Book excerpt: Purpose: Burnout affects the quality of services provided to clients, the health and wellbeing of employees, and contributes to the infamously high turnover rates in social work. The purpose of this study is to use the professional quality of life model and the constructivist self-development theory to explore how social support and work-related factors influence risk of burnout. Research questions: 1) Does social support serve as a protective factor? 2) Are there other contributing factors that increase risk of burnout? Methods: Qualtrics was used to create an online survey, administered via email to 55 employees of the Department of Social Services. The survey included the Professional Quality of Life scale and Berlin Social Support Scales. Results: The only hypothesized significant relationship found was between number of hours worked per week and secondary traumatic stress. Another significant finding was that compassion satisfaction was higher in older social workers. Discussion: A larger sample is needed to show additional significant correlations. Future research should focus on gaining a better understanding of the causes of burnout and secondary traumatic stress in order to increase compassion satisfaction and other protective factors to proactively treat the problem.
Download or read book Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient-centered, high-quality health care relies on the well-being, health, and safety of health care clinicians. However, alarmingly high rates of clinician burnout in the United States are detrimental to the quality of care being provided, harmful to individuals in the workforce, and costly. It is important to take a systemic approach to address burnout that focuses on the structure, organization, and culture of health care. Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout: A Systems Approach to Professional Well-Being builds upon two groundbreaking reports from the past twenty years, To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System and Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, which both called attention to the issues around patient safety and quality of care. This report explores the extent, consequences, and contributing factors of clinician burnout and provides a framework for a systems approach to clinician burnout and professional well-being, a research agenda to advance clinician well-being, and recommendations for the field.
Download or read book Strengthening the Retention of Child Protection Workers written by Kenneth Burns and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines a key issue in the field of human and social services: how to retain workers in child protection and welfare organisations. Research over the last decade has highlighted the turnover of these workers as being a pressing and perennial issue that impacts upon service users, staff welfare, resources and the reputation of this sector. This book presents the findings of a study examining social workers' retention in child protection and welfare. The findings from this study highlights how workers' retention is influenced by exchanges relationships with colleagues and managers, and this book presents a unique 'career preference' typology which expands our understanding of how workers make decisions to stay or leave based upon their pre-conceptions of career pathways post-qualification. The book also examines findings associated with the employment mobility of these workers within child protection and tracks their next post after leaving, which provides some surprising findings regarding how we understand and measure turnover for these workers. The book also examines rich qualitative data from these workers' experiences of being a social worker in child protection associated with; job satisfaction, commitment to child protection and welfare work, making a difference, quality of supervision, autonomy, and exchange relationships with peers, all of which emerged as important factors in social workers' decisions to stay or leave. The implications of this study's findings for theory are also explored. Kenneth Burns is deputy course director of the Master of Social Work and a research associate with the Institute for Social Science in the 21st Century at University College Cork, Ireland.
Download or read book Taking an Industrial Organizational Psychology Approach to the Examination of Turnover Among Child Welfare Workers written by Kristin I. Charles and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child welfare worker turnover is a pervasive problem. In some cases, turnover can be as high as 90% per year (CWIG website, 2017). The present study examined factors that may contribute to worker turnover. Child welfare workers (N = 373) completed a questionnaire that included measures from the industrial/organizational psychology literature, that is, job involvement and the availability of job opportunities, as well as measures previously examined in the child welfare literature, that is, burnout and turnover intentions. In addition, a measure that assessed workers' perceptions of making a difference was developed for this study. Finally, job performance data were obtained from the state agency in which participants worked for up to six months prior to job turnover, and turnover data were collected for a full year after the administration of the questionnaire. Structural equation modeling indicated that child welfare workers who reported at they were making a difference also reported more involvement in their jobs and were less likely to exhibit burnout. In addition, workers higher in job burnout reported stronger turnover intentions, were more likely to perceive alternative job opportunities, and were more likely to turnover. Contrary to expectations, job burnout did not influence change in performance over time nor average job performance. Changes in job performance but not average performance was found to be negatively related to turnover. Finally, workers who reported stronger turnover intentions also perceived more alternative job opportunities and were more likely to turnover. The results suggest that additional resources and supports to help alleviate the burden and stress on workers and improving the way success and recognition are defined in child welfare work may help reduce turnover.
