Using survey data (N = 441), this study identified associations between stress, depression, and COVID-related factors and explored the role of social connectedness as a moderator for mental health among Ohio social workers. The results of the study showed that among social workers with a positive COVID-19 diagnosis, 70 percent experienced moderate/high levels of stress, and 37 percent met the criteria for clinical depressive symptoms. Results from the multiple regression analyses showed that perceived stress was positively associated with a positive COVID-19 diagnosis for social workers, and depression was positively associated with working with a client with a positive COVID-19 diagnosis. An interaction effect was also identified between social connectedness and social workers' mental health. These findings suggest that the provision of individual or organizational interventions that emphasize social connectedness can help to protect social workers' mental health.</p>","PeriodicalId":47424,"journal":{"name":"Health & Social Work","volume":"48 1","pages":"33-42"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10540028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ordinal logistic regression was used to examine the association between depressive symptoms and SRH and whether and how such association varies by education among older adults with cancer. More depressive symptoms were associated with worse SRH. Such association became stronger with higher education among older adults with cancer. Findings confirm the associations between depressive symptoms and SRH among older adults with cancer. The differential impact of education on SRH and on the association between depressive symptoms and SRH highlights the importance of considering patients' educational attainment in a more comprehensive way when working with older adults with cancer.

Addressing this in a clinical setting can prove challenging; however, assessing participation, defined as involvement in a life situation by the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, may be helpful. The Community Reintegration of Injured Service Members-Computer Adaptive Test (CRIS-CAT) is a measure of participation developed and validated in veteran populations. The War Related and Illness and Injury Study Center, which provides comprehensive evaluations to veterans with medically unexplained deployment-related concerns, used the CRIS-CAT as part of their social work evaluations during these visits and follow-up telephone calls. This retrospective review of clinical data examines the link between participation as assessed by the CRIS-CAT and factors that are mutable (such as relationships with others) and immutable (personal characteristics) as assessed in the social work evaluation over 12 months. The findings indicate that these veteran patients did not experience change in their participation as measured by the CRIS-CAT. Multivariable regression models demonstrated relationships only between change in CRIS-CAT scales and baseline scores and race.
