Social Work: The Contrast Interventions for COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Social work practice, as a service profession, involves applying skills and theories related to human behavior and social systems when addressing social problems. One significant challenge faced by social workers worldwide is the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic, which has affected millions, causing numerous deaths globally. This situation presents an enormous challenge for social workers on a global scale. This paper explores the roles of social workers in interventions, support, and advocacy for social inclusion, aiming to positively impact the lives of vulnerable populations and society during the pandemic. This context introduces variables such as responsibilities, support packages, compassion, creative responses, and social justice. The paper is a review that utilizes Atlas ti.8 for analysis and presentation. It highlights interventions of these variables in selected countries, considering both developed and developing nations and assessing weaknesses and strengths. Less developed countries, such as India and Nigeria, tend to face disadvantages in interventions related to support, compassion, and social justice. Hence, there is a need to integrate social workers efficiently for intervention care, particularly in less developed countries.
