Overview Think about ideas and questions you have related to social work practice. Ideas might include topics that already have been researched, new ideas for practice, program effectiveness, or intervention effectiveness. This literature review is an opportunity for you to establish a theoretical framework for research. Within this review, you will also articulate how you have addressed ethical and socially just, anti-oppressive practice in research, as well as diversity considerations. It is important to review a broad base of scholarly literature to ensure that your problem statement is sound and that your approach addresses your problem and is supported by research. You may need to alter your methodology or approach following the literature review. Description As you know, your literature review creates a theoretical foundation for your research and guides the development of your research question. As you research, be sure to consider multiple perspectives and theories, rather than simply viewing your idea through one lens. This ensures that you find the most reliable and accurate methodologies and theories to support your research proposal. Prior to beginning your literature review assignment, you will conduct a review of scholarly and peer-reviewed research from a variety of sources. You may use the Capella library and government websites as locations to begin research for your literature review. Instructions Preparation Select a topic related to social work that you are interested in addressing. Utilize at least five peer-reviewed journal articles published within the last 5 years. These articles should be specifically related to the topic you have selected for your study. Organize the information in your literature review as follows. Introduction Prepare the reader for what to expect by briefly summarizing the key points from each of the sections that follow. Research Question Identify your research questions and whether they are qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods. Sample qualitative research question: How can social service organizations promote self-care for their employees? Sample quantitative research question: How does salary level relate to productivity measures for clinical social workers? Sample mixed-method research question: How does teacher job satisfaction relate to student performance outcomes? Research Question: Socially Just and Diversity Considerations Respond to the following questions: How does your research question include considerations for diversity? (Bent-Goodley) How does your research question reflect the concerns of diverse populations? (Bent-Goodley) Who might be excluded and/or may not benefit from the research questions? (Paquin et al.) Nature of the Problem: Ethical, Socially Just, and Anti-Oppressive Considerations Describe the background of the topic you have identified. Be sure to cite your literature and address the following: Examine possible causes of the problem. Describe systemic factors that may contribute to the identified problem. (Danso) Identify at least three specific stakeholders you would want to include to further identify common needs and issues of the community. (Danso) Target Population and Intersectionality Describe the target population for your study. Then address the following: Describe how the literature you have selected is reflective of the population you plan to include in your study. (Bent-Goodley) Discuss how you might use an intersectionality framework in your research, clearly identifying at least one additional intersection of experience within the target population that should be considered. (Tajima) Positionality Create your positionality statement, being sure to include the following: Your “societal ascribed identities.” Personal life experiences, motivations, and connections. Any “insider-outsider” considerations. (Tajima) Summary Provide a brief review of each of the sections and point out the major areas of knowledge that have yet to be developed regarding your topic. Identify the unique contributions your study will make and point out the importance of learning the new information your study will offer.

Step 1:

• Select from one of the following case vignette outlined below. I choose the case study for this paper. A male aged (70 years old) married man was admitted to hospital following seizures. He was referred to the hospital social work team by the staff due to his evident self-neglect and concerns of his inability to care for himself.

Step 2:

Craft a real-life scenario building on this vignette. We will call this your case study. The development of this case study will be the focus of your assignment. This includes assigning names to family members and fabricating additional specifics. Students are encouraged to organize their case study into the following headings:

Client Identity (approx 1 page in length)

Potential areas of focus include;

• Ethnic identity
• Gender identity
• Sexual orientation
• Religious diversity and spirituality
• Response to dominant cultural

Belief System- (approx 1-2 pages)

Potential areas of focus include;

• Client Values
• Societal beliefs

Individual and Familial System- (approx 2 pages)

Potential areas of focus include

• Subsystems (family, home, relationships)
• Familial Systems
• Familial interactions and transactions
• Environmental pressures
• Interpersonal processes
• Micro,meso, exos, macro systems impacting the client
• Interconnectedness of systems

Step 3:

Write your case study. Students are encouraged to think as a real-life situation. Do not write using ‘ifs’. The length of this paper is left to the discretion of the submitting student, but it is anticipated that papers will be approximately five to six double-spaced, typed pages in length (in 12-point font with one-inch margins).

After you complete the readings and review the content for each module, you will answer discussion question(s) for each unit. In addition to your initial answer to the discussion question, you must also respond to at least two peers postings in each discussion board. Your post and your responses should be clear, concise and contain appropriate APA 7th edition citing and references. An APA cite and a reference should be included in your post when you provide any fact in your post. Providing facts without a cite and reference is considered plagiarism.

Everything has been attached for reference. Part D: SAMPLES! is the fourth part of your Personal Research Plan. Your goal is to build upon the questions you created by identifying what you believe is your best of six research questions. This question is what will guide you throughout the remainder of the semester. For this handout, your goal is to consider which population might be most suitable for being able to effectively answer your preferred research question. Please ensure I am able to determine what goes together in the bubble.

Assignment Description

Government policy impacts social justice problems. Some policies may create social justice problems just as they attempt to correct them. To successfully address social justice problems, social workers must have the knowledge and skills to locate, access, analyze, and interpret public policy.

Based on your analysis of the social justice problem in the Week 2 assignment, select a current enacted policy that is presently a law to analyze using relevant local, state, or federal policy resources. Your analysis must also address the problem that affects your chosen diverse cultural group (for example, based on race, religion, disabilities, gender orientation, socioeconomic status, or access to services). This will be the policy you analyze for not only this assignment, but the Weeks 6 and 9 assignments as well. Be sure to incorporate constructs that have been covered in this course into your analysis. You will compile all of the assignments you complete throughout the course in Week 9, so as you receive feedback for each assignment, revise your work as necessary.

If you need additional support for conducting your research, it may be useful to consult the following:
