Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the difficulties faced by social workers who work with elderly and disabled persons at the correctional facilities and to organize the actual situations in a systematic manner. Semi-structured interviews were conducted for 9 social workers through individual interviews and focus group interviews, and then the data were analyzed verbatim using a modified grounded-theory approach. From the analysis result, 12 difficult concepts were established and from the relationships between them, the concepts were collected into 5 categories: conflicts that prevent social work, difficulties with the system of correctional facilities, confusion caused by client behavior, confusion in preparing for regional adjustments to get out of a correctional facilities, and deadlock in support. In this research, predictions were made about the difficulties that could be faced in social work at the correctional facilities, and the characteristics of support at the correctional facilities were revealed.
