The Covid-19 pandemic forced social workers to rethink how they perform their functions. This process was particularly challenging for child protection social workers, who had to understand how to continue to support families and children despite social distancing rules and the suspension of some activities. Three online focus groups were conducted with 18 child protection social workers to explore the Italian child protection social workers' functions during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study presents the reflections shared by these social workers on their experiences and the new awareness they acquired while performing their work in support of families during the pandemic.
新冠疫情迫使社会工作者重新思考他们履行职能的方式。这一过程对儿童保护社会工作者来说尤其具有挑战性,他们必须明白如何在保持社交距离规则以及部分活动暂停的情况下,继续为家庭和儿童提供支持。研究人员与18名儿童保护社会工作者进行了三场线上焦点小组讨论,以探讨意大利儿童保护社会工作者在新冠疫情期间的职能。本研究呈现了这些社会工作者分享的关于他们在疫情期间为家庭提供支持工作中的经历及新认识的思考。
