Given the change in social work education due to COVID-19, the use of simulation within social work field education provides a strategy to assist with skill development and training. The purpose of this study was to explore how simulation was utilised during COVID-19. A mixed-methods online survey was sent to social work academics and field educators within Australia (n = 33). Barriers to using simulation included costs, lack of expertise, technology, concerns regarding the limiting of student’s real-world practice opportunities and accreditation issues. The inclusion of simulation in field education has promise in skill development and allows student exposure to complex scenarios. ARTICLE HISTORY Received 17 December 2020 Accepted 16 June 2021

ABSTRACT The study aims to examine the effects of the COVID-19 on the psychosocial life and the sources of social support of people with rare diseases in Turkey. The research was conducted with 178 rare disease patients. The sociodemographic questionnaire, The Fear of COVID-19 scale, General Health Survey-12, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support were used. The Fear of COVID-19 Scale average score is 20.20 ± 6.11, General Health Survey-12 average score is 5.82 ± 1.77, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support average score is 52.84 ± 14.23. There is a positive correlation between ages and scores on The Fear of COVID-19 Scale (r = .221, p˂.001). There is a negative correlation between the participant’s scores on the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale and the General Health Survey-12 (r = -,265, p˂.001). It is suggested to develop social service delivery systems to support people with rare diseases.]

ABSTRACT People with a gambling problem, especially those participating in Gamblers Anonymous (GA), are likely to suffer under social distancing policies necessitated to curb the spread of COVID-19. Accordingly, this study identified difficulties in recovery conditions and strategies related to GA under the social distancing policy in Korea using a case study approach. Following the case study process, categorical aggregation and direct interpretation were implemented to analyse nine cases, and an integrated main theme, the spontaneous efforts of GA participants to recover under the social distancing policy, was discovered with seven sub-themes. Based on the findings, difficulties, subjectivity, and new recovery strategies of GA participants were identified, and political and practical implications for recovery were drawn.

ABSTRACT This study examines the depressive symptom trajectories in middle-school adolescents from multicultural families in South Korea and explores their predictors from the ecological systems perspective. Using the latent growth model, we analysed a sample from the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Survey (2014–2016). Our findings revealed that depressive symptoms increased persistently with age. Girls presented a systematically higher risk of depressive symptoms than boys. Family support, two-parent families, parental monitoring, learning, friendships, positive perceptions about the residential area, and good health reduced depressive symptoms. Parental neglect, bullying, parental involvement in children’s grade, and acculturative stress increased depressive symptoms.

ABSTRACT This study investigates preference for ageing-in-place (AIP) among local older adults in a Chinese county with a large concentration of internal migrants. The current study was a secondary analysis of data from 755 community-dwelling elderly linked with county-level neighbourhood administrative data. We found that older adults living in neighbourhoods with a high concentration of migrants were 46% less likely to prefer AIP than those living in neighbourhoods with a low concentration of migrants. Such associations remained significant only among those less educated. Community-based programmes to encourage social contact among migrants and local older adults should be promoted.

ABSTRACT This study purposes to examine the direct pathways from psychological distress and environmental factors in adolescence to depression in adulthood, as well as the indirect pathways via life satisfaction, confidence in the future, and interpersonal relationships. 1,759 respondents who were measured in both 2010 and 2018 in China Family Panel Studies were included. Using structural equation modelling (SEM), this study found that psychological distress in adolescence has unique impacts on depression in adulthood. Family environment was indirectly associated with adulthood depression through life satisfaction. School satisfaction demonstrated its salient influences on adulthood depression through life satisfaction, confidence in the future, and interpersonal relationships. Based on longitudinal data, this study depicted complex mechanisms shaping adulthood depression which involved both adolescent psychological distress and concurrent environmental factors. Correspondingly, social work practices should be improved regarding early intervention on psychological distress, integration of different practical areas, and adoption of interpersonal therapeutic treatment.

ABSTRACT This paper examines the economic status of Taiwanese elderly, focusing on the role of family support during the period 1976–2016. We use data from the Survey of Family Income and Expenditure in Taiwan. Our analysis has three main findings. First, the economic status of the Taiwanese elderly has deteriorated over the past four decades, though Taiwan has developed a comprehensive social security system since 1993. Secondly, the family still plays a crucial role in providing the elderly’s income security. Finally, the elderly head’s probability of falling into poverty is significantly affected by age, work status, educational attainment and marital status.

ABSTRACT This study examines the prevalence rate of emotional distress and identifies its stressors among Malaysian women during the COVID-19 nationwide lockdown. Self-administered questionnaires based on previous studies and the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale – 21 were distributed online, resulting in the recruitment of 1,793 women aged more than 24 years old. Emotional distress was prevalent among the women (37%; N = 669). Marital Issues, Financial Issues, Living Condition, Emotion and Working from Home significantly predicted emotional distress whereas Working on Site did not. We recommend psychological support and intervention strategies to help the affected women.
