Examining Social Workers' Experiences with Offering a Social Work Field Placement: A Program Evaluation
Lateef, Rusan; Burt-Yanoff, Jennifer; De Oliveira, Laurie
Journal of Social Work Education, v59 n3 p818-830 2023
Providing field education for social work students requires intensive support from field instructors. The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the effects of an educational program developed to better support social workers providing a student placement in a community-based hospital. This study examined the attitudes, beliefs, needs, and perceptions of social workers around offering a field placement, and the potential changes in these after implementing the increased educational supports. Thematic analysis of preintervention and postintervention data resulted in four themes, with subthemes: (1) Facilitators to be a field instructor; (2) Barriers to be a field instructor; (3) Implications of increased supports; and (4) Suggestions for creating a more supportive atmosphere for field instructors. The clinical implications are discussed.