Download or read book Supervision in Social Work written by Liz Beddoe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supervision is currently a "hot topic" in social work. The editors of this volume, both social work educators and researchers, believe that good supervision is fundamental to the development and maintenance of effective practice in social work. Supervision is seen as a key vehicle for continuing development of professional skills, the safeguarding of competent and ethical practice and oversight of the wellbeing of the practitioner. As a consequence the demand for trained and competent supervisors has increased and a perceived gap in availability can create a call for innovation and development in supervision. This book offers a collection of chapters which contribute new insights to the field. Authors from Australia and New Zealand, where supervision inquiry is strong, offer research-informed ideas and critical commentary with a dual focus on supervision of practitioners and students. Topics include external and interprofessional supervision, retention of practitioners, practitioner resilience and innovation in student supervision. This book will be of interest to supervisors of both practitioners and students and highly relevant to social work academics. This book was originally published as a special issue of Australian Social Work.

Download or read book Meta analysis of Turnover Intention Among Child Welfare Workers written by Hyosu Kim and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High rates of turnover among public child welfare (CW) workers has a detrimental influence on social workers, clients and their families, agencies, and states. Although the severity and prevalence of the problem are well understood, it was only recently that research on turnover among CW workers became more popular. Our understanding of the phenomenon, however, is still lacking and requires quantitative research synthesis. To address this research gap, the purpose of this study is to conduct a meta-analysis of the existing literature on turnover intention among child welfare workers. Among 144 potentially qualifying studies, twenty two studies were included in this meta-analytic study. Utilizing Hunter and Schmidt (2004)'s method, this study quantitatively combined and analyzed 36 predictors from the included studies. Overall, predictors related to CW worker attitudes and perceptions (e.g., organizational commitment and job satisfaction) had the highest influence on turnover intention among CW workers. On the other hand, demographic predictors, such as age, race, and gender, showed small or negligible effects on turnover intention. Among work-related predictors, stress-related predictors and sub-factors of burnout had medium to high influence on turnover intention while predictors related to decision-making showed medium effect sizes. Among predictors in work environment category, various types of support predictors had varying influence on turnover intention while such variables as perceptions of fairness and policy had relatively high effect sizes of around .4. Several commonly-studied factors with proven validity, such as organizational commitment, stress, job satisfaction, professional commitment, and organizational climate, emerged as some of the strongest predictors. Other variables, such as perceptions of fairness, safety concern, and policy, were also shown to be strong predictors, but have received relatively less attention. While caseload is commonly thought of as one of major drivers of turnover, this study showed that caseload had little effect on turnover intention of CW workers. This study highlights several key areas of further research. First, job performance and economy-related factors are rarely utilized in studies of turnover intention among CW workers and therefore, deserve greater attention. Second, studies with private CW workers were relatively small compared to studies with public CW workers. Third, there has been a conceptual confusion of turnover intention measures, which future research can help to further clarify. The theoretical and practical implications highlighted by this study are also discussed.
Download or read book Missing Data written by Paul D. Allison and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2001-08-13 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sooner or later anyone who does statistical analysis runs into problems with missing data in which information for some variables is missing for some cases. Why is this a problem? Because most statistical methods presume that every case has information on all the variables to be included in the analysis. Using numerous examples and practical tips, this book offers a nontechnical explanation of the standard methods for missing data (such as listwise or casewise deletion) as well as two newer (and, better) methods, maximum likelihood and multiple imputation. Anyone who has been relying on ad-hoc methods that are statistically inefficient or biased will find this book a welcome and accessible solution to their problems with handling missing data.
