Abstract
ABSTRACT This reflective essay seeks to detail lessons learnt from conducting group work for migrant workers with COVID-19. In response to rapidly emerging psychosocial needs, Medical Social Workers (MSWs) from Tan Tock Seng Hospital conceptualised and facilitated activities targeted at improving the workers’ psychosocial well-being. The need for response to rapidly evolving psychosocial needs meant limited time for systematic needs assessment and evaluation of activities. Activities encouraging non-verbal forms of expression were useful in overcoming language barriers and adoption of the participatory paradigm for ongoing assessment and evaluation of the activities helps create a more culturally appropriate intervention for this vulnerable population.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
