THE RESILIENCE OF SOCIAL WORKERS RENDERING SERVICES TO DISTRESSED COMMUNITIES: COPING STRATEGIES
The concept of resilience is increasingly gaining universal recognition amongst the helping professionals and the social scientists. It is a term used to provide explanations about the individual complexities and the responses of groups and communities to stressful, emotional, depressive, traumatic and challenging situations. Since the profession of social work is considered an emotionally demanding field, resilience is a concept of much relevance. The research methodology in this study was qualitative in nature and was used to understand the resilience of social workers who render services to distressed communities. The primary goal of this study was to develop an in-depth understanding of resilience in social workers’ rendering services to distressed communities. The study conducted face-to-face, semi-structured interviews through the use of the purposive method of sampling. The Interview guide was utilized as a data collection instrument. The study employed exploratory research designs. Ethical requirements such as informed consent, debriefing, beneficence, confidentiality and avoidance of harm were adhered to. The study employed the resilience theory.
Keywork: : Resilience, challenges, coping strategies, social workers.
