Abstract

Purpose: With the rapid development of China's social work sector, the increasing job pressures, and risks of professional burnout among social workers have become more prevalent. This study examined the relationship between Chinese social workers' attitudes toward evidence-based practice (EBP) and burnout, exploring the mediating mechanisms of evidence-based knowledge (EBK) and service quality perception (SQP).

Materials and methods: We applied PROCESS 4.2 macro in SPSS to analyze the data from 5,931 social workers, testing the sequential mediation effects of EBK and SQP between their attitudes toward EBP and burnout.

Results: The findings revealed: (1) Attitudes toward EBP had significant indirect positive effects on burnout; (2) EBK partially mediated the relationship between EBP attitude and burnout; (3) SQP partially mediated the relationship between attitudes toward EBP and burnout; (4) Attitudes toward EBP had a sequential mediated effect on burnout through EBK and SQP.

Discussion: The findings emphasize the need to implement targeted interventions and training programs to foster positive attitudes toward EBP, promote continuous professional development, and provide access to EBP resources. Moreover, nurturing EBK and SQP could help alleviate burnout by improving social workers' ability to address client issues and enhance their sense of confidence and accomplishment.

Conclusion: This study fills a research gap by providing empirical evidence on the negative correlation between Chinese social workers' attitudes toward EBP and burnout, while demonstrating the mediating roles of EBK and SQP.

对循证实践的态度如何影响职业倦怠:序列调解模型。
目的:随着中国社会工作的快速发展,社会工作者的工作压力和职业倦怠风险日益增加。本研究探讨了中国社会工作者对循证实践(EBP)的态度与职业倦怠之间的关系,并探索了循证知识(EBK)和服务质量感知(SQP)的中介机制:我们应用 SPSS 的 PROCESS 4.2 宏分析了 5931 名社会工作者的数据,检验了 EBK 和 SQP 在他们对循证实践(EBP)的态度和职业倦怠之间的顺序中介效应:结果显示:(1)对 EBP 的态度对职业倦怠有显著的间接正向影响;(2)EBK 部分调解了 EBP 态度与职业倦怠之间的关系;(3)SQP 部分调解了对 EBP 的态度与职业倦怠之间的关系;(4)通过 EBK 和 SQP,对 EBP 的态度对职业倦怠有顺序调解效应:讨论:研究结果强调,有必要实施有针对性的干预措施和培训计划,以培养对 EBP 的积极态度,促进持续的专业发展,并提供获取 EBP 资源的途径。此外,培养 EBK 和 SQP 可以提高社工解决服务对象问题的能力,增强他们的自信心和成就感,从而有助于缓解职业倦怠:本研究填补了一项研究空白,为中国社工对EBP的态度与职业倦怠之间的负相关提供了实证证据,同时证明了EBK和SQP的中介作用。
