Social Work Students and COVID-19: Impact Across Life Domains.

This study captured experiences of MSW and BSW students during COVID-19 across a number of life domains (i.e., class, field, personal coping and well-being, homelife, and employment). An electronic survey was administered, with a sample size of 65 students from two universities. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were conducted. A majority of students reported trouble staying focused on coursework and maintaining a routine but appreciated faculty flexibility and a sense of connection. A majority reported mental health concerns made worse by COVID-19. Increased caregiving responsibilities for family members and children was a stressor, as well as worry about jobs and licensure postgraduation. Key areas for educator and program self-reflection are offered based on study findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
