Social Worker's undertake psycho-social assessments and facilitate access to evidence-informed psychological and practical supports to optimize the physical, psychological, and social wellbeing of the community members in their care. Social workers employed at an aged and community care organization undertook a review of the gray and peer reviewed literature and did not identify any existing evidence-based tools. However, 10 key domains were identified from the search. Gaps in the domains were discovered, together with the need for guidance and prompts for less experienced staff and students. Five Social Workers, using co-design principles, reviewed the domains, and added further domains from their social work practice. An evidence-based assessment tool was developed which incorporated 11 domains. The tool can be used to assess the needs of people living in the community who are older and/or have compromised health and wellbeing. Further work is required to pilot test the tool.
社会工作者进行心理社会评估，并协助提供基于证据的心理和实际支持，以优化其照护对象的身体、心理和社会福祉。受雇于一家老年和社区护理组织的社会工作者对灰色文献和同行评审文献进行了综述，未发现任何现有的循证工具。然而，通过检索确定了10个关键领域。发现了这些领域中的差距，以及为经验不足的工作人员和学生提供指导和提示的必要性。五名社会工作者运用共同设计原则对这些领域进行了审查，并从他们的社会工作实践中补充了更多领域。开发了一种包含11个领域的循证评估工具。该工具可用于评估社区中老年人和/或健康及福祉受损者的需求。还需要进一步开展工作对该工具进行试点测试。
