国际现场实习是社会工作专业学生在全球化世界中培养社会工作实践所需技能的独特教育机会;然而，国际实习的结果尚未得到严格研究。本文报告的国际志愿人员影响调查（IVIS），一个48项调查管理的983名受访者，衡量国际服务的感知成果。使用因子分析程序，作者评估了国际服务的主要成果的因子结构和可靠性，包括国际联系，开放的心态，国际理解，跨文化关系，生活计划，公民活动，社区参与，媒体关注度和财政贡献。IVIS的进一步发展和使用它来评估学生在国际社会工作领域的安置成果的影响进行了讨论。
International field placements are a unique educational opportunity for social work students to develop the skills they need for social work practice in a globalized world; however, outcomes of international placements have not been rigorously studied. This article reports on the International Volunteer Impacts Survey (IVIS), a 48-item survey administered to 983 respondents that measures perceived outcomes of international service. Using factor analysis procedures, the authors assess factor structure and reliability of major outcomes of international service including international contacts, open-mindedness, international understanding, intercultural relations, life plans, civic activism, community engagement, media attentiveness, and financial contributions. Further development of the IVIS and the implications for using it to assess student outcomes in international social work field placements are discussed.
