Self-care interventions for social workers in China: a scoping review

Self-care has been widely used in the field of social work as an effective practice for improving social workers' well-being. However, its interventional implementation in China is still unknown. A scoping review was employed to examine the self-care interventions for improving social workers' mental health and well-being and their effectiveness in Mainland China. While 2233 relevant studies from English and Chinese databases were retrieved, no study was determined to be ineligible because no interventional practices were conducted. The current state of research calls for widespread dissemination and efforts in addressing and implementing self-care interventions for Chinese social workers to enhance their mental well-being.
