Abstract

Professional identity development in social work students and graduates is complicated by intertwining internal and external factors. This article reports findings from a subset of data from a longitudinal qualitative study which aims to understand what factors contribute to this group’s sense of professional identity. It draws on multiple interviews conducted with six international students/graduates in Australia, at approximately six-monthly intervals between 2021 and 2023. Findings indicate that the participants encountered intersecting barriers to professional identity, which outweighed facilitating factors. The study makes a unique contribution by addressing the current knowledge gap about how international students and graduates become social workers.

澳大利亚社会工作专业的国际毕业生：对努力发展专业身份的毕业生的纵向研究

社会工作专业学生和毕业生的职业认同感发展因内部和外部因素的交织而变得复杂。本文报告了一项纵向定性研究的部分数据结果，该研究旨在了解是哪些因素促成了这一群体的专业认同感。在 2021 年至 2023 年期间，研究人员每隔大约六个月对澳大利亚的六名留学生/毕业生进行一次访谈。研究结果表明，参与者在职业认同感方面遇到的障碍交织在一起，这些障碍超过了促进因素。本研究填补了目前关于留学生和毕业生如何成为社会工作者的知识空白，做出了独特的贡献。
