Abstract
This study explored how social media platforms impact social workers in their field of practice. The study utilized a quantitative survey research design that asked participants to respond to questionnaire items using a Likert scale. Participants (n=30) were selected via convenience and snowball sampling and were asked to respond to survey question items regarding their perspective towards using social media networking sites. Data analysis showed that there was only one statistically significant association between field practice experiences and practitioners who used social media to find evidence to use for professional work purposes. Implications for the social work practice and policy are discussed.
