■社会工作者在护理环境中支持客户的心理社会和资源需求。社会工作者通常不会,然而,经过培训,参与应急响应实践,例如支持COVID-19大流行带来的需求可能必要的实践。本文报告了对COVID-19期间进入社会工作领域的社会工作专业学生和应届毕业生的横断面调查结果,探讨了他们的准备工作,感知到的准备,和培训需求。
■研究样本(N=94)包括70名学生和24名应届毕业生。样品为52%白色,22%西班牙裔,21%的黑人/非洲裔美国人。受访者报告了创伤知情护理领域的培训需求(70%),行为健康(57%),具有文化能力的实践(49%),远程医疗(48%),损失和悲伤(44%),和应急管理(43%)。学生和应届毕业生的自我效能感评分没有显着差异;两组都报告了他们应用高级实践技能的能力低的自我效能感。在控制人口统计学之后,接受COVID-19大流行特有的培训(β=.271,p<.05),感知准备(β=.779,p<.001),对培训/准备的满意度(β=.4450,p<.001)显着影响了SW学生和应届毕业生的自我效能感水平。
■社会工作课程发展,继续教育,需要准备和支持新兴的社会工作者在COVID-19及其长期影响的背景下进行实践。这包括加强社会工作者参与远程医疗的准备,创伤知情的做法,应急管理,政策解读,自我照顾,悲伤的支持。
UNASSIGNED: Social workers support clients\' psychosocial and resource needs across care settings. Social workers are typically not, however, trained to engage in emergency response practices such as the ones that may be necessary to support needs brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. This article reports findings from a cross-sectional survey of social work students and recent graduates entering the field of social work during COVID-19, exploring their preparation, perceived readiness, and training needs.
UNASSIGNED: The study sample (N = 94) included 70 students and 24 recent graduates. The sample was 52% White, 22% Hispanic, and 21% Black/African American. Respondents reported training needs in the areas of trauma-informed care (70%), behavioral health (57%), culturally competent practice (49%), telehealth (48%), loss and grief (44%), and emergency management (43%). No significant differences emerged in self-efficacy ratings of students and recent graduates; both groups reported low self-efficacy in their ability to apply advanced practice skills. After controlling for demographics, receiving training specific to the COVID-19 pandemic (β = .271, p < .05), perceived readiness (β = .779, p < .001), and satisfaction with training/preparation (β = .4450, p < .001) significantly contribute to levels of perceived self-efficacy among SW students and recent graduates.
UNASSIGNED: Social work curricular developments, and continuing education, are needed to prepare and support emerging social workers for practice in the context of COVID-19 and its long-term implications. This includes enhancing social workers\' readiness to engage in telehealth, trauma-informed practice, emergency management, policy interpretation, self-care, and grief support.
