Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: In 2021, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) published a report revealing that over 46 million individuals in the United States had a substance use disorder (SUD). In the same year, a record number of drug-related overdose deaths were reported. Social workers play an important role in connecting with people who use substances and providing adequate care and treatment; yet, negative attitudes and lack of holistic knowledge about individuals who use substances create challenges in providing effective care. Social work curricula that integrates substance use content has been identified as one way to address this.
UNASSIGNED: A 14-week course was introduced in one institution\'s Master of Social Work curriculum with the goal of providing students with a comprehensive education on SUDs. Foundational knowledge and practical skill development were covered. Seventeen trained instructors taught a total of 1204 students between May 2020 and January 2022. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected to explore changes in student\'s self-perceived knowledge, attitudes, and skills related to substance use.
UNASSIGNED: Among those who completed the survey (N = 553), the majority felt that the course would have a positive impact on their future work and professional development. Specifically, 96.4% reported being satisfied or very satisfied with the course overall. Among those who completed a 30-day follow-up survey (n = 69), data revealed an increase in students\' self-perceived knowledge, accompanied by a shift in attitudes and positive changes in self-perceived client-centered care skills.
UNASSIGNED: Findings from this article support the development, implementation, and evaluation of evidence-based substance use content within social work curricula. This has implications for improving knowledge, attitudes, and skills among social workers who work with people who use substances.
摘要:
2021年,药物滥用和精神卫生服务管理局(SAMHSA)发布了一份报告,显示美国有超过4600万人患有药物使用障碍(SUD)。同年,报告了与药物过量相关的死亡人数创纪录.社会工作者在与使用药物的人建立联系并提供适当的护理和治疗方面发挥着重要作用;然而,消极的态度和缺乏对使用药物的个人的整体知识在提供有效的护理方面带来了挑战。整合物质使用内容的社会工作课程已被确定为解决这一问题的一种方法。
在一个机构的社会工作硕士课程中引入了为期14周的课程,目的是为学生提供有关SUD的全面教育。涵盖了基础知识和实践技能的发展。在2020年5月至2022年1月期间,共有17名训练有素的讲师教授了1204名学生。收集定量和定性数据来探索学生自我感知知识的变化,态度,以及与物质使用相关的技能。
在完成调查的人中(N=553),大多数人认为该课程将对他们未来的工作和专业发展产生积极影响。具体来说,96.4%的受访者表示对整个课程感到满意或非常满意。在完成30天跟踪调查的人中(n=69),数据显示,学生的自我感知知识有所增加,伴随着态度的转变和自我感知的以客户为中心的护理技能的积极变化。
本文的发现支持开发,实施,并评估社会工作课程中基于证据的物质使用内容。这对提高知识水平有影响,态度,以及与使用物质的人一起工作的社会工作者的技能。
