Abstract

The study aimed to identify the pressures of field training and their relationship to the training outcomes in the professional practice areas of social work among students at the Higher Institute of Social Work in Benha. The sample included 262 students, of whom 143 were female and 119 were male. The results showed that field training pressures were generally high, while the training outcomes were low. The study also revealed a statistically significant inverse relationship between training pressures and outcomes, indicating that as pressures increased, the training outcomes decreased. The study found statistically significant differences between males and females in the level of pressures, with females experiencing higher pressures. Additionally, there were differences based on residence, with students from rural areas facing higher pressures. There were also differences related to the distance between home and the training institution, with pressures increasing as the distance increased. On the other hand, no statistically significant differences were found between males and females in training outcomes, but there were differences favoring students from urban areas. Furthermore, the results revealed differences in training outcomes related to the distance between home and the training institution. The study recommended the need to develop a future vision to address field training pressures to improve the training outcomes for students in field training institutions.
