Loneliness and Social Isolation in Older Adults during the Covid-19 Pandemic: Implications for Gerontological Social Work
Effects of Older Adult Driving Resumption on All-Cause Mortality
Those who resumed driving had better survival than those who did not. Practice implications include driver rehabilitation and retraining to safely promote and prolong driving
Weaving a Web: The Use of Internet Technology in Field Education
The use of Internet technology in social work education is increasingly being debated. This paper describes applications using two technological tools to enhance one school's field education program. The development and current use of these computer-based strategies for use in the classroom-based Integrative Seminars, as a method to orient students to practicum and to offer an on-line Integrative Seminar, are discussed. Also described is the deve…
MSW Integrative Seminars: Toward Integrating Course and Field Work
Social work education programs strive to integrate knowledge acquired in the classroom with practice through the field education experience. The Integrative Seminar is one mechanism to enhance integration efforts of students and field instructors. Little guidance and few models are available to graduate social work programs in offering such Seminars. This descriptive paper discusses the use of Integrative Seminars as a vehicle for integration and…
Validating a Measure Across Groups: The Use of MIMIC Models in Scale Development
This study tests the effects of causal indicators on the factorial invariance of a measure across groups. If a measure lacks invariance, MIMIC models (Multiple Indicators/Multiple Causes) can be used to identify the source of invariance. Using the Caregiver Well-Being Scale, two phases of multi-group modeling with post-care-givers and non-caregivers were analyzed. The first phase tested the scale's validity and reliability using multi-group model…
SocialWelfare Policy Changes and SocialWork Practice
Managed care, welfare reform, changes in government-sponsored health insurance, privatization, for-profit commercial activity, and increasing competition for charitable funding are affecting nonprofit social service organizations. This study of 244 nonprofit social service agencies explores the influence of social policy changes on nonprofit organizations. The effects of such changes on social work practice and social work field education within …
Role Induction and Caregiver Strain: A Structural Equation Approach
Using causal modeling, this study of 71 adult daughter caregivers of elderly parents examines direct and indirect relationships between two caregiver induction factors. caregiver reason for selection into the role and level of willingness to assume the role. The influence of caregiver reason for selection on level of willingness and post-induction caregiver strain is explored using structural equation modeling. Reults suggest caregivers who perce…
