Virtual addressing reality: Development of a virtual social work program to address health-related social needs.

405 Background: Assessment of Health-Related Social Needs (HRSNs) has become an integral part of understanding barriers to care and improving patients’ lives and experiences as they receive cancer care. Increased assessment, however, can result in a raised awareness of unmet needs in oncology patient populations. This tends to highlight gaps in services and necessitate additional staff to attend to these needs. Addressing HRSNs can be facilitated with lay navigators (non-licensed staff), licensed staff, clinical staff, and other members of a multi-disciplinary team. Actions can include, but are not limited to, identification of practical concerns, referrals to community-based organizations (CBOs), referral to the clinical team, or further escalation to a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). Methods: The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Distress Thermometer screening tool was implemented in July 2023 where patients are screened every 3 months in a community oncology setting. A workflow was established where a clinic staff would administer the screening tool and enter the details of the screening into the EHR system. Based on established criteria, the patient would be referred to the social work team via electronic referral. Due to an increase in screening and subsequent referrals, a virtual team of (5) social workers called Patient Resource Coordinators (PRCs) was established in December 2023 to address the practical concerns and facilitate the coordination of resources based on identified needs. After the team was established, non-urgent referrals were then assigned to a PRC. The PRC could refer to an on-site LMSW/LCSW for higher level of acuity assessment, like crisis support or positive PHQ-9 scores. Results: See Table. Conclusions: The virtual PRC team is able to manage ~55% of referrals made to a social worker based on results from an HRSN screening tool. This has allowed the onsite LMSWs/LCSWs to work at the top of their license and enabled patients to receive support with care coordination and connection to resources. Over time, the referrals managed by the virtual team has increased and their connections to patients have grown. In the future, the PRC team aims to add additional LCSW services to assist patients with higher acuity needs. This will broaden the scope of services available to the patients to address their health-related social needs in a timely manner.

Management of Moral Development for Students

The research in this thesis descriptively explains the management of moral development at Dayah Nurul Islam in Southeast Aceh. The research method used in this study is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. Based on the research findings, it was found that Dayah Nurul Islam in Aceh was established in 1960 by Tengku Abuya Ja’far Sidik bin H. Hasan bin H. Abbas. In its subsequent development, the dayah has expanded in several aspects, including institutional development, curriculum, and facilities. The existence of Dayah Nurul Islam and its role in society is to foster the Muslim community. Therefore, the role of Dayah Nurul Islam in society is as a religious educational institution, a preaching institution, and a social institution. To realize these roles, the management of moral development for students is implemented by integrating modern management systems, including planning, implementation, supervision, and evaluation of moral development for students at Dayah Nurul Islam. The education and teaching system at Dayah Nurul Islam Southeast Aceh follows the modern pesantren system. This is evident from the planning of work programs for each section, the creation of an annual education and teaching calendar according to the work programs that have been prepared, the determination of consultation, coordination, and instruction methods for each section, and the determination of the form, method, and time of reporting for each section. The planning is carried out under the Deputy Director of the Dayah in collaboration with the heads of SMP and MA Nurul Islam Southeast Aceh.

The associations among racial and ethnic identity and perceptions of professors, support, and mental wellbeing in schools of social work

ABSTRACT In the summer of 2020, the United States witnessed unprecedented unrest following the police killing of George Floyd. The reckoning with racial injustice stimulated discussions throughout colleges and universities in the country – particularly within schools of social work – about systemic racism, power, privilege, bias, and inequity. Current political and racial climate have caused tremendous emotional stress for many BIPOC (Black Indigenous people of color) students. In response to national political concerns, scholarships addressing racial justice and higher education emerged, pivoting their efforts toward developing new initiatives to promote diverse and inclusive campus environments. This pilot study recruited a convenience sample (N = 33) from social work programs from 20 different universities throughout the country to complete quantitative surveys. Participants were primarily women (82.9%), and white (65.9%), with some students identifying as non-binary gender, and some with learning or physical disabilities. The study explored student characteristics on their perceptions of their sense of feeling supported, connected to the university, experience of diversity initiatives, and overall mental health. Regression models indicate that BIPOC students were more likely to disagree that their social work programs focused on diversity. Similarly, women students reported a lack of new commitment to diversity among their campuses. Although the CSWE has committed to diversity and inclusion in social work programs and the profession for 40 years, this pilot study suggests that social work students still do not consistently perceive a focus on diversity and race discussions as adequate. This study can help social work schools and administrators research their curriculum, faculty, and students while adopting the new EPAS competencies.

