Abstract

This exploratory study used a project-developed questionnaire to examine the perceptions of members of an African-American community (N = 102) regarding the social work profession and its commitment to issues pertinent to African-Americans. The results suggested that while the African-American respondents felt that social workers could be a source of help, a considerable amount of the respondents reported that they did not see social workers as being helpful or sensitive to the needs of African-Americans. The results of this study have implications for social work practitioners and educators.
错失目标:非裔美国人社区的社会工作专业形象
本探索性研究使用了一份项目开发的问卷来调查非裔美国人社区成员(N = 102)对社会工作专业及其对非裔美国人相关问题的承诺的看法。结果表明,虽然非裔美国人受访者认为社会工作者可以提供帮助,但相当多的受访者表示,他们认为社会工作者对非裔美国人的需求没有帮助或敏感。本研究结果对社会工作从业人员和教育工作者具有启示意义。
