Developing coping and self-care strategies has always been important for social work students as they prepare for work that can take a psychological, emotional, mental, and physical toll and adversely impact their health and well-being. The COVID-19 pandemic is unprecedented in its impact on social work education as it forced students to quickly transition to online learning and leave field sites abruptly to do remote activities. The degree to which and how social work students effectively coped with these changes has not been adequately studied, despite recognition that understanding how personal experiences and affective reactions influence professional judgment and behavior is a critical social work competency. To help fill this void, a mixed-methods study was conducted using video narratives and survey data to assess the coping and self-regulation skills of a cohort of undergraduate social work students. Findings indicate that these students experienced multiple stressors in all aspects of their biopsychosocial functioning due to COVID-19. Many coping skills learned for use with clients were demonstrated by students themselves. Self-sufficient, avoidant, and socially-supported coping mechanisms were frequently used and relied on by students. Use of self-distraction and active coping increased, while denial decreased within the first month after transitioning to remote learning. Implications of the findings for social work education, practice, and research are discussed.

使用混合方法评估受 COVID-19 影响的本科社会工作学生的应对和自我调节技能

制定应对和自我保健策略对于社会工作学生来说一直很重要,因为他们准备工作可能会造成心理、情感、心理和身体方面的损失,并对他们的健康和福祉产生不利影响。COVID-19 大流行对社会工作教育的影响是前所未有的,因为它迫使学生迅速过渡到在线学习并突然离开现场进行远程活动。尽管认识到了解个人经历和情感反应如何影响专业判断和行为是一项关键的社会工作能力,但尚未充分研究社会工作学生有效应对这些变化的程度和方式。为了帮助填补这一空白,使用视频叙述和调查数据进行了一项混合方法研究,以评估一群本科社会工作学生的应对和自我调节技能。调查结果表明,由于 COVID-19,这些学生在其生物心理社会功能的各个方面都经历了多重压力。学生们自己展示了许多与客户一起学习的应对技巧。学生经常使用和依赖自给自足、回避和社会支持的应对机制。在过渡到远程学习后的第一个月内,自我分心和积极应对的使用有所增加,而否认的使用有所减少。讨论了调查结果对社会工作教育、实践和研究的影响。调查结果表明,由于 COVID-19,这些学生在其生物心理社会功能的各个方面都经历了多重压力。学生们自己展示了许多与客户一起学习的应对技巧。学生经常使用和依赖自给自足、回避和社会支持的应对机制。在过渡到远程学习后的第一个月内,自我分心和积极应对的使用有所增加,而否认的使用有所减少。讨论了调查结果对社会工作教育、实践和研究的影响。调查结果表明,由于 COVID-19,这些学生在其生物心理社会功能的各个方面都经历了多重压力。学生们自己展示了许多与客户一起学习的应对技巧。学生经常使用和依赖自给自足、回避和社会支持的应对机制。在过渡到远程学习后的第一个月内,自我分心和积极应对的使用有所增加,而否认的使用有所减少。讨论了调查结果对社会工作教育、实践和研究的影响。学生经常使用和依赖社会支持的应对机制。在过渡到远程学习后的第一个月内,自我分心和积极应对的使用有所增加,而否认的使用有所减少。讨论了调查结果对社会工作教育、实践和研究的影响。学生经常使用和依赖社会支持的应对机制。在过渡到远程学习后的第一个月内,自我分心和积极应对的使用有所增加,而否认的使用有所减少。讨论了调查结果对社会工作教育、实践和研究的影响。
