Social Work Students' Attitudes Concerning the Use of Religious and Spiritual Interventions in Social Work Practice

Abstract

The importance of religion and spirituality for the social work profession is evident in many areas, including social work education. There is little empirical evidence that explores the importance of spirituality and religion for their students. This project surveyed three unique schools of social work in university settings in an attempt to provide information concerning the personal religious and spiritual beliefs of social work students as well as their attitudes toward religious and spiritual interventions in social work practice. Results indicate that religious and spiritual beliefs and regional culture are important for predicting attitudes toward use of religious and spiritual interventions.
