摘要

It takes upwards of 2 years for a child protection worker to fully develop the necessary knowledge, skills, abilities, and dispositions to work independently. Previous studies have shown child protection workers have high levels of stress, and it is common for turnover rates to be high in child welfare. One factor that has been purported to mediate workplace stress is social support provided by peers and more experienced colleagues. This led the Children's Aid Society of London and Middlesex to develop a social support group for new child protection workers. Thirteen of 20 child protection workers hired between April and August 2008 participated in an 8-session social support group that ran more than 6 months and was led by 2 senior nonsupervisory workers. Topics discussed included preparing and interacting in the courtroom, healthy stress management, managing work/home life, positive interactions/interventions, self-care, staff interactions, and effective use of supervision. During the course of the study participants reported experiencing a range of stressful critical incidents inside and outside of work including perceptions of being verbally harassed and threatened that in turn led to a range of psychosocial issues that affected their wellness. Participants reported a small though statistically insignificant decrease in hopefulness and social supports over the course of the study. However, they also indicated that the new worker support group was a valuable additional resource to the social supports they used to deal with the workplace-generated stress they experienced.View full textDownload full textKEYWORDSchild welfare, social support, stressRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15555240.2010.496333
