Abstract

Purpose: Social workers navigate systemic stressors while managing self-care amid scant institutional support. The purpose of this systematic review is to critically examine the state of social work intervention research for self-care practices. Methods: This review includes empirical research articles focusing on self-care interventions in social work between 2011 and 2022 ( N = 22). Results: All self-care interventions focused on modifying individual behaviors, attitudes, and knowledge. Discussion: Most (83%) research on self-care interventions focused on mindfulness, which tended to be associated with improvements in mindfulness, distress management, and clinical self-efficacy. The remaining interventions tended to be associated with improvements in self-care attitudes, knowledge, practices, and wellness. Conclusion: Structural factors and socioeconomic privilege have been found to be predominant predictors of whether social work students, educators, and practitioners engaged in self-care practices, yet no interventions incorporated structural or institutional variables. Multilevel interventions addressing structural, institutional, and relational determinants of burnout are needed.

没有结构支持，自我保健可持续吗?自我照顾干预的系统回顾

目的:社会工作者在缺乏制度支持的情况下管理自我保健，同时应对系统压力。本系统回顾的目的是批判性地审视自我照顾实践的社会工作干预研究的状态。方法:选取2011 - 2022年社会工作中自我照顾干预的实证研究文章(N = 22)。结果:所有自我保健干预措施的重点是改变个体的行为、态度和知识。讨论:大多数(83%)关于自我护理干预的研究集中在正念上，这往往与正念、痛苦管理和临床自我效能的改善有关。其余的干预措施往往与自我保健态度、知识、实践和健康的改善有关。结论:结构因素和社会经济特权已被发现是社会工作学生、教育工作者和从业人员是否从事自我保健实践的主要预测因素，但没有干预措施纳入结构或制度变量。需要针对职业倦怠的结构、制度和关系决定因素进行多层次干预。

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
