Introduction to Field Work

The term Field Work may be described as gaining experience by utilizing knowledge and developing skills to deal with the problems of human beings. Field Work in Social Work means any kind of practical experience in a social organization or agency.

Field work or Field Study is an important part of Social Work. The concept and all the problems of social studies are grasped and understood by working in the field the observations of the social worker in the field also plays an important role in the field work. Studying of thoughts is incomplete in paper unless and until their practical application and implication are observed and felt in the field practically.

Field work programme provides an opportunity to students to apply their theoretical knowledge taught in the class room appropriately in different practical situations. Similarly, it serves as a social laboratory where in a student tests his theoretical knowledge in practical situations and develops the skill for social living. It is a way to transform knowledge through certain skills for social living.

It is evident that fieldwork varies in quality and quantity. It is imparted under the supervision and guidance of trained and experienced persons (Faculty supervisor and Agency Supervisor) in social work.

In simple words it can be said that theory without practice is empty and practice without theory is meaningless

Meaning, Scope and nature of Social Case Work

Social case work means that process which develops personality through adjustment consciously affected, individual by individual, between men and their social environment. Perlman (1957) says case work is a process used by certain human welfare agencies to help the individuals to cope up more effectively with their problems in social functioning.

The practice of social case work is a humanistic attempt for helping people who have difficulty in coping with the problems of daily living. It is one of the direct methods which uses case by case approach for dealing with individuals. Social case work is primarily related with psychosocial problems. It consists of the study of mental, emotional, and social factors.

Every social problem is the outcome of many external and internal factors. Therefore when we deal with the individual problems, we also have to deal with his experiences and reaction towards his problems. In social case work an individual, group, situation or phenomena is recognized as a unit of study and various aspects of the unity are studied properly. In it the social object preserves the unitary character

Case Work as a Method of Social Work

Social case work is a primary method of Social Work, related to psychosocial problems. It consists of the study of mental emotional and social factor. The practice of case work is a humanistic attempt for helping people who have difficulties in coping with the problems of daily living. It is one of the direct method of social work which uses the case by case approach for dealing with individuals or families as regards their problems of social functioning.

The process of social case work involves the study of individual problem in its total setting. It is concerned with the understanding of individuals as whole personalities and with the adjustment of these individuals to socially

Role of case work in disabilities

Disable persons are the weaker sections of our society and needs proper care and

opportunities so that they cannot feel isolated from the society. Every person has a

greater role in the upliftment of the disabled persons, so is the role of the

professional Social worker. The social case worker uses scientific techniques and

skills to provide services to the differently able persons.

Serious illness and disability account for many of the problems addressed by social services. In addition to the need for adequate primary care, the ill and disabled also frequently face disruption or loss of income, inability to meet family responsibilities, the long-term process of recovery or adjustment to handicaps, and ongoing care in the form of medication, therapy, and the observance of dietary or other precautions.

In some countries, medical social workers are local-authority social workers who have been attached to hospitals, local general-practice health centres, and child guidance agencies. They provide the counseling and other supportive services required by the physically ill and the disabled and their families. Especially in countries where free medical care is not available to the poor, the responsibility for means-testing gives the workers an additional, advisory role with respect to their clients' financial problems. Personal social services make arrangements for domiciliary care in the form of regular visits from home-helpers and occupational therapists; special appliances and home adaptations are supplied either by personal social services or by health services. In the case of severely disabled people personal social services run day-care centres to provide relief for family care providers and small residential homes for the most dependent disabled when they no longer require hospital care.

Case work process

Investigation(intake study)

Intake is the administrative process which starts with the forst encounter and

ends usually with the second interview either with the case worker or the intake worker. This stage is very crucial and it requires a very skillfull probing into clients problem gathering all the relevant information about the person. The intake worker focuses on certain questions like

What are the needs of person?

How and where his needs can be met?

The nature of the request, Does the request relates directly with the needs?

His occupation. The person who is accompany him.

The level of frequency in which he is talking.

His appearance? Dress? Level of language frequency? etc

These questions give a broad picture of the person and other areas. The intake procedure if implemented properly helps the agency to avoid wastage of resources, frustration to the client and helps in utilizing time in a better way.

Study: Study is the process of gathering all the possible information of the client.

It requires an analysis of social, psychological and biological determinants of the clients current stressful situation. It may seek to include historical data on related past life experiences and facts responsible. These are some methods of data collection for study, they are observation, interview, home visits, and recording.

Preliminary Study

The background of the above case was studied carefully. A thorough reading from the case file of the agency was made. Certain information was collected from the members of the department, and I thought over the entire case to understand the logic reason of the problem of my client.