Robo‐compliance in Australian employment services

AbstractSince the late 1990s, Australia's employment services have enforced mutual obligation compliance as part of a transition to a disciplinary regime of conditional welfare. In recent years, the digitisation of employment services has extended the disciplinary approach to self‐activation. Notably, self‐activation extends mutual obligation requirements so that online reporting is a condition of benefit eligibility, or a digital obligation, enforced by threats to financial security in the form of automated payment suspensions. Guided by recent developments in the conceptualisation of digital welfare to work programs, case study analysis is used to explore the ways the technologies of self‐activation have changed the location of power in mutual obligation compliance decisions. This shift represents a move from street‐level decision making to Robo‐compliance. The article discusses the significance of this shift in the digital administration of disciplinary social policy in employment services. It highlights the need for further empirical research to explore this shift and how it affects individuals whose social security payments depend on interactions with these technologies.

On the Importance of Extracurricular Physical Education Activities in the Physical Education of Students of Higher Education Institutions

Third, describe the obstacles faced by Ma’had institutions in implementing religious moderation. The research design is designed as a field research design in which the researcher will conduct observations and interviews with the respondents, on the issues raised. These findings will be analyzed using the social construction theory of Peter L. Berger.The results of the study show: First, the management pattern in implementing religious moderation in Islamic boarding school/Ma’had begins with determining the vision and mission of the madrasa, and preparing the madrasa work program which is documented in the Ma’had Strategic Plan, Ma’had Work Plan, Annual Activity Plan, Ma’had Activity Plan and Budget, and Ma’had Curriculum. Second, Ma’had in implementing religious moderation generally use three patterns, namely: (1) integrating in the learning process; (2) habituation activities; (3) through extracurricular. Based on the implementation model of religious moderation at the Ma’had, it can generally be concluded that these patterns are following Peter L. Berger's Social Construction Theory, namely the existence of stages in implementation such as the preparation of vision and mission, work programs and habituation to the institution (process externalization), implementation of vision and mission, work programs, and habituation to Ma’had (objectification process), and a correct understanding of moderation and implementation in everyday life both in the school, home, and community environment (internalization process).Based on the findings/results of the research, the suggestions/recommendations that can be given are: (1) there needs to be socialization, workshops, technical guidance, training on religious moderation for all educators and education personnel in Ma’had in order to create a unified insight; (2) The government in this case the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia needs to provide a separate budget related to religious moderation activities, especially in Ma’had so that activities can be carried out massively, systematically, and structured from the central level to the Ma’had level; and (3) Ma’had need to coordinate with parents through the madrasa committee, and carry out MoUs with stakeholders such as national private companies through CSR programs in implementing religious moderation in Ma’had, so that activities can be carried out massively and planned.

The article concludes that it is necessary to prepare future teachers for the implementation of the main directions of the Federal Work program of education based on a value-semantic approach and provides recommendations for its implementation in the educational practice of the university.

Engagement and Communication Challenges for a Complex, Multi-nation Research Project: AD|ARC (Administrative Data | Agricultural Research Collection)

The Administrative Data | Agricultural Research Collection (AD|ARC) is a complex research project involving four nations, a mixture of business-level, household-level and person-level data, and diverse partners, stakeholders and audiences. The project is creating independent but comparable Research Ready Datasets, using linked data for farm businesses, farmers and farm families in the four UK nations. The engagement and communications workstream is crucial to build trust, inform the programme of work, support and enhance scientific objectives, and deliver high-quality, relevant findings that meet stakeholder and funder expectations. The project deployed a bespoke engagement and communications framework to meet these objectives. This presentation shares key elements of AD|ARC project's engagement and communications framework and strategy: Multi-region Approach: Balancing the need for a harmonised, federated resource with respecting regional differences in data, trusted research environments, and stakeholder perspectives. Transparency and Trust: Engaging diverse stakeholders, including farmers, researchers, and policymakers, to build trust, support and legitimacy. Collaborative Decision-Making: Interacting with diverse partners, (data owners, researchers, research subject representatives) to refine research questions. Outreach and Dissemination: A multi-method, iterative approach to raise awareness, share and promote the project. Results are demonstrated by success in being selected as an ADR UK Flagship Dataset; integrating diverse perspectives into the creation of comparable Research Ready Datasets; consensus on a research programme; useful learning which is incorporated into strategy; and actionable evidence to inform policymaking. The presentation will reflect on lessons learned, drawing out implications for research and public engagement that could apply to any complex research project.
