“…uk/a-to-z/ s/ stress) have linked health physical and mental health lifestyles to stress management and mitigation. Of course, this finding does bring about what Miller et al, (2019) described as the quintessential self-care chicken-and-egg scenario: Are individuals experiencing less distress because they perceived themselves as healthy, or are they healthier because they are experiencing less distress. Certainly more work is needed to critically examine this relationship.…”

“…Another interesting result was that the service status was an important factor to predict the self-care of social workers. This finding further emphasized the importance of strengthening professional self-care (Lee & Miller, 2013;Miller, Lianekhammy, et al, 2018).

“…Professional factors often interact with personal factors to influence workers' behavior (Miller, Donohue-Dioh, et al, 2018), and social workers can be empowered to participate in the establishment of a healthy workplace (Miller et al, 2016;.

The self‐care practices of social workers have garnered increasing attention in the literature, yet little is known about the case of China. To explore the self‐care practices of Chinese social workers under the COVID‐19 pandemic, this study uses the Self‐Care Practice Scale (SCPS) to measure the self‐care practices of social workers (N = 1066) in Fujian Province, China. The results indicate that Chinese social workers engage in moderate amounts of self‐care practices under the COVID‐19 pandemic. Significant group differences exist in social workers' self‐care practices by marital status, parenting status, age, health satisfaction, years of practicing social work, average hours of work per day, resignation intention, job satisfaction, number of received supervision services in a year, and self‐care education. Significant predictors of self‐care include marital status, monthly salary, service status, average hours of work per day, number of received supervision services in a year, school self‐care education, job satisfaction, and health satisfaction. This study has practical implications for self‐care education and practice, including workplace health promotion and the development of self‐care practice policies.

“…Many organizations and universities point to self-care as the primary tool to manage stress, secondary trauma, and burnout in social work settings (Miller et al, 2018;Newcomb et al, 2017). Self-care is defined as taking steps to preserve and improve one's health, wellbeing, and happiness, especially during times of stress (Oxford English Dictionary, 2020).…”

During the unprecedented early stages of COVID-19, few protocols were established to support overall student wellness in social work field placements. In response to the overwhelming need for a contextual framework to promote wellness and determine the next steps in mitigating health risks, faculty developed a unique solution in a dynamic situation. Rooted in the university-sponsored dimensions of wellness, BSW and MSW students developed wellness plans that were integrated into the field placement course. These plans were intended to enhance students' ability to evaluate their well-being and encourage them to plan wellness activities. The wellness plan was critical in determining a student's ability to continue their planned learning activities amidst broad systemic factors, which impacted their social work field placement experiences. Developing the wellness plan encouraged students to articulate unmet needs and provided a mechanism for faculty to offer relevant university-sponsored resources. This model provides a framework with implications for social work education. The prioritization of student wellness during field placement creates a road map for the future. Given that wellness is an essential component of social work practice, social work students must have the tools to evaluate and implement wellness strategies, which can be applied throughout the student's social work career.
