老姜是一家工厂的工人,近期工厂进行改革,精减人员,老姜下岗了。老姜的妻子在制药厂工作,就在老姜下岗后不久,妻子因为所在的制药厂破产也面临着失业。妻子的身体有残疾,很难再找到工作,女儿正在外地读大学,费用很高,家庭生活越来越困难。老姜也曾尝试去找过工作,但他的要求较高,希望能找一份自己喜欢的工作,收入还要高,而老姜又没什么专业技能,所以总是碰壁。找不到工作的老姜,情绪越来越坏,经常和妻子吵架,在外地读书的女儿知道家里的情况后,很担心,但又无能为力。老姜觉得自己的家庭情况符合享受城市低保的条件,于是到社区去申请低保,工作人员需要了解老姜家庭的具体情况,老姜对此非常不理解,觉得工作人员在有意为难他,对工作人员的态度非常恶劣。社会工作者李阳了解到老姜的家庭情况后,认为老姜符合申请低保的条件,帮助其申请了城市低保。同时,李阳多次与老姜进行沟通,帮助他一起分析自身条件和面临的就业压力及家庭生活情况,让他降低就业要求。经过李阳的努力,老姜对自己有了正确的认识,并且在李阳的帮助下在一家酒店做保洁工作,有了稳定的经济收入,老姜的家庭经济状况慢慢好转。同时,李阳还帮老姜的妻子联系了社区的康复机构,定期会有专业的工作人员上门为其指导康复。一年后,老姜退出了低保,还特意到居委会表示感谢。 在本案例中,社会工作者采用的个案工作具有哪些特点

Passage Three Health-care services will account for almost one-fifth of all job growth during the 1996~2005 period. Home health-care aids will assist the elderly, disabled, and seriously ill in the patient’s home instead of a health facility. A large number of openings for this field is expected due to very rapid growth and high turnover. In fact, home health-care aids are expected to more than double in number by the end of 2005. Part of the reason for this increase is the growing population of elderly people. The number of people in their 70s and older is projected to rise substantially. This age group is characterized by mounting health problems that require assistance. There will also be an increasing reliance on home care for patients of all ages. This trend reflects several developments: Efforts to contain (抑制,控制) costs by moving patients out of hospitals and nursing facilities as quickly as possible; the realization that treatment can be more effective in familiar surroundings; and the development of portable medical equipment for in-home treatment. Turnover in this field is high, which is a reflection of the relatively low skill requirements, low pay, and high emotional demands of the work. Therefore, people who are interested in this work and properly suited for it should have excellent job opportunities, particularly those with previous experience. Physical therapy, too, is predicted to increase rapidly through 2005. A growing population of elderly people, who are vulnerable to chronic and debilitating (虚弱的) conditions, means that more therapeutic services will be needed. More young people will also need physical therapy as medical advances save the lives of a larger proportion of newborns with severe birth defects. Growth will also result from advances in medical technology that permit the treatment of more disabling conditions. In the past, for example, the development of hip and knee replacements for those with arthritis gave rise to employment for physical therapists to improve flexibility and strengthen weak muscles. The growing interest in health promotion should also increase the demand for physical therapy services. More employers are now evaluating work sites, developing exercise programs, and teaching safe work habits to employees in the hope of reducing injuries. A shortage of physical therapists that once existed has all but disappeared. The number of physical-therapy education programs has increased, and more graduates have moved into the labor force. Most graduates receive multiple job offers, and job prospects are expected to continue to be excellent. Physical therapists who are willing to work in rural areas will experience even better opportunities. The high turnover in the field of home health care reflects ______ .
A. the relatively high skill requirement
B. the high pay of the work
C. high emotional demand of the work
D. bad job opportunities in the field
