With no remedy to fix the condition, those with the diagnosis must find better ways to live with it. This Commentary provides 4 helpful tips: 1) Utilize the research; 2) Get to a safe space; 3) Balance the mental an…
Incorporating a Strengths-Based Approach to the Treatment of Fibromyalgia
The more that is known about fibromyalgia (FM), the less known about FM. FM affects no two individuals the same, and treatment modalities have different impacts on individuals (Mukhida et al., 2020). The prevalence of FM ranges from 1.3 to 8 percent of the population (Maffei, 2020); however, the prevalence could be much higher because no conclusive diagnostic tests exist. Fibromyalgia is described as the result of internalizing pain from prior in…

Skills training collaboration with social work and cinematic art educators to develop innovative practices among those impacted by PTSD
The number of individuals who meet the criteria for PTSD diagnoses during the pandemic increased exponentially, creating the need for more effective teaching of treatment methods for PTSD. This paper provides educators with an interdisciplinary learning tool to conduct a thorough assessment of a unique movie character with PTSD. A collaborative effort that incorporates teaching practices of the cinematic arts with social work can possibly fill in…
Modeling living in the present
Addressing trauma among US military-connected populations can be complex and layered, however, it is imperative to facilitate their wellbeing, functionality, and continued service. Shared trauma is a novel phenomenon among social workers, and may have relevance to the military context. Innovative approaches in social work are necessary to enhance provider’s awareness of addressing shared trauma. We propose an innovative learning activity that inc…
Social Workers Being Social Workers
Connecting emotionally with peers is a priority among social workers. Peer support helps social workers manage the emotional overload from the nature of the work, while reducing feelings of burnout. The delivery of social services has been altered by the lingering effects of the pandemic, particularly with regard to the changing work environment. Therefore, this study seeks to assess factors that impacted feelings of connecting emotionally among …

Applying a Novel Approach to Understanding Social Worker Job Retention during the Pandemic
The job demands-resources (JD-R) theory explicates factors that facilitated social worker burnout prepandemic. Authors believe the JD-R theory can illustrate how certain factors facilitated social worker job retention in the novel context of the pandemic because a sizable group of social workers resisted burnout-related turnover. Disseminating these factors can benefit the profession. Qualitative cross-sectional data were elicited from a semistru…

The proposed unit provides a perspective of intersectionality that combines aspects of sameness and differentness …
Strategies used by inpatient VA social workers to facilitate their emotional well-being and job retention during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has created many unprecedented stressors among inpatient social workers. Stressors can impact provider turnover and quality of care to clients. Recent research suggests strategies that social work providers can engage in to facilitate peer support and address individual concerns during the pandemic. The purpose of this study is to explore the presence of nuanced strategies—emotional connectedness and emotional preparedness—t…
The Yo-Yo Effect”
Social work turnover from the emotional overload of providing care during the pandemic has created staff shortages and exposed many gaps in service delivery. Those social workers who sustained employment during this pandemic are asked to take on flexible/additional roles to fill in those gaps in services to their most vulnerable clients. This qualitative study (N = 12) of U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) inpatient social workers at two si…

‘Emotional preparedness’
Social work providers are at risk of experiencing lower morale during disasters because of added emotional stressors, yet, dissemination of factors that impact a social worker’s ability to manage emotions during disasters is scant. In the disaster literature, no single term adequately encompasses the myriad components of addressing a provider’s own emotional needs before disaster strikes. The authors propose how ‘emotional preparedness’ is differ…
Military Culture and Cultural Competence in Public Health
As part of the U.S. effort to encourage vaccination for SARS-CoV-2, scholars have emphasized the importance of culture and identity in vaccine uptake decisions. The culture and identity of military service are poorly understood in the context of understanding Veterans’ acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines. In analyzing data from semi-structured interviews with Veterans in homeless transitional housing, this article examines their willingness to get va…
Teaching advanced qualitative analytic skills through song lyrics
Pop culture sources are effective tools in teaching content to Master of Social Work (MSW) students because they allow students to demonstrate sophisticated understanding of complex social issues and make the class assignments more enjoyable. Recently, first-year MSW students’ knowledge and motivation to engage in research were enhanced from a learning activity that used song lyrics to teach beginning qualitative analytic methods. As a result of …
Social Workers Being Effective in Disaster Settings
Research about social workers' impact during disasters is not widely recognized. Among the various roles social workers play during disasters are to handle asurge of clients and to support peers and leaders in their respective departments by filling in gaps in services. Dissemination of social workers' best practice approaches during actual disasters is important because their collective contributions facilitate their own resilience and improve t…
Military Veterans Serving as Volunteers
The transition from military service to civilian life can present challenges for some U.S. Iraq and Afghanistan veterans in terms of losing a common military identity, having difficulties in developing new social support systems, finding meaningful employment post military service, and being at risk for mental health concerns and suicide (Reger et al., 2015). In fact, suicide has become the second leading cause of death among military personnel (…
Self-Change in Facilitating Empowerment
Youth empowerment is a critical research area because it has implications for reducing adolescent mental health stigma while improving their life trajectory, engagement in treatment and meaningful opportunities, and increasing self-esteem. The present inquiry is derived from a larger study and strives to enhance knowledge of youth empowerment by using Frank's rhetoric of self-change-a form of narrative analysis-to understand events and reactive e…
Destigmatizing Experiences of Combat Veterans Engaged in Civilian Disaster Relief
Combat veterans possess some attributes of differentness that may cause others in society to create stigmatized perceptions of them and devalue their skills. Direct interaction/contact allows targeted individuals-in this case, combat veterans-to demonstrate their value by dispelling negative attitudes or beliefs others may have of them. A previous study reported that the disaster relief setting facilitates contact among combat veterans and non-mi…
Integrating Thematic, Grounded Theory and Narrative Analysis
In this article, we integrate thematic, grounded theory and narrative analytic techniques. We apply methods from each to the same qualitative data to illustrate how they provide different interpretive scopes on medication meaning making. Findings from each are concatenated to produce an integrated conceptual framework for understanding adolescent experience of psychiatric medication. We conclude that thematic, grounded theory, and narrative metho…
