Qualitative findings and social work interventions

You may have heard the expression that you can’t truly understand someone until you’ve “walked a mile in their shoes.” To a certain extent, because it is based on felt and lived experience, qualitative research can approximate that level of understanding. Clients’ thoughts and feelings explored through an interview, for example, can be highly personal and authentic records. Evidence-based practice calls for the use of research data to guide the development of social work interventions on the micro, mezzo, and macro levels. In terms of qualitative data, this means social workers develop interventions and programs that take into account the very real experiences conveyed. Given the increasing diversity that characterizes the landscape in the United States, social workers also need to consider culture when formulating interventions—and may even need to adapt a particular intervention to be more culturally sensitive and relevant. In this Discussion, you interpret qualitative data and determine relevant practice recommendations that can be adapted to a diverse group.

Review the Matheson et al. article in the Learning Resources. Pay close attention to the Findings section, in which themes are conveyed and participants’ quotes are presented. Also review the Fennig and the Marsiglia et al. articles on cultural adaptations of interventions and programs. In the Fennig article, focus on the surface structure and deep structure adaptations presented.

Post the following: Using one of the participant quotes in the Findings section of the Matheson et al. study, analyze it by first identifying the main themes in the quote. Provide an interpretation of the quote (what is the speaker saying?). Discuss how this would specifically inform one intervention recommendation for social work practice with clients. Your recommendation can be on the micro, mezzo, or macro level (choose one). Next, explain how you would adapt the practice recommendation that you identified so that it is culturally sensitive and relevant for African Americans, Hispanics, or Asian immigrants. (Select only one group.) Choose a surface structure or deep structure adaptation that Fennig reviewed and provide two strategies for application with your selected group. Be as specific as you can, using citations to support your ideas.

RUBRIC

Excellent Quality

95-100%

Introduction

45-41 points

The context and relevance of the issue, as well as a clear description of the study aim, are presented. The history of searches is discussed.

Literature Support

91-84 points

The context and relevance of the issue, as well as a clear description of the study aim, are presented. The history of searches is discussed.

Methodology

58-53 points

With titles for each slide as well as bulleted sections to group relevant information as required, the content is well-organized. Excellent use of typeface, color, images, effects, and so on to improve readability and presenting content. The minimum length criterion of 10 slides/pages is reached.

Average Score

50-85%

40-38 points

More depth/information is required for the context and importance, otherwise the study detail will be unclear. There is no search history information supplied.

83-76 points

There is a review of important theoretical literature, however there is limited integration of research into problem-related ideas. The review is just partly focused and arranged. There is research that both supports and opposes. A summary of the material given is provided. The conclusion may or may not include a biblical integration.

52-49 points

The content is somewhat ordered, but there is no discernible organization. The use of typeface, color, graphics, effects, and so on may sometimes distract from the presenting substance. It is possible that the length criteria will not be reached.

Poor Quality

0-45%

37-1 points

The context and/or importance are lacking. There is no search history information supplied.

75-1 points

There has been an examination of relevant theoretical literature, but still no research concerning problem-related concepts has been synthesized. The review is just somewhat focused and organized. The provided overview of content does not include any supporting or opposing research. The conclusion has no scriptural references.

48-1 points

There is no logical or apparent organizational structure. There is no discernible logical sequence. The use of typeface, color, graphics, effects, and so on often detracts from the presenting substance. It is possible that the length criteria will not be reached.
