| Résumé : |
"Placement co-ordinators on college-based social work courses have a demanding task, liaising with students, tutors and agency training sections in order to provide appropriate practice learning opportunities. They cope with long established limitations on the quantity and quality of placements. Therefore, the role would appear to be a stressful one. This research examines job satisfaction, pressure and constraints, psychological well-being, the impact of the host institution, and some changes that might alleviate stress. A postal questionnaire was sent to all placement co-ordinators on college-based social work courses in the UK. The findings indicated that small numbers of placement co-ordinators experienced high levels of stress to the point of suffering from ‘borderline’ anxiety and depression. Stress scores for placement co-ordinators as a whole, however, were lower than those of the general UK population. The co-ordinators enjoyed considerable autonomy and a reasonable amount of support. Generally, they had positive attitudes towards the institutions where they worked. Males tended to emphasize the importance of the institutional context rather than females. However, around half of the placement co-ordinators had considered giving up their posts; only about a quarter liked their work. Respondents enjoyed only limited job satisfaction, felt pressurized, subject to excessive demands and were ambivalent in attitudes about managers, colleagues, students and practice teachers." |
