“…This finding indicates that, despite social worker's need to justify their role in the mental health field (Campbell et al, 2006;O'Brien & Calderwood, 2010;Proctor, 2004), they have a significant role to play.…”

Objective: Using Canadian survey data this research provides social workers in Canada with a better understanding of their role in the Canadian mental health care system. Methods: By analyzing data from the Canadian Community Health Survey, Cycle 1.2 Mental Health and Well-being, the role of social workers in the Canadian mental health system was determined. Results: Findings indicated that social workers were accessed third most frequently for mental health care. While a variety of individuals accessed care from social workers, those of different sexes, ages, education, and income levels did so at significantly different rates. Conclusion: Social workers should adjust services to include those less likely to access care who may benefit from it, while maintaining services for current clients.

“…I en senare genomförd studie i Kanada framkommer att socialarbetarna inte tvingats välja den ena inriktningen framför den andra. De ansvariga forskarna menar dock att socialarbetarnas strävan att förena dessa båda roller kan vara en bidragande faktor till deras marginalisering i sina respektive kliniska kontexter (O'Brien & Calderwood 2010). Även i Australien ses det som en stor utmaning för socialarbetarna inom den psykiatriska vården att både behålla sitt kritiska samhällsperspektiv och samtidigt bli accepterade i den kliniska, individuellt orienterade kontexten (Renouf & Bland 2005).…”

I de flesta vuxenpsykiatriska team ingår en eller flera socionomer, vars psykosociala syn- och arbetssätt ses som ett väsentligt inslag i en huvudsakligen medicinsk kontext. De senaste årens utveckling på psykiatriområdet har ställt dem inför nya utmaningar med ökade krav på att tydliggöra sin yrkesroll och legitimera sin existens inom vården.I denna artikel diskuteras hur ett antal socionomer beskriver och värderar sitt specifika bidrag i det professionella teamarbetet.

IntroductionLeadership skills are an integral part of effective social work practice in health and mental healthcare settings. Social workers require critical leadership skills to effectively support, treat and advocate for the complex needs of those most vulnerable. Despite an increasing focus on social work leadership within the last decade, there has been a paucity of research on social work leadership competencies within the realm of health and mental health service provision. To bridge this gap, this scoping review will synthesise and map the current literature on social work leadership competencies in health and mental healthcare.Methods and analysisArksey and O’Malley’s five-stage framework for scoping reviews will guide our search of six academic databases including: PsycINFO, OVID Social Work Abstracts, OVID Medline, Sociological Abstracts, Social Services Abstracts and CINAHL Plus with Full Text. Selected articles that meet inclusion criteria will then be reviewed and charted. Recurrent themes will be reviewed through a qualitative thematic analysis, and reported in both text and figures.Ethics and disseminationFindings will highlight key social work leadership competencies as they relate to social work practice, team dynamics, and client outcomes within health and mental healthcare. Material retrieved in this scoping review was selected from publicly available sources, and thus as an obtrusive research method, this review does not warrant ethics approval. Findings from this review will be disseminated through published scholarly material, as well as presented at conferences pertaining to social work research, practice and education.
