Pomeroy, Elizabeth C.; Hai, Audrey Hang; Cole, Allan Hugh, Jr.
Journal of Social Work Education, v57 n2 p264-286 2021
This study's purpose was to assess social work practitioners' educational needs for developing spiritual/religious competencies with end-of-life care and grief. Competency levels and factors associated with educational courses and content on developing spiritual/religious competencies were identified. Data were collected in 2017 through an online Qualtrics Survey Tool at a large public university in the Southwest. An online survey was sent to 3,845 social work practitioners via email and 437 practitioners who met eligibility criteria participated in the survey. Results suggest that social work education and trainings would benefit from better integration of spirituality/religion competencies, both in general and specifically in the area of end-of-life care and grief. Implications for social work education improvement are provided.
