四川罗江和西昌四个地区进行,以妇联工作为平台。通过对基层妇联工作人员进行社会工作能力建设培训,提升妇联工作人员的社会工作专业水平和服务质量,从而更好地满足农村妇女的需要,提升她们的生活质量以及增强她们的生活和工作能力。本文将根据对本项目的培训的评估,总结了如何将社会工作专业培训与妇联工作结合起来的实践,探讨了开展社会工作专业培训中遇到的问题,并从项目经验出发,分享了收获和经验,为推动社会工作专业化,特别是妇联系统社会工作专业化建设提供了启发。     

现阶段本土性社会工作之专业关系研究

社会工作助人实践中社会工作者和受助者之间的专业关系直接影响助人实践的成败。西方社会工作理论对专业关系有比较细致的研究和相对详尽的实务原则,现阶段的本土性社会工作则由于本土文化、专业发展阶段等因素的影响要求在实践中对专业关系的把握需要注意自身的特点。高度情感卷入、有条件的接纳、案主自决的适当介入和时间上的延展性构成现阶段本土社会工作实践专业关系的特点。社会工作者对这些特点的总结、理解和把握将推动社会工作事业的发展和制度化的建设。     

教学活动中社会工作专业教师的角色定位

社会工作专业的教学活动,不仅要使学生建立社会工作专业的理论基础,更重要的是要使学生把理论和概念转化为可应用的实务技巧,使大学生树立专业的价值理念,确立专业认同感和专业自豪感,以及如何有效的运用社会工作的价值理念,帮助人们解决各种困惑,提高人们生活质量的能力。所以说,社会工作专业教师应该树立起多重的角色意识,并不断进行多重的角色整合,以推动社会工作专业的发展和专业教学水平的提升。     

农民专业合作组织的成长机理与发展对策研究——基于河南省安阳市的调查

实地调查发现,农民专业合作组织具有组织不规范、发展封闭性与市场脆弱性等缺陷。要克服其发展缺陷。农民专业合作组织必须基于自身的资源优势,对内提高资源的配置效率,对外则嵌入农业产业价值链中,逐步形成能够产生价值、具有竞争优势的产业组织。农民专业合作组织要健康成长和发展,必须“内外兼修”。对内要强化农户之间的合作关系,对外要协调好与农业产业化经营企业的关系,更要处理好与政府之间的关系。     

Midwives experiences of participating in a midwifery research project: A qualitative study

Problem and background

In an earlier research project midwives were asked to perform women-centered care focusing on the assumption that the physiological process in the second stage of labour could be trusted and that the midwives role should be encouraging and supportive rather than instructing. There is no knowledge about how midwives participating in such a research project, uses their skills and experience from the study in their daily work.

The Relationship Between Social Work and Psychoanalysis: The Future Impact of Social Workers

Because social workers are likely to have a more expanded role within organized psychoanalysis than previously, it seems timely to consider the numerous challenges and opportunities ahead with respect to social workers’ impact on the practice of psychoanalysis. For those who become social work psychoanalysts, in particular, a pivotal issue is the degree to which they retain their core identity as clinical social workers. It is important for them to integrate and balance the diverse aspects of their dual identity, to participate in our social work organizations, to contribute to developing psychoanalysis, and to work to keep the teaching of contemporary psychoanalytic theories alive in social work education.

The birth of 'MidPLUS': Australia's new national continuing professional development program for midwives

The national continuing professional development (CPD) program of the Australian College of Midwives, MidPLUS, was officially launched in September 2007. In our role as program developers we were dedicated to the belief that this national CPD program would be an important step for Australian midwives, and contribute to demonstrating a commitment to providing safe and effective care for Australian women and families. This paper outlines key issues involved in providing CPD programs for professional groups and highlights how this information was used in the decision making behind the design of MidPLUS. The key operational elements of CPD programs included program design, program administration and related professional issues. Important features and functions of the MidPLUS program are highlighted and justification is given for our overall design. This information may assist midwives who are considering using the MidPLUS program and are asking the question: CPD-what does it mean for me?     

Who should we get? How employer reputation shapes network hiring in Dutch professional football

Despite a vast literature examining networks in labor markets, it remains unclear how employers differ in their use of networks during recruitment. This study examines network hiring among high and low reputation organizations in Dutch professional football. Within-employer within-transfer window fixed effects conditional logistic regression models demonstrate that networks increase the likelihood that low reputation employers hire workers, but no network effect was found among high reputation employers. Qualitative interviews with employees suggest that low reputation employers identify their search pool and gather hard-to-observe information about potential hires through networks, while high reputation employers do not rely on networks for their search pool and gather information through observing workers for prolonged periods of time     

Responding to catastrophe: A case study of learning from perinatal death in midwifery practice

Problem/BackgroundPerinatal death has far reaching emotional effects for all involved in this devastating event. The opportunity for learning as a result of this catastrophe, however, remains unexplored.AimTo explore midwives’ experiences of caring through, and learning from, perinatal death, to better inform the effective planning and delivery of education that optimises both midwifery and self-care.MethodsA naturalistic interpretive multiple case study design. Seventeen midwives, located in Australia, participated in an online group activity hosted as a blog, followed by telephonic focus groups and in-depth email interviews.FindingsThematic data analysis revealed seven major themes: Grappling with the reality of perinatal death; Struggling with personal and professional heartache; Seeking the space to grieve as a professional; Being with the woman and her family; Finding a new purpose; Strengthened through support; and Developing the courage to care.DiscussionThe initial turmoil and impact of loss reflected the catastrophic nature of perinatal death. Midwives uncovered a journey to acceptance and learning, realising a determination to enhance expertise and discovering value in experiential knowledge. Insecurity regarding competence and confidence to manage perinatal death and bereavement care was highlighted. However, sharing their stories revealed professional fulfilment, personal strength, and solidarity amongst midwives who have endured similar experiences.ConclusionA coordinated approach to support and the dissemination of experiential knowledge and learning could be developed within an online model of narrative sharing and discussion. Debriefing, support and sharing of expertise in this way may foster engagement within and beyond the workplace.
