Abstract

The aim of this study was to understand the difference between the image of social-workers and nurses perceived by middle school and high school students, and determine the experience related to social workers and the role of social workers projected in the media. The subjects of this study were 386 students of middle and high school located in S city. Data were collected from Oct. 15, 2013 to Nov. 23, 2013 and analyzed using the SPSS win 18.0 program. A comparison of the image of nurses and social workers in two groups showed that middle school students tended to have a more positive image of nurses than high school students, and the image of nurses appeared to be more positive than that of social workers. As a result of analyzing the contents exposed in media, the students received most of their information on social workers from TV. Therefore, it is necessary to have a strategy to help students choose a major or a job by reinforcing mass media monitoring based on TV, which may have a major impact on the image of social workers and provide them with the correct information on the profession.

본 연구는 중 고등학생들이 지각하는 사회복지사와 간호사에 대한 이미지 차이, 매체별 사회복지사 관련내용 경험, 매체를 통해 본 사회복지사의 역할을 파악하기 위해 시도된 조사연구이다. 연구대상은 경남 S시 소재 중 고등학생 386명으로 하였으며 자료수집기간은 2013년 11월 15일부터 11월 23일까지 실시하였고 SPSS win 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 중 고등학생들의 사회복지사와 간호사 이미지를 비교한 결과, 중학생이 고등학생 보다 간호사 이미지가 다소 긍정적으로 나타났으며 간호사 이미지가 사회복지사 이미지 보다 다소 긍정적으로 나타났다. 중 고등학생들의 매체별 사회복지사 관련 내용 경험을 분석 한 결과 TV가 가장 높게 나타났다. 따라서 사회복지사의 이미지에 중요한 영향을 미칠 수 있는 TV를 중심으로 한 대중매체 모니터링을 강화하고 향후 학생들에게 전공학과나 직업을 선택할 때 영향을 미칠 수 있는 전략이 필요하다.
