Physiological evidence of escalating stress during COVID-19: a longitudinal assessment of child welfare workers

Austin Griffiths et al.

Summary: Studies show that stress affects employee turnover and retention issues for agencies. Chronic stress is linked to negative effects such as coronary heart disease, anxiety, and depression. Advances in technology now allow for more accurate biofeedback assessments through wearable instruments. The Kentucky Child Welfare Workforce Wellness Initiative is the first study to explore physiological stress in child welfare professionals using biometric technology, and it reveals that prolonged stress leads to decreased physiological relaxation. Future research should continue to utilize biometric technology.

Exploring the Impact of the First Wave of COVID-19 on Social Work Practice: A Qualitative Study in England, UK

Tom Kingstone et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a significant shift in the delivery of health and social care services globally. In the UK, individuals with pre-existing social care needs were identified as clinically vulnerable to COVID-19. These individuals were advised to follow additional public health measures, which unintentionally exacerbated social disadvantages. Social workers faced the challenge of continuing to provide services as usual during this time. However, the difficulties encountered in implementing new ways of working were not extensively researched. This study explored the experiences and perspectives of social workers responding to the first wave of COVID-19 in England, UK from April to July 2020. Thirteen social workers from the West Midlands region were interviewed through telephone or online video. Reflexive thematic analysis was conducted to analyze the interview transcripts. The concept of 'managing uncertainty' emerged as a central theme, encompassing four identified themes: providing social care at a physical distance, negotiating boundaries between home and work, managing emerging risks, and considering the long-term implications for social work. The findings of this study highlight the resilience and adaptability of social workers in responding to the new challenges brought about by the pandemic. However, concerns were expressed regarding the prioritization of short-term efficiency over the needs of individual service users.

Burnout, negative emotions, and wellbeing among social workers in China after community lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic: Mediating roles of trait mindfulness

Yaxue Wu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the burnout situation of social workers who experienced community lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic one year before, and examined the role of trait mindfulness in protecting against burnout. The results showed that trait mindfulness was negatively correlated with burnout, negatively correlated with negative emotions, and positively correlated with wellbeing. Burnout was significantly positively correlated with negative emotions and significantly negatively correlated with wellbeing. Wellbeing was significantly negatively correlated with negative emotions. Trait mindfulness played a partial mediating role in the relationship between burnout, negative emotions, and wellbeing. Wellbeing also played a partial mediating role in the relationship between burnout and negative emotions.
