Open-ended survey responses ( n = 46) from participants in three Anglophone countries and three Latin American countries were analyzed. Three themes emerged: (1) social work research seeks solutions or actions; (2) social work research integrates an ecological approach; and (3) social work research is upheld by ethics and so…

What theories and methods do social workers report using in their practice? A scoping review
A scoping review framework was used to explore and synthesize the existing international research surrounding social workers’ application of theory into practice. The results indicated: (a) social workers report employing pragmatic approaches; (b) although some social workers struggle to explicitly identify the theories and methods they utilize, implicit theoretical application is evident; (c) time is the greatest barrier to theoretical applicati…
Locked Down in the Rainbow Nation
The literature on the biopsychosocial effects of COVID-19 on older persons has originated predominately from the Global North, with a dearth of studies focusing on the loneliness of older persons in the developing world, such as South Africa. This cross-sectional study explored the loneliness of South African older persons (N = 118) before and during COVID-19 to inform gerontological social work. The survey incorporated a standardised scale of lo…
Social Workers’ Use of Theories and Methods in Practice
This study examined social workers’ perceived use of theories and methods in practice through a questionnaire completed by social workers in New York City (N=105) followed by individual interviews (N=20). Social workers received approximately one to six courses on theory in their education that moderately influenced their current practice. The most commonly used theories in practice included Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strengths Perspective, an…
We Feel, Therefore, We Learn
Within social work education, the literature on affective learning processes is, for the most part, poorly conceptualized and minimally researched. Affective processes that engage students’ values, beliefs, and emotions are valuable resources supporting students’ development of self-reflection skills, stamina for discomfort, and curiosity for people who hold identities that differ from their own. Using a nationwide sample of syllabi in the United…
Stress During the Early Months of Covid in the U.S
The stress that the COVID pandemic has caused is immeasurable and is likely to impact people for many years to come. Service providers such as social workers are experiencing these impacts both personally and professionally. As new research emerges, a greater understanding of the emotional toll related to COVID can help to inform social work practice. To add to this gap in the literature, an online survey explored the factors that contribute to h…

Meeting social needs and loneliness in a time of social distancing under Covid-19
Loneliness has a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of people. The COVID-19 pandemic has demanded individuals to socially distance, which has implications for loneliness and social isolation. This cross-sectional study explored the ways in which people in the United States (N = 412) are meeting their social needs in a time of social distancing, how these activities relate to levels of loneliness, and any differences among young, middl…
Reconsidering How Successful Aging is Defined
Successful aging is a prominent framework within gerontology, yet an understanding of how aging adults define 'successful aging' is often missing in the social work discourse around what it means to age well. This cross-sectional, exploratory study used an online survey to explore community-dwelling adults' (aged 55+; n=471) definition of successful aging, the underlying components across all definitions, and any differences in components based o…
Social work education in a global pandemic
During the first week of March 2020, the Editorial Board of this journal met in Manchester, England where members from across England, Scotland, Spain, and the United States joined for the annual Board meeting.Back then, handshakes were a 'normal' formality in greeting one another (in this part of the Western world) before taking a seat tightly around a Board room table where water glasses were filled from communal bottles handed across and down …
It’s What’s on the Inside That Counts”
Peer mentorship programs with returned citizens (i.e., formally incarcerated) have recently emerged as a model that provides mentees and mentors with opportunities to practice new roles that broaden their self-identity and consequently can also assist with maintaining ongoing, non-recidivating behavior. Yet, few evidence-based models focus directly on supporting the peer mentor’s identity change process. This study employed a pretest–posttest eva…
Regulation, Registration and Social Work
The anticipated change of social work regulator in England from the Health and Care Professions Council to Social Work England in 2019 will herald the third, national regulator in seven years for the social work profession. Social Work England will be a new, bespoke, professionally specific regulator established as a non-departmental public body with a primary objective to protect the public. Looking globally, we can observe different approaches …
Transformations of the Self
The integration of peer mentors with a history of incarceration is a strengths-based intervention, primarily emerging within large urban U.S. cities. The Credible Messenger Institute is an innovative training program that aims to prepare adults who were formerly incarcerated to mentor justice-involved youth. Through two focus groups, this study explored the change experiences of 11 peer mentors who participated in the 6-week training. Data analys…
Exploring How Practicing Social Workers Define Evidence-Based Practice
This research note presents findings from a study that sought to garner a better understanding of the way in which practicing social workers defined Evidence-Based Practice (EBP). As part of a larger quantitative study, 137 social work practitioners provided a definition for EBP through an online survey and indicated the extent to which they: consider themselves an evidence-based practitioner; believe practitioners should apply EBP in social work…
Making Social Work Count
Students in the United Kingdom (UK) are found to lack knowledge and skills in quantitative research methods. To address this gap, a quantitative research method and statistical analysis curriculum comprising 10 individual lessons was developed, piloted, and evaluated at two universities The evaluation found that BSW students’ (N = 81) self-efficacy improved significantly from pre- to posttest, but statistical knowledge improved only slightly and …
Social Work Research and Its Relevance to Practice
The social work profession requires a body of scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of interventions; yet, the social work scientific community could benefit from strengthening its contribution to the profession's body of evidence. Through twenty qualitative interviews with social work professors who are employed at four-year academic institutions (referred to as “social work academics”), this study explored how academics define social…
Why do I dread looking old
Outward appearance is one of the means by which age is determined, and fear of looking old may stem from fears about social identity and death. This study explored how social identity theory and terror management theory may help to explain the dread of looking old. University students from the United States, England, and Australia (N = 1,042) completed a questionnaire regarding their attitudes about aging and older adults. Results indicated that …

Singing for Successful Ageing
Community-based preventative programmes are increasing in demand as the UK seeks alternative ways of supporting the growing number of older adults. As the use and promotion of preventative programmes increase, so does the need for evidence supporting their effectiveness. Through the use of mixed methods, this study explored a singing community-arts programme, the Golden Oldies, to determine the extent to which the programme contributes to partici…

Your Agenda Is Our Agenda
Political decision makers often argue that their agenda is driven by the needs, values, and wants of constituents, yet little evidence exists documenting the transmission of agendas from the constituents to the decision maker. Interest groups play a crucial role in educating political decision makers about issues and persuading their response; therefore, this study begins to explore the transmission of agendas from interest groups to political de…
