Cet article présente la littérature sur la santé physique des travailleurs sociaux, les résultats de notre étude sur les travailleurs sociaux et les implications liées à COVID pour la main-d’ouvre du travail social.
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in unprecedented disruptions to the workforce, most notably necessitating a more distanced work environment, which may have negative repercussions for physical health. In our prepandemic study of licensed social workers (Straussner et al., 2015), we found that many professionals were already experiencing significant physical health problems that impacted their work; these have likely been exacerbated as a result of COVID-19. This column presents the literature on physical health among social workers, findings from our study of social workers, and COVID-related implications for the social work workforce.