First Meeting with the client:

On 08th June 2011, I was assigned the case and Dr Vinod accompanied with me

and introduced my work with the departmental head. During the first meeting my

client was very silent. This was natural because he was meeting the caseworker, a

virtual stranger, for the first time. He did not know anything about the caseworker.

Normally no one would like to discuss personal problems with unknown person.

Being the first visit I decided to introduce myself to him, to make him feel I was

his friend, philosopher, and enabler. Generally the friendship cannot be developed

in one meeting but to begin with one has to try to make the other feel that he is

interested in being a friend. Friendship develops on the basis of nature like

mindedness, interests, feelings, positive attitudes, good approaches and the like so

to strike a relation of friendship with him I decided to understand his interests likes

and dislikes. All efforts were put in to create a cordial atmosphere and I managed

to create a feeling of assurance in him.

It was the the first meeting and I decided not to take a lot of time.I asked

her to come tomorrow so that I will get more information and she agreed.

Page 23: CASE WORK REPORT, By Mir Mehboob

Second Meeting with the client:

In the second meeting when I enter into the agency she was laying on her bed and

was looking fresh and waiting for me to come to the agency. I was very happy to

see this and I got confidence and this was a sign of acceptance as a friend. I take

this opportunity and started communicate with my client as :

Caseworker: How are you feeling nowadays?

Client: better to some extent. But I am not feeling well properly.

Caseworker: are you having pain all the day:

Client: no! but whenever I carry anything I get severe pain, it is a big problem, I

cannot help my daughter in law in house hold work. I do not want to be burden on

them.

Caseworker: Please can you tell me about that accident.

Client: She said some 17 years before I was at home and somebody told me that

grenade explosion has happened in Srinagar in which my husband had injured. I

went to the hospital by the motor cycle and on the way I fell from it.\

Caseworker: didn’t you get the immediate treatment after the accident?

Page | 23

Page 24: CASE WORK REPORT, By Mir Mehboob

Client: No my dear, the conditions were very bad. I was unable to meet the doctor.

His death broke me and make me all alone. I just wanted to die at that time. But

who can change the fate.

She got nervous and I don’t want to play with her emotions I tolerated the situation

taking into consideration the principle of controlled emotional involvement and

diverted her attention towards the day’s climate.

She told me that she has to left for some personal matter.

Page 25: CASE WORK REPORT, By Mir Mehboob

Home Visit

Home visit in simpler terms means to make a visit to clients home on his consent. The importance of family has been well recognized by the personnel in social work especially in the study of emotional, social and physical aspects of family life is necessary to plan the treatment effectively. It is also very important to gather sufficient details of information so that our prediction has less chance of being based on prejudices and this is achieved easily and effectively through home visits

Home visits aim at therapeutic, sustaining and preventive measures as well. At the W.H.O. European conference on Mental Hygiene Practice 1959 it was recommended that home visits should be used for diagnostic purposes as well as for treatment and supervision of long term patients in their own homes

By home visit one sees the environment in which the patient lives observes family and other relevant social interactions at first hand and develops a fuller diagnostic understanding of the patient for appropriate treatment planning. Home visit has thus become an effective tool in total treatment programme.

Page 26: CASE WORK REPORT, By Mir Mehboob

Home visit of my client

Before the visit my client has asked me to take the consent of my son . I make a one call to her son and asked wether I would come or not. His son give me a permission. I along my co-workers left from the agency. It was about 12 km’s away from the agency. We knocked the door of my client’s house and two members of the come out, I told about myself and my purpose. They welcome us and asked to come in.

I asked about my client’s health and presence.

They replied that she has went to agency for her daily exercise and said she has recovered to some extent.

Then I discussed with her daughter in law as:

Caseworker: is there any behavioral change since accident?

Daughter in law: A lot of change has happened from that time, especially after her surgeries. She often shows a rude behavior and lose her temperament

Caseworker: I asked her about the cause of Beeba’s problem?

Daughter in law: she replied the same storey as my client had described earlier

Caseworker: is there any medical intervention going on?

Daughter in law: yes she replied. She goes for checkup every week. Our families half income is spent on her

Poor economic conditions

Page | 27

Page 28: CASE WORK REPORT, By Mir Mehboob

Interviews with neighbors:

I enquired about the case from the neighbors who gave the different picture about my clients condition. I came to know that from last eight years their condition were very poor. They would have not proper meals, medication for Beeba, after the death of her husband their condition changed as he was the only earning hand of the family.

