Practice Guidelines: Rapprochement or Estrangement Between Social Work Practitioners and Researchers

Abstract: The authors take issue with the claims made by Howard and Jenson and raise concerns regarding practice guidelines within social work practice, implications for social work education, and ethical issues.

“…Developments will also be shaped by the policy environment. Some of the scepticism of social workers has been that guidelines are infl uenced as much by cost-containment agendas as by impartial consideration of scientifi c evidence (Wambach et al, 1999). In the production of the NICE-SCIE dementia guideline the development group found themselves embroiled in political and legal confrontation between the NHS and pharmaceutical industry about whether anticholinesterase drugs were cost effective and affordable: a case study of the political economy of evidence-based practice waiting to be written.…”

The latter quotation is from a landmark special issue of the principal US social work journal, Research on Social Work Practice , which brought together articles from protagonists within the practice guideline debate.…”

“…Prior to the development of EBP within social work, many proclaimed the need for practitioners to use scientific methods to evaluate their practice, while keeping current with the latest innovations from research (Kirk, 1999;Thyer, 1996;Whittaker, 2002 (Gibbs & Gambrill, 2002;Gira, Kessler, & Poertner, 2004;Raines, 2004;Rosen, 2003;Wambach, Haynes, & White, 1999).…”

“…In other words, they were using some of the processes associated with EBP in selecting interventions, but they were not using EBP as a set of steps or a way of organizing their practice. (Rosen, 2003;Wambach et al, 1999;Zayas et al, 2003). It is important to note that consultation of practice guidelines, often developed by systematic reviews of the scientific literature, is one of several steps in the adoption of EBP.…”
