Abstract

Women's well-being determines the health of the next generation. Globally, 6,000 children under five die daily and an additional 950 Nigerian children die daily from preventable diseases. These diseases lead to deaths and complications. Social workers as change agents work as perinatal workers in other to help in alleviating most health challenges faced by women and children. Perinatal social workers act as helpers to individuals, families, and communities to enable them to respond to the various psychosocial issues that tend to emerge during the period from pre-pregnancy through an infant’s first year of life. The study utilized a secondary method of data collection and the data was analyzed and discussed. This study recommends that social workers in perinatal health care should be actively involved and included in daily maternal and child health care activities to improve their care and well-being to promote health and prevent diseases. The Nigerian government needs to reinforce their commitments to achieving immunity for its citizens especially women and children by stepping up safe and effective vaccine procurement efforts.

Abstract

Application of theories in social work practice is not new. The profession of social work is a helping one. Subversion on the other hand attempts to transform the established social order and its structures of power, authority and hierarchy. It is the process by which the values and principles of a system in place are contradicted or reversed. So, what is obtainable as social work in the Western world is adjusted in an attempt to indigenize social work in Nigeria. This article reports on an exploratory study of ecological theory and social learning theory in practicing subversive social work. The study found that ecological theory enables the social worker understand the culture while social learning theory helps in understanding the behavioural and adjustment patterns of clients through modeling and imitation. This study recommends that the curriculum of social work has room for subversion and indigenization and also, lenses should be put on core social work theories that promote the core values, principles, methods and roles of social workers.
