Abstract
This article reports survey data from nursing home professional social workers on their practice circumstances, prior education and training, and current training needs. This data supports the growing body of evidence that a significant portion of social work practitioners are unlikely to have received the depth of information and the specialized skills required to work with the aged and their families during their formal education. Assuming limited personnel and time, and the responsibility of many different persons for psychosocial care -the practice reality in nursing homes today-- this data can guide education and training efforts.
