Genuine interest in other cultures is not to be discounted. The sharing of ideas, traditions, and material items is what makes life interesting and helps diversify the world. It is the intention that remains most important and something everyone can remain conscious of as we learn from others. | ||
| Start where the social worker is: Perceptions of clinical licensure in Nebraska:(Spring 2022): 2021-22 (2907) | Health and Wellness | Omni Inventive Care (Formerly Omni Behavioral Health) | Social Work | Engaged Research | None | None | Spring | 2021-22 | None | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | The published research on social workers’ perception of clinical licensure is sparse, with most available research exploring licensure from the perspective of social work faculty, students, or field education supervisors. This exploratory survey research seeks to contribute to the limited information available by evaluating the perceptions of clinical licensure from social workers (N = 519) and comparing social workers’ perceptions to other mental health professionals (OMHP) (N = 624). The results indicate agreement between respondents that licensure is important and that universities value licensing. Most consider that universities should be evaluated based on whether students pass licensing exams and that faculty should be licensed. Many social workers report confusion about licensing and feel ill-prepared to take a licensing exam. There are significant differences between social workers and OMHP in several areas. Additionally, differences are distinct between White and non-White social workers’ perception of universities’ ability to prepare them for licensing exams. | ||||