She must be linked to any governmental scheme for financial assistance so that she may have proper medication. Her neighbors are very helpful and are always ready to help her in one or the other way.

Page 29: CASE WORK REPORT, By Mir Mehboob

Diagnosis

“Diagnosis: the client seeks help to solve his problem. To solve problems, one must know the cases. The diagnostic process helps in organizing these causative factors in one whole, thereby making it more meaningful. One can see the whole and its parts in relation to each other

According to Perlman 1957 diagnosis process involves examining the part of a problem for their particular nature and organization, for the inter relationships among them, for the relation between them and the means of their solution. Thus the diagnostic process according to her includes the conclusions this process leads to, stating that the trouble seems to be, how it is related to goal, and what means the agency, case worker and client himself can bring to bear upon the trouble.”

Diagnosis of my client

Apart from her physical disability It was diagnosed that my client is having:

Depression: because of the poor economic condition and hypertension my client often remains in depression

Page | 29

Page 30: CASE WORK REPORT, By Mir Mehboob

Extrovert person: she talks with me too much showing her extrovertness

Sensitive person: my client was full of emotions and was unable to control her emotions

Treatment

The purpose, for which social study and psychosocial assessment (diagnosis) are undertaken, is case work intervention (treatment). The first stage in intervention involves planning. The questions to be answered by the worker at this stage are: “what kind of Treatment will best stabiles or improve the clients functioning or better meet his needs?” in terms of the social adaptation or adjustment, which will be of most value to him?” it is important to stress, however that each step in treatment must be taken jointly with the client since he is the person who will ultimately determine his engagement in this process. The aptitude, skills, and knowledge of the individual worker may promote the treatment process.

Plan of treatment

The first help my requires is remove the gap between my client and her daughter-in-law. Make him a member of the family. The treatment plan should be of long run. Therefore such a problem should be solved effectively. Taking all the conditions into account, a proper treatment plan was to be prepared.

The treatment plan reads as:

1: It was necessary to render family counseling. As this counseling was required to create a favorable atmosphere of my client as she was in

Page | 30

Page 31: CASE WORK REPORT, By Mir Mehboob

deep trouble. It was necessary to make her relations with her family members good.

2: To link client with social welfare department. I linked my client with the social welfare department which will provide her widow pension scheme monthly

3: motivated her in building self confidence

Counseling: Counseling is a process to assist to the individuals in

understanding himself vis a vis his situation and problems, in exploring alternate solutions, in taking most appropriate decisions in the situation, and in enhancing his capacity to solve problems independently. Counseling is not possible without rapport and effective communication. No attempt is made in counseling to go deeper into the personality pattern of the counselee. The system of study, assessment, goal formation, treatment planning, treatment and termination of social case work is not followed in counseling. Interviewing techniques in counseling are the same as are used in case work.

The counselor like the case worker works with the counselee to adjust to the situation though he never tries to change the situation of the counselee. Counseling also enables the counselee to solve his future problems on his own that is it leads to self counseling .Counseling also helped to remove all the misunderstanding between the two families.

Being a fresh student of social work it was difficult for me to counsel the clients family. So before going into the family of my client a counseling session was planned. with the help of social work skills and techniques I removed the gap between the client and her daughter in law and there was a change in both and a favourable atmosphere was created.

Page | 31

Page 32: CASE WORK REPORT, By Mir Mehboob

Termination and evaluation

As my client was processing well I think that I should terminate the case, but I also suggested her to have a close contact with the agency for her regular exercises and also to present herself before the social welfare department per month so as to get widow pension.

The purpose of evaluation as a process of case work is to see If our rwork are yielding any result or not. If the techniques used are serving the purpose and if the goals are being achieved. The process of intervention designed by me was to some extent was result oriented and each cause of action resulted into a desired reaction. I will do the further follow-ups and the rehabilitation process is still going on.

Suggestions

Family should not take disabled persons the as burden, they should support them.

Transport facilities should be provided to disabled persons

Proper awareness about different schemes for disabled

Provide recreational facilities

Page 36: CASE WORK REPORT, By Mir Mehboob

Limitations The time period was limited to 13 visits only.

There was no proper record of clients in the agency.

Lack of infrastructure

Page | 36

Page 37: CASE WORK REPORT, By Mir Mehboob

conclusion

A disabled person should be treated as friendly. We should not consider them as a burden rather we should treat them in such a way so that they will not feel themselves as dependent. We should treat the disabled person just like any other member of the family. He/She should be not rejected,because with proper training a disabled can take care himself/herself if given a chance. We should always be empathetic towards the disabled persons.
