摘要

该研究的目的是探讨夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省一所科技大学的社会工作者在COVID-19大流行期间的作用。通过半结构化访谈和焦点小组讨论，该研究证实了社会工作者在处理由疾病、失去亲人、经济不安全感和暴力造成的心理困扰方面的关键作用。虽然与会者表示对大流行造成的严重心理健康负担缺乏准备，但现有的专门知识使他们能够提供咨询和支持，以抵消许多学生面临的孤立和焦虑。与会者亦注意到社会工作参与教育活动的重要性。关键词:新冠肺炎，心理困扰，社会工作，实习生，理工大学

SOCIAL WORK AT THE INTERFACE OF COVID-19: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY AT A UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY

The aim of the study was to explore the roles of social workers at a university of technology in KwaZulu-Natal during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions, the study confirms the pivotal role of social workers in dealing with the psychological distress caused by illness, the loss of loved ones, economic insecurity and violence. While participants expressed a lack of preparedness for the significant mental health burden caused by the pandemic, existing expertise allowed them to offer counselling and support to offset the isolation and anxiety that many students were facing. Participants also noted the importance of social work involvement in educational initiatives. Keywords: COVID-19, psychological distress, social work, student interns, university of technology
