The aim of this study is to explore the subjective and practical experiences of international social workers, focusing on the content, outcomes, impact, and related factors of their activities in Asia. Individual reports of social workers dispatched from Japan to 11 Asian countries during the period of 2003–2018 were collected (n = 59). A mixed quantitative and qualitative content analysis was used to examine their experiences and perceptions in the field. Parts of their reports were categorized mainly into the relationship between requested activities and perceived needs, the type of social work activities conducted, experiences of success and failure in activities, and perceived outcomes and impact of the activities. The quantitative analysis showed that approximately 48.9% of the social workers described positive outcomes of their activities and 43.9% described positive impacts of their activities on the placement or communities. The qualitative analysis revealed that they experienced a variety of difficulties, together with sociocultural and religious differences. Many of their experiences of success or failure appeared to be associated with their interactions with local stakeholders. The findings suggest the importance of the reflective and contextualized practice of international developmental social workers with local stakeholders.

探索亚洲国际社会工作者的主观体验：日本实地报告的内容分析

本研究旨在探讨国际社会工作者的主观和实践经验，重点关注他们在亚洲活动的内容、结果、影响和相关因素。收集了 2003-2018 年期间从日本派遣到 11 个亚洲国家的社会工作者的个人报告（n = 59）。使用混合的定量和定性内容分析来检查他们在该领域的经验和看法。他们报告的部分内容主要分为所要求的活动与感知需求之间的关系、所开展的社会工作活动的类型、活动成功和失败的经验以及活动的感知结果和影响。定量分析表明，大约 48.9% 的社会工作者描述了他们活动的积极成果，43.9% 描述了他们的活动对安置或社区的积极影响。定性分析表明，他们经历了各种困难，以及社会文化和宗教差异。他们的许多成功或失败经历似乎都与他们与当地利益相关者的互动有关。研究结果表明，国际发展社会工作者与当地利益相关者进行反思和情境化实践的重要性。
