“…Some articles are particularly related to mental health impacts (e.g., Ravalier et al, 2020;Lawrence et al, 2021) pointed out in international reports. The intensification of mental health diseases, anxiety and caused by mandatory lockdown was mentioned as a devastating effect of COVID-19 (Khng, 2021).…”

This article aims to contribute to understanding the main social impacts of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 by highlighting the present and future challenges of social intervention and proposing a research agenda for social workers. Based on main indicators collected from international reports, we categorise the terms associated and analyse 284 Scopus articles that address social work issues in face of the COVID-19 through a text mining literature analysis. By applying topic modelling, we are able to identify relations within the body of knowledge between the main indicators. The results enable to highlight the current trends of research, contributing to leverage knowledge in social work in face of a complex and uncertain society. We find that most articles are focused on professional practice, as well as areas such as health, education and employment. In contrast, we argue that issues related to women or migrants have been less explored. These aspects could bring new perspectives in future research within the pandemic context.

“…She argued that oncology social workers could serve as an advocate for family members to receive visitor exemptions in some specific circumstances. To cancer survivors, Khng (2020) pointed out that it could be a double crisis because they were constantly reminded about death from both personal histories of cancer and news related to COVID-19 mortality. As frontline healthcare workers were navigating between the overwhelmed healthcare systems and affected patients, studies had been conducted to examine their mental health conditions (Nyashanu et al, 2020) and adaptive emotional connection strategies (Bender et al, 2021).…”

Purpose: The main objective of this study was to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest studies on COVID-19related social work issues. Method: This systematic review aimed to collect, review, and synthesize all COVID-19related papers published in 43 major social work journals, a year after the first known case was reported. Results: The final sample ( n = 256) consisted of 85 research articles and 171 in other formats. All the studies involved a total of 46,195 research participants. The majority of papers (75.4%) could be accessed freely online. Service users including families, students, older adults, caregivers, refugees, patients, health care workers, etc. were either researched or discussed. Discussion: Gerontological social work was one of the fields that received ample attention. Papers published in the Journal of Gerontological Social Work yielded the highest number of citations. Academics and social workers came up with innovative ways of practicing and researching during the pandemic.

“…The most common topic was the psychological impact of COVID-19 on HCWs [396][397][398][399][400][401][402][403][404][405][406][407][408][409][410][411][412][413] (18), which explored burnout at work [396,401,405] and methods to address this psychological impact [404,409]. The impact on patients [414][415][416][417][418][419][420] was also explored (7), looking at pregnant women [415,416] and cancer patients [420]. The remaining articles looked at the impact on the general public [421][422][423][424][425][426][427][428][429][430], such as their psychological wellness during this pandemic [421][422][423]…”

Background—One year has passed since the first COVID-19 case in Singapore. This scoping review commemorates Singaporean researchers that have expanded the knowledge on this novel virus. We aim to provide an overview of healthcare-related articles published in peer-reviewed journals, authored by the Singapore research community about COVID-19 during the first year of the pandemic. Methods—This was reported using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) protocol. It included healthcare-related articles about COVID-19 published between 23 January 2020 and 22 January 2021 with a Singapore-affiliated author. MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Google Scholar, and local journals were searched. The articles were screened independently by two reviewers. Results—The review included 504 articles. Most of the articles narrated the changes to hospital practice (210), while articles on COVID-19 pathology (94) formed most of the non-narrative papers. Publications on public health (61) and the indirect impacts to clinical outcomes (45) were other major themes explored by the research community. The remaining articles detailed the psychological impact of the pandemic (35), adaptations of medical education (30), and narratives of events (14). Conclusion—Amidst a resurgence of community cases involving variant COVID-19 strains, the resources from the research community will provide valuable guidance to navigate these uncertain times.
