Özet:

 The qualified development of the social work profession and discipline requires that professional practices be based on evidence by advancing on a scientific basis. The attitudes, knowledge and skills of social workers regarding research are at a point that directly affects professional practice. These reasons make it necessary to investigate various variables related to scientific research in terms of social work. Based on this basic reason, this research aims to determine and examine the anxiety of social workers towards scientific research and their attitudes towards scientific research. In the study in which 274 social workers participated, demographic information form, Research-Oriented Anxiety Scale AYKÖ, Attitude towards Scientific Research Scale BATÖ were used as data collection tools. In the research, data were collected through internet forms and the obtained data were analyzed with SPSS and JAMOVI programs. Mann-Whitney U, Pearson Correlation and Kruskal-Wallis One-Way ANOVA tests were used in the analysis. According to the findings, female participants had higher scores on the sub-dimensions of Unwillingness to Help Researchers AYOI and Negative Attitudes towards Scientific Research BAYOT- than male participants. It was concluded that the education level and economic status of the participants created a significant difference in their Positive Attitude towards Scientific Research BAYOT score, which is the sub-dimension of AYKÖ and BATÖ. It has been evaluated that the findings and discussions as a result of the research will contribute to the strengthening of a scientific basis of the social work profession and discipline and its development with evidence-based practices.

 Sosyal hizmet meslek ve disiplinin nitelikli gelişimi, mesleki uygulamaların bilimsel bilgilere dayanan bir temel üzerinden ilerleyerek kanıtlara dayanmasını gerektirmektedir. Sosyal hizmet uzmanlarının araştırmalara ilişkin tutum, bilgi ve becerisi doğrudan mesleki uygulamayı da etkileyen bir noktadadır. Bu nedenler, sosyal hizmet açısından bilimsel araştırmalara ilişkin çeşitli değişkenlerin araştırılmasını gerekli kılmaktadır. Buna dayanarak yürütülen bu araştırma, sosyal hizmet uzmanlarının bilimsel araştırma yapmaya yönelik kaygı ve bilimsel araştırmalara yönelik tutumlarının belirlenmesi ve incelenmesi amacı taşımaktadır. 274 sosyal hizmet uzmanının katıldığı araştırmada veri toplama araçları olarak demografik bilgi formu, Araştırmaya Yönelik Kaygı Ölçeği AYKÖ, Bilimsel Araştırmaya Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği BATÖ kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada, veriler internet formlar aracılığıyla toplanmış ve elde edilen veriler SPSS ve JAMOVI programları ile analiz edilmiştir. Analizlerde Mann-Whitney U, Pearson Korelasyonu ve Kruskal-Wallis One-Way ANOVA testlerinden faydalanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre kadın katılımcıların erkek katılımcılara göre BATÖ alt boyutları olan Araştırmacılara Yardımcı Olmaya İsteksizlik AYOİ ve Bilimsel Araştırmalara Yönelik Olumsuz Tutum BAYOT- puanları daha yüksektir. Katılımcıların eğitim seviyesi ve ekonomik durumu AYKÖ puanında ve BATÖ alt boyutu olan Bilimsel Araştırmalara Yönelik Olumlu Tutum BAYOT puanında anlamlı bir farklılık yarattığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Araştırma neticesinde ulaşılan bulgular ve yapılan tartışmaların sosyal hizmet meslek ve disiplininin bilimsel bir temelinin güçlenmesinde ve kanıta dayalı uygulamalar ile gelişmesine katkı sağlayacağı değerlendirilmiştir.
