Psychological injuries in social work are on the rise in complex modern society. Some individuals are incurring both physical and psychological injuries. Often, psychological injuries are more miserable than physical injuries. To combat the psychological injury suffered by individuals involved in social work, authorities should mobilize support via social media and raise funds by this and other feasible means to cover the cost of care for these individuals. This study focuses on social media support and funding assistance that could play useful roles in helping to treat psychological injuries among social workers and their clients in China.
A scoping review of academic and gray literature was undertaken to identify the different injuries involved in social work. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 7 experts, including social workers, social media professionals, and social fund directors. Empirical studies on psychological injuries in social work provided examples in support of the policy advocacy reported in this paper.
The scoping review found diverse literature on the subject of psychological injury in social work over the past decade in China. Semi-structured interviews with experts indicate that social media support can alleviate psychological suffering and that funding assistance has a positive influence on assisting individuals coping with psychological injuries. The empirical cases support the plan to encourage more support from social media and funding sources.
Psychological injury is greatly influenced by social bias and discrimination. According to cases and actions are taken to mitigate the harm done, supportive social media strategies could greatly diminish the psychological injuries to social workers and their clients and help them avoid much suffering. This study finds that funding organizations could provide a new treatment mechanism-social media marketing strategies and functional activities-to help a large number of individuals with psychological injuries out of the disease trap in China.
在复杂的现代社会中，社会工作者的心理创伤呈上升趋势。一些人同时遭受身体和心理创伤。通常，心理创伤比身体创伤更痛苦。为了应对社会工作者所遭受的心理创伤，有关部门应该通过社交媒体动员支持，并通过这种方式和其他可行的方式筹集资金，支付这些人的护理费用。本研究重点关注社交媒体支持和资金援助，这可能在中国社会工作人员及其客户的心理创伤治疗中发挥有益作用。
对学术和灰色文献进行了范围审查，以确定社会工作中涉及的不同伤害。对包括社会工作者、社交媒体专业人士和社会基金主管在内的 7 名专家进行了半结构化访谈。社会工作心理创伤的实证研究为本文所报告的政策倡导提供了支持。
范围审查发现，过去十年中国有关社会工作心理创伤的文献多种多样。对专家的半结构化访谈表明，社交媒体支持可以减轻心理痛苦，资金援助对帮助个人应对心理创伤有积极影响。实证案例支持鼓励更多社交媒体和资金来源支持的计划。
心理创伤受到社会偏见和歧视的极大影响。根据采取的案例和行动来减轻伤害，可以采用支持性的社交媒体策略，大大减轻社会工作者及其客户的心理创伤，帮助他们避免许多痛苦。本研究发现，资助组织可以提供一种新的治疗机制——社交媒体营销策略和功能活动——帮助中国大量心理创伤患者摆脱疾病困境。
