Abstract

This study examined the inclusion of content on spirituality and religion in leading social work journals. To accomplish this aim, the authors preformed a content analysis of 10 years of publication (2008 to 2017, inclusive) in nine discourse-shaping journals (Social Work, Social Work Research, Families in Society, Social Service Review, Child Welfare, Research on Social Work Practice, Journal of Social Service Research, Journal of Social Work Education, and Journal of the Society for Social Work and Research). In addition to determining the prevalence of spirituality and religious content, the authors examined the frequency with which various religious groups are depicted, the substantive area of focus (for example, micro, macro), and methodological characteristics (for example, conceptual, empirical). The results suggest that spirituality and religion receive minimal attention in the profession’s most prestigious journals, which, in turn, may negatively affect the profession’s ability to comply with its ethical and educational standards regarding spirituality and religion.

主要社会工作期刊的灵性与宗教:十年内容分析

这项研究调查了主要社会工作期刊中关于灵性和宗教的内容。为了实现这一目标，作者对9种话语塑造期刊(《社会工作》、《社会工作研究》、《社会中的家庭》、《社会服务评论》、《儿童福利》、《社会工作实践研究》、《社会服务研究杂志》、《社会工作教育杂志》和《社会工作与研究学会杂志》)10年(包括2008年至2017年)的出版内容进行了分析。除了确定灵性和宗教内容的普遍性之外，作者还研究了各种宗教团体被描述的频率，实质性的重点领域(例如，微观的，宏观的)和方法特征(例如，概念的，经验的)。结果表明，灵性和宗教在该行业最负盛名的期刊上得到的关注最少，这反过来可能会对该行业遵守有关灵性和宗教的道德和教育标准的能力产生负面影响。
