Area of Science:

  • Social Work
  • Healthcare Practice
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is crucial for effective social work.
  • Understanding social workers' current EBP knowledge and application is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the knowledge, skills, and utilization of Evidence-Based Practice among social workers.
  • To identify factors influencing EBP adoption in social work practice settings.

Main Methods:

  • An electronic survey was administered to 200 social work practitioners.
  • Data collection focused on EBP knowledge, skills, and usage patterns.

Main Results:

  • Social workers in their 30s and 40s exhibited the highest levels of EBP knowledge and application.
  • A significant majority reported awareness of social work research databases, but a smaller proportion utilized these online resources in practice.

Conclusions:

  • Age appears to correlate with higher EBP knowledge and use in social workers.
  • A gap exists between social workers' awareness of research databases and their active utilization in practice.
  • Findings contribute to understanding social work EBP perceptions and application.
