Despite growing interest in self-care, few studies have explicitly examined the self-care practices of healthcare social workers. This exploratory study investigated self-care among practitioners (N = 138) in one southeastern state. Overall, data suggest that healthcare social workers only moderately engaged in self-care. Additionally, analyses revealed significant differences in self-care practices by financial stability, overall health, and licensure status, respectively. Interestingly, perceived health status and current financial situation were significant predictors for overall self-care practices. After a brief review of the literature, this narrative will explicate findings, elucidate discussion points, identify salient implications, and conclude with areas for future research.
尽管人们对自我保健的兴趣日益浓厚，但很少有研究明确考察医疗保健社会工作者的自我保健行为。这项探索性研究调查了东南部一个州的从业者（N = 138）的自我保健情况。总体而言，数据表明医疗保健社会工作者只是适度地进行自我保健。此外，分析分别揭示了在自我保健行为方面，按经济稳定性、总体健康状况和执照状态划分存在显著差异。有趣的是，感知到的健康状况和当前财务状况是总体自我保健行为的重要预测因素。在对文献进行简要回顾之后，本叙述将阐述研究结果，阐明讨论要点，确定显著影响，并以未来研究领域作为结论。
