This article reports the findings of a qualitative study that examined 124 social work students' views on the causes and dynamics of domestic violence and their recommended interventions in a case scenario. Most students graduated from the master of social work (MSW) program with a mental health perspective on domestic violence. Only a small percentage were aware of specific interventions for domestic violence and many continued to attribute domestic violence to mental health and substance abuse problems in the victim and perpetrator. Graduates with domestic violence experience varied little from their peers in suggested domestic violence interventions or comments about the causes of domestic violence. The findings suggest that a deliberate, focused attempt to inform students about domestic violence is needed, rather than a reliance on general MSW courses. Keywords social work students, perspectives on domestic violence, interventions in domestic violence scenario AbstractThis article presents research on social work graduates' views on the causes of domestic violence and interventions in domestic violence cases. Domestic violence continues to be a multifaceted problem that an estimated 22% of women experience over their lifetimes (Thoennes & Tjaden, 2000). Many people believe that a woman's behavior can contribute to intimate partner violence, some believe that women want to be abused, and a large majority believe that women can easily leave abusive relationships (Worden & Carlson, 2005). Overall, most people believe that the causes

The population of most non-dominant ethnic groups in the USA is growing dramatically. Faculty members are challenged to develop curricula that adequately prepare our future nurses. An increased focus on clinical ethics has resulted from the use of sophisticated technology, changes in health care financing, an increasing elderly population and the shift of care from inpatient to outpatient settings. Nurses frequently face situations demanding resolution of ethical dilemmas involving cultural differences. Nursing curricula must include content on both ethics and cultural sensitivity. Active student participation is an important element providing a foundation for ethical practice. A proposed educational format was introduced with graduating baccalaureate students. In a pilot study, curricular content on cultural sensitivity and ethical practice was taught in separate modules. Students were then asked to identify and problem solve an ethical dilemma involving patients and professional caregivers from vastly different cultures. Course faculty members provided discussion questions to guide the students' thinking.

“…Caroff and Mailick's (1985) survey of graduate social work programs found a movement toward the development of health care concentrations in schools of social work. However, the more current study conducted by Kadushin and Egan (1997) indicated that 30% of graduate social work programs did not offer a health care practice course.…”

“…Hence, rather than evolving to meet societal demands, it appears that schools of social work continue to struggle with balancing universal needs and those of particular groups (Kadushin & Egan, 1997;Markward, 1999;Strom & Gingerich, 1993). As a result, AIDS-specific courses have historically failed to be justified as a priority within schools of social work Ross, 1994).…”
