Abstract
Care for the Caregivers: Psychosocial Risk Factors Among gender-based violence Victim Support Social Workers in South Africa
THEME 3: Strategies toward the normative development of society
SUB 3.1 Promoting egalitarianism in intimate and other relationships as responses to Gender-based violence and femicide
Oral Presentation
This study explores the challenges (gender-based violence) GBV victim support social workers face in South Africa, focusing on psycho-social risk factors that can impact on their well-being and professional effectiveness. The study identifies specific risks these professionals face, such as increased workload, long working hours, emotional exhaustion, exposure to traumatic experiences, and blurring of personal and professional boundaries. Purposive sampling and document analysis reveals that there are psycho-social risks factors faced by these professionals, emphasising the need for comprehensive support services that prioritize the well-being and resilience of social workers. Measures such as work-life balance, organizational support, and adequate resources and training are crucial. Implementing these measures can create a supportive and sustainable work environment for GBV victim support social workers in South Africa.
