Methods: Descriptive analyses were conducted on a sample of 1,625 nonlicensed social workers from the 2024 Workforce Survey. Results: Nonlicensed social workers primarily worked in individual and family services, where a social work degree was preferred but licensure was not required. About half assisted clients with limited incomes from minoritized backgrounds. Master's level social workers often served as direct service providers and administrators, whereas bachelor's level workers frequently served as case managers. Approximately 15.60% of bachelor's level and 17.23% of master's level social workers were primarily engaged in macro practitioner roles. Many were seeking more education, licensure, and career opportunities as social workers. Discussion: Future studies should examine how social work degrees and licenses help social work candidates navigate the social services and behavioral healthcare job market.","PeriodicalId":47993,"journal":{"name":"Research on Social Work Practice","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145730946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This pilot randomized controlled trial evaluated the preliminary efficacy of a single-session online Awareness, Courage, and Love (ACL) intervention in enhancing interpersonal closeness and well-being among older adults. Method Sixty-four community-dwelling older adults (aged ≥60) were randomly assigned to the ACL intervention group ( <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n</jats:italic> = 32) or a waitlist control ( <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n</jats:italic> = 32).

Results Interpersonal closeness significantly increased from baseline to post-intervention in both groups, with a nonsignificant trend favoring the ACL group. The ACL group displayed significant improvements in depressive symptoms from baseline to post-intervention, and from post-intervention to 1-month follow-up.

Method: This study developed and validated a brief instrument with 633 gifted adolescents (ages 12–15, M = 13.5, SD = 1.1) from Turkish Science and Art Centers using exploratory (n = 221) and confirmatory (n = 382) factor analyses. The sample included students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds across urban and suburban regions. Results: The 24-item scale demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties (χ²/df = 2.47, Comparative Fit Index = 0.86, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation = 0.072, α = .766) across five dimensions: emotion regulation, perfectionism, hypersensitivity, positive reappraisal, and social support. Criterion validity was supported through moderate correlation (r = .43, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p</jats:italic> &lt; .05) with an established coping measure.

Results Paired t-tests were used to compare the vignette assignment and stigma scores against each other and a control. The term “Survivor” was significantly lower on the stigma scale than other terms used, but the effect size was small.

This study explored how transformative practices, aligned with United Nations' calls for reform toward person-centred, rights-based mental health recovery across Canada and Australia, are learned. Using co-operative inquiry, the research captures diverse experiences and knowledge from social work practitioners, managers, students, academics, and family members in a practice research partnership to examine how learning prepares and sustains mental health social workers for transformative practice. Findings revealed an iterative approach to learning in mental health, highlighting the diverse foci of learning (what) at various career stages (when) and the reciprocal nature of learning for and from others in the practice environment (from whom). In this unique context, the study underscored the importance of professional identity resilience.","PeriodicalId":47993,"journal":{"name":"Research on Social Work Practice","volume":"145 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145611002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Organizational representatives ( <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n</jats:italic> = 47) were surveyed about their coordination, communication frequency, and trust and reliability toward 190 organizations in a southeastern state. Results: Communication frequency was significantly associated with all coordination types. Among disability and violence prevention organizations, 71.9% of information and resource sharing ties and 12.5% of training ties were present. Violence prevention organizations sent more referrals to disability organizations than the inverse. Discussion: Future research should explore how coalition building among organizations occurs via interpersonal ties (e.g., boundary spanners).

Critiques of measures used in HAB research have noted the need for research on the validity and reliability of HAB measures.

Methods: Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis methods were used to test the measurement equivalence and convergent validity of FBS scores for female and male pet owners. Results: Results were consistent with configural, metric, and near full threshold invariance. Evidence was consistent with convergent validity.

Method A total of 41 participants engaged in simulated counseling practices using six role-play chatbots created on the Poe platform, each representing diverse client profiles and backgrounds. Results The findings showed statistically significant improvements in overall counseling self-efficacy scores from pretest to posttest and perceived ease of use was a strong predictor of counseling self-efficacy. Discussion The results of this study demonstrate that chatbot-based role-play can effectively enhance counseling self-efficacy, providing valuable insights for future chatbot design in counselor training. Since ease of use strongly influenced learning outcomes, future chatbots should be simple to navigate and engaging to encourage consistent practice.
