Abstract

This study aims to explore effective intervention paths of school social work in optimizing the social support system for poor College Students in Shanxi Province, China. Adopting a qualitative research design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 2 education bureau leaders, 3 university funding center administrators, 5 counselors, 20 poor College Students, and 2 focus groups (10 students each) via purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using open coding, axial coding, and selective coding with ATLAS.ti software. The results identified three core statuses of the current social support system: government-dominated financial support, insufficient emotional support, and fragmented school-based support. Corresponding problems included a single support subject, unbalanced support content, and inefficient coordination mechanisms. Three effective intervention paths were proposed: constructing a multi-stakeholder collaborative support network, optimizing the structure of support content, and establishing an integrated school social work service mechanism. This study provides empirical evidence and practical references for improving the social support system for poor College Students and promoting the professional development of school social work in China.

Abstract

This literature review systematically examines the gendered dynamics of roles, professional identity, and community participation among female social workers. The analysis reveals that their distinctive empathetic and relational competencies significantly enhance service quality and community cohesion, yet simultaneously incur heavier emotional labor and professional vulnerabilities. Gender roles and stereotypes are found to shape their practice while imposing structural constraints. The study concludes that transforming these gendered strengths into sustainable professional capital necessitates supportive organizational environments and equitable career pathways, offering key implications for optimizing community practice and policy.
