The material “Hospital Social Work” is essential in the process of professionalization of social work in Vietnam today. This study aimed to describe the demands for the material “Hospital Social Work” among social workers and health workers in hospital in Vietnam. On that basis, we recommended the content of this material. The study was conducted on 175 participants including 103 social workers and 72 health workers from seven hospitals at central levels. Our study showed that health workers had a higher demand for the content of “Basic information about hospital social work” (p = 0.018), while social workers had a higher demand for the content of “Intervention methods of hospital social work” (p = 0.004); “Social work skills in hospitals” (p = 0.028); “Mental health assessment instruments” (p = 0.007) and “Social work process in hospital” (p = 0.005). The study also made recommendations to the Ministry of Health and schools of social work in Vietnam to compile this material effectively and in accordance with reality.

Bereavement Care

Bereavement support and conducting viewings for grieving family members are commonplace activities for social workers in the acute hospital setting, however the risks that COVID-19 has brought to the social work role in bereavement care has necessitated the exploration of creative alternatives. Social workers are acutely aware of the complicating factors when bereavement support is inadequately provided, let alone absent, and with the aid of technology and both individual advocacy, social workers have been able to continue to focus on the needs of the most vulnerable in the hospital system. By drawing on reflective journaling and verbal reflective discussions amongst the authors, this article discusses bereavement support and the facilitation of viewings as clinical areas in which hospital social work has been observed adapting practice creatively throughout the pandemic.

Depth Interviews

This article presents the results and theorization of a 4-year Grounded Theory project that sought to understand the processes and dynamics involved in the professional adaptation of internationally educated social workers now practicing in Canada. In-depth interviews with 66 participants, who undertook social work education outside of Canada and have subsequently settled to practice in the country, were conducted. Results highlight that the social work educational background of the professionals not only offers key conceptual, theoretical, and analytical foundations needed to adapt knowledge and skills to practice abroad, but also provides tools to navigate and negotiate professional adaptation processes as a whole. We conclude that ultimately, social workers may adapt well to their new work contexts because of the transferability of social work skills, knowledge, and values to new practice settings, thus facilitating interventions with services users and also their own process of professional adaptation.

AbstractThis article focuses on mental health assessment of refugees in clinical, educational and administrative-legal settings in order to synthesise research and practice designed to enhance and promote further development of culturally appropriate clinical assessment services during the refugee resettlement process. It specifically surveys research published over the last 25 years into the development, reliability measurement and validity testing of assessment instruments, which have been used with children, adolescents and adults from refugee backgrounds, prior to or following their arrival in a resettlement country, to determine whether the instruments meet established crosscultural standards of conceptual, functional, linguistic, technical and normative equivalence. The findings suggest that, although attempts have been made to develop internally reliable, appropriately normed tests for use with refugees from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, matters of conceptual and linguistic equivalence and test–retest reliability are often overlooked. Implications of these oversights for underreporting refugees' mental health needs are considered. Efforts should also be directed towards development of culturally comparable, valid and reliable measures of refugee children's mental health and of refugee children's and adults' psychoeducational, neuropsychological and applied memory capabilities.

For this initial evaluation of the course’s efficacy, the data from three standard mental health assessment instruments were examined. Scores on all measures revealed considerable reductions in symptoms over the duration of the course, with some statistically significant improvements maintained at follow-up.

“Group Work Orientation in the Contemporary Summer Camp” addresses current literature and implications for practice. In recent years, camp social workers have published articles and presented at professional conferences. Among the areas of interest are the following: mission and purpose as applied to camps, intentional use of activities (including nondeliberative practice) as a means to an end, the mutual aid process as an inherent part of camp life, stages of group development as important knowledge for camp personnel, social workers’ leadership role in training and supervising camp staff, and social justice as a core value conveyed by social work-oriented camps. This chapter also describes the unique Group Work Camp, the creation of social group workers intended to educate social work students and new professionals as well as refreshing experienced practitioners. The camp utilizes experiential education to enhance group work skills. The chapter includes one vignette.
