Front-line Nursing Home Staff Experiences During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Elizabeth M. White et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, nursing home staff faced ongoing constraints on testing and continued reliance on crisis standards for extended use of personal protective equipment. They expressed fears of infection, empathy for residents, burnout due to increased workloads, staffing shortages, and emotional burden, as well as the demoralizing impact of negative media coverage and lack of organizational communication and teamwork. These challenges are likely to contribute to increased burnout, turnover, and staff shortages in the long term for this already strained and vulnerable workforce.

The Role of Coping in the Wellbeing and Work-Related Quality of Life of UK Health and Social Care Workers during COVID-19

Paula McFadden et al.

Summary: This study found that positive coping strategies, such as active coping and help-seeking, were associated with higher wellbeing and better quality of working life among health and social care workers during the first wave of COVID-19 in the UK. In contrast, negative coping strategies, like avoidance, were risk factors for low wellbeing and worse quality of working life. The results highlight the importance of organizational and management support during stressful times, such as providing psycho-education and training on active coping to equip staff with better coping skills.

Summary: Social workers play a crucial role in improving the lives of service users, but they face high levels of stress-related issues, low job satisfaction, and poor working conditions.
