A Scale to Measure the Effectiveness of Casework (CES-10)
Purpose: One of the challenges in social casework is the measurement of its effectiveness, and the challenge mainly arises due to the lack of a standardized tool. The present research is aimed at filling that gap through the development of a scientific scale to measure the effectiveness of casework practice. Method: Data were collected from 202 former casework clients across 22 organizations in India. The collected data were then used to carry out both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, Discussion: The 10-item casework effectiveness scale (CES-10) has been found to be highly valid and reliable (Cronbach alpha: .956). Across multiple types of validity and reliability indicators. Apart from making a wide range of studies possible, the tool also opens the door to future randomized controlled trials, to help test and build scientific evidence for social casework practice. CES-10 is now publicly available and free to use.
期刊介绍:
Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
