Abstract

The study aims to determine the level of social skills amongst young widowed women and to develop a suggested vision from the perspective of general practice in social work for the development of social skills for young widows. This study is one of the descriptive studies that relied on the social survey method, where the researchers prepared a measure/scale of social skills for young widows. The mentioned method was applied to a sample of (225) young widows who were selected from among the beneficiaries of Al-Weam Charitable Society by simple random method. The study concluded a set of results, the most important of which is that the level of social skills among young widows is mostly “low”, where the level of appreciation skill among young widows came at 52.6%, followed by family communication skill and problem-solving skill by 54.6%, then social relations skill by 55.3%, while the selfreliance skill was "medium" with 56%. The researchers prepared a proposed scenario from the perspective of general practice in social work to develop the social skills of young widows based on the results of the study.
