| Summary: | 碩士 === 東吳大學 === 社會工作學系 === 94 === As a freshman in the profession of child-protection, Writer attempted to study
and comprehended about this highly stressed field, which often demands working
experiences, yet holds a high turnover rate of staff. Writer pursued this research by
studying the persisting social workers regarding their ways of viewing
work-related-difficulties, their coping strategies, and their viewpoints towards the
field of social work. This study adapted a qualitative researching method, and
collected data via detailed interviews with ten child-protection social workers from
the great Taipei area. The results are listed as followed:
1. The difficulties in child-protection works generated from the lack of resources
within the system, large amount of cases, and the discrepancy in recognition of
child-protection inside the network. Hence it resulted in the gap of cooperation
and caused the lack of acknowledgements of child-protection in the public.
2. Child-protection social workers usually experienced different phases from initial
to later, and consequently different perspectives and values would be formed
accordingly. Those who remained in this career did not consider the work of
child-protection only as a work, but also as an ultimate goal that they could
continuously look forward and seek for.
3. These social workers in the child-protection system recognized the importance
and value of social work, since mutual help is essential for the society.
However, they believed that it is unavailing to advertise the professionalism of
this field. Social work should emphasize on the irreplacibility of itself, and not
on whether it is specialized or not.
The objective of this study was attempting to provide advices to the beginning
social workers in the child-protection field, to social work study, to the social work
profession and to the child-protection organizations. This study also aimed to provide
references for the social work training in the area of child-protection for the future.
