Abstract

The paper adds to a growing body of social work research that examines service delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic. The advent and spread of COVID-19 is a global phenomenon and social work is a global profession. Yet context is important, and the pandemic was experienced differently, as the literature on inequality has shown. Narratives of social workers in their own contexts illuminate differences and similarities and provide leads for practice in a future which many predict has forever changed. This paper is derived from qualitative interviews with ten social workers across three fields of practice in the United Arab Emirates and focuses on mental health issues from a human rights perspective.

越来越多的社会工作研究调查了COVID-19大流行期间的服务提供情况，该论文为这些研究增添了新的内容。COVID-19的出现和传播是一个全球现象，社会工作是一个全球性的职业。然而，背景很重要，正如关于不平等的文献所表明的那样，人们经历了不同的大流行。社会工作者在其自身背景下的叙述阐明了差异和相似之处，并为许多人预测永远改变的未来的实践提供了线索。本文来自对阿拉伯联合酋长国三个实践领域的10名社会工作者的定性访谈，并从人权角度关注心理健康问题。
