During the first two years of the Covid-19 pandemic, social workers, like other health-care professionals, worked on the frontline (Ashcroft et al., 2022). The pandemic disproportionally affected more vulnerable populations, i.e., people living in poverty; immigrants; and those living in nursing homes, shelters, detention centers, and prisons – populations which are usually treated by social workers, putting social workers under tremendous stress and overload (Davies & Cheung, 2022). Social workers were expected to address a range of psycho-social needs emerging from the pandemic (Amadasun, 2020) while they themselves were at high risk of being infected with the virus (Tian et al., 2022). Social workers were engaged in a massive scale of grief work (Ashcroft et al., 2022), a greater caseload of domestic violence (Davies & Cheung, 2022), and like other health-care workers, had to cope with an increasing amount of violence from patients and their families (Dopelt et al., 2022). At the same time, they struggled with an additional source of stress – namely, the lockdowns that were posed on their families and the shutdown of their children’s schools which occurred in many countries (Maiya et al., 2021). No wonder social workers, as well as other health-care professionals (Smallwood et al., 2021), were at greater risk for depression, loneliness, insomnia, burnout, and low levels of social support than the general population (Fang et al., 2021; Lai et al., 2020; Pappa et al., 2020; Smallwood et al., 2021; Zhang et al., 2020). While health-care workers’ exposure to the virus, fear of contaminating family members, mental health, and burnout has drawn research attention throughout the COVID-19 pandemic (Feingold et al., 2022; Prasad et al., 2021; Preti et al., 2020), ongoing research is needed. Furthermore, while countries have, in large, moved away from the policy of lockdowns and travel restrictions that occurred during the initial stages of the pandemic, the infection rates continue to rise and fall. As such, the impacts of the pandemic on social workers and other health-care professionals are not over yet and need to be continually documented and analyzed. Along with the negative consequences of the pandemic, however, a growing number of publications have addressed some positive consequences for health-care workers, such as psychological resilience (Heath SOCIAL WORK IN HEALTH CARE 2022, VOL. 61, NO. 4, 185–198 https://doi.org/10.1080/00981389.2022.2108569","PeriodicalId":47519,"journal":{"name":"Social Work in Health Care","volume":" ","pages":"185-198"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40671827","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}

Building on the foundation of meaning-focused interventions in cancer care and the significance of the therapeutic alliance, the paradigm of vicarious resilience can inform oncology social work, serving as a means of growth, resilience, and self-care for clinicians. Vicarious resilience is the strength clinicians may experience through clients' resilience in facing adversity, and the meaning that practitioners can gain from supporting individuals through traumatic situations, namely life-threatening illness. Social workers in the field of oncology are at risk for vicarious traumatization and compassion fatigue, as they walk alongside clients through suffering and loss, while also positioned to experience vicarious resilience and meaning through the resilience displayed by clients. This paper will examine the potential benefits of vicarious resilience in the field, and through enhancing psychoeducation and incorporating it into training and supervision, it can be brought to the fore as a paradigm in cancer care, offering a means to support practitioners.
