Description
The Role of Online Social Work Higher Education in Burnout Prevention
This presentation seeks to increase understanding and identify implications and recommendations for social work education’s role in teaching burnout prevention skills to online social work students in order to help address the social worker shortage. Three academic works are reviewed. The systematic literature review explores what has been done in online education for students majoring in social work and other related professions.
The conceptual product defines burnout and self-care and reviews the literature identifying the increased problems with social workers relying on self-care alone to prevent burnout. A paradigm shift to the innovative concept called “well-care”, which is grounded in Job Demands-Resources Theory and Black Feminism, is suggested as a way to address the shortcomings of self-care. Well-care is defined and analyzed for strengths, limitations, and potential for change in social work practice. Finally, practical ideas for online social work education practice are outlined to arm educators with the knowledge of what can be done in an online format to help students learn to regularly incorporate well-care habits to prevent burning out from the social work profession.
Upon completion of this conference, participants will be able to:
- Analyze the definition of self-care and the problems that have developed in identifying using solely self-care to prevent burnout in social work.
- Discover a proposed paradigm shift from self-care to well-care as a way to address the gap.
- Identify possible methods to implement into online courses to start teaching well-care practice to social work students.
