我国循证社会工作的发展困境与应对策略

The Developmental Difficulties and Countermeasures of Evidence-Based Social Work in China

从我国循证社会工作发展价值、挑战、状态与应对方面阐述循证实践如何落实于社会工作中。循证社会工作发展具有提升人才与服务质量、提高获得学科内外认同可能性、融合研究与实践于一体的诸多价值。不过,在“本于证据,终于证据”的实践过程中,循证实践受到行政主导、个人时间和能力有限、机构支持不足以及证据使用性问题等因素的挑战。研究发现,多数一线社会工作者与本科生不了解循证社会工作概念,这代表我国循证社会工作处于低度发展状态。循证教育是突破实践限度的关键,应积极倡导循证实践价值与成效、融入循证实践要素于课程中、建立大学—机构伙伴关系,设计改良版循证培训指南,并与实务工作者合力促进理论研究与实践经验之间的相互转化。

This paper explores the values,current situations,challenges and future developments of the implementation of evidence-based social work.An evidence-based approach would be valuable in promoting the qualities of social work services,improving the recognition of social work in both the professional community and the society at large,and the integration of social work research and practice.However,there are significant challenges in the execution of evidence-based practice,including the executive-led issue,limited time and capacity for social workers,insufficient organizational support,as well as concerns about the use of evidence.The study reveals a lack of understanding of evicence-based social work among both social workers and undergraduate social work students,indicating underdevelopment in this area.To overcome such barriers requires evidence-based education that actively promotes the value and effectiveness of evidence-based practice.An updated curriculum and revised handbooks that incorporates elements of evidence-based practice is also suggested.Additionally,educators in higher education should collaborate with frontline social workers to promote the integration of research and practice.
