Quality of Life in the Time of Coronavirus from the Perspective of Social Work

The time of the coronavirus crisis has virtually aff ected every aspect of our lives. Nevertheless, the eff ects of the pandemic and related measures are most often discussed in the public sphere in the context of health and economic aspects of social life. Social work, due to its complex nature, makes it possible to look at problems in a broader context, and therefore its perspective seems to be suitable for drawing attention to the all-round consequences of the pandemic and their impact on the quality of life. The aim of this theoretical study is to discuss and draw attention to the risks related to the quality of life that arise from the covid-19 epidemic and associated measures from the perspective of social work. To take into account the broader perspective of the view of quality of life, the concept of capability approach and the resulting basic human potentials was used to analyse the current situation.
