Assignment: Connecting Knowledge and Research
In order to provide the appropriate intervention, social workers
first need to have conducted a thorough assessment. Having a
comprehensive understanding of a client and their social
environment, including the influence of racism and
ethnocentrism, allows a social worker to accurately identify the
presenting problems and help the client develop goals to address
their needs. Not completing a full assessment may result in
inaccurately identifying the presenting problem and pushing
goals on the client to which they do not agree. A good
assessment is the best foundation for treatment planning.
In addition, evidence based practice requires social workers to
use the best available evidence to inform their practice
decisions. This assignment helps you prepare for the final
project by beginning to identify the presenting problem and
possible goals, as well as beginning the research process to
inform your treatment recommendations when working with the
identified client in a case study.
To prepare:
Conduct research in the Walden library to locate
at least
1 peer-reviewed scholarly resource(s) that could inform your
assessment or intervention with the case you plan to use in your
final project.
By Day 7
Submit
a 2-3 page paper in which you:
Identify the case you will be using for the final project
Describe the presenting problem(s)
Describe 2 goals for the client based on their presenting
problem
Identify a specific peer-reviewed article and explain how it
could inform understanding of the problem/population,
development of goals, or intervention and treatment plan
Explain how ethnocentrism and racism may influence the case
(make sure to draw from this week’s assigned readings)
The case study i plan to use is the case with Dalia
