Abstract

ABSTRACT This study describes the conditions under which Israeli social workers in hospital settings operated s during the COVID-19 pandemic, and assesses their perceived support (informal and organizational support) and preparedness for the next pandemic. It further assesses correlates for perceived support and associations between perceived support and preparedness. The participants were 163 social workers from four hospitals who completed an on-line survey. The findings revealed that the level of exposure to COVID-19 and fear of contracting COVID-19 were unrelated to perceived informal and organizational support. Age and having children who are minors living at home moderated the relationship between fear of contracting COVID-19 and both types of perceived support. Each type of perceived support was significantly associated with preparedness beyond age, having minors at home, exposure to COVID-19, and fear of contracting COVID-19. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，医院环境中的以色列社会工作者对下一次大流行的支持和准备

摘要本研究描述了新冠肺炎大流行期间医院环境中的以色列社会工作者的操作条件，并评估了他们感知到的支持（非正式和组织支持）和对下一次大流行的准备情况。它进一步评估了感知支持的相关性以及感知支持和准备之间的关联。参与者是来自四家医院的163名社会工作者，他们完成了一项在线调查。研究结果显示，接触新冠肺炎的程度和对感染新冠肺炎的恐惧与感知到的非正式和组织支持无关。年龄和有未成年子女在家生活缓和了对感染新冠肺炎的恐惧与两种类型的感知支持之间的关系。每种类型的感知支持都与年龄以外的准备、家里有未成年人、接触新冠肺炎以及对感染新冠肺炎的恐惧显著相关。讨论了对研究和实践的启示。
