During the pandemic, as essential workers, hospital-based social workers have been on the frontline. This cross-sectional study examines the resilience of social workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, how the pandemic impacted on social work and lessons learnt. Hospital social workers working in three states, namely Victoria, Queensland, and New South Wales were invited to participate in an online web-based survey, providing non-identifiable demographic details and information a) relating to their proximity to COVID-19, b) their degree of resilience (CD-RISC-2), c) professional quality of life, d) perceived social support, e) physical health, f) professional and personal growth during the pandemic, and g) impacts of COVID-19 on their practice. Basic descriptive statistics were computed for variables of interest. Within group, comparisons were made using paired t-tests or one-way ANOVAs for continuous variables as appropriate to investigate possible interstate differences. Regression analyses were conducted to determine which factors contribute to resilience. Social workers, during the pandemic, whether working under the constraints of lockdown or not, demonstrated high levels of resilience. These levels were similar across the three states, unaffected by the degree of infection in the community, indicating that as a group, social workers have high innate levels of resilience. This study provides an in-depth understanding of the impact of COVID-19 on hospital social workers, the long-term impact of the pandemic on social work practice, and potentially useful lessons learnt for the future.</p>","PeriodicalId":47519,"journal":{"name":"Social Work in Health Care","volume":" ","pages":"199-217"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40507378","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}

The benefit of resilience on cognitive functioning was observed only in participants with disability in ADLs.

Participants indicated that moral distress derives from both individual interactions and the culture and climate of health systems. For example, participants expressed how sources of moral distress derived from client-centered decisions, such as end-of-life care and patient autonomy; interpersonal dynamics, including team or supervisory conflict; structural issues, such as insurance barriers or internal hospital policies; and organizational values, such as perceptions of institutional support and validation.

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}
