Social work professionals are known to experience or feel stress within the workplace. The purpose of this study on stress management within the social work profession was to gain a deeper understanding of workplace stress and help empower social workers to manage their stress through the creation of a stress management tool. There were two research questions identified in the study, they were (a) Does the social worker's knowledge of stress contribute to the level of workplace stress experienced? and (b)When social workers implement individual stress management interventions was there a decrease in workplace stress? The design of the research study was an action-based study with a generic qualitative inquiry approach to collect and analyze the data. The study used purposeful sampling, with the specific method of snowballing, that obtained a sample of social work professionals to take part in individual interviews and a focus group. The sample included a total of 10 social work professionals that were over the age of 18, held a bachelor's or master's degree in social work, and had been working within the social work profession for a least six months. The individual interviews and focus group were designed to address the research questions by obtaining the participant's thoughts and opinions of their experiences of workplace stress through personal narratives. The findings of the study concluded that there were five categories that contributed to workplace stress. The categories were lack of resources, lack of training, negative perception, taking time off, and social workers not equipped. The results of this study confirmed that there was workplace stress in this profession, which was based on five different categories with emerging themes identified. Based on these themes, the action phase of the data collection process was completed by the focus group and their development of a stress management tool. The results of the study presented an understanding that social workers were aware of their workplace stressors and how to manage them, but the various factors that cause stress need to be addressed on a higher level within organizational management and by city and state officials. This study offered a deeper understanding of the current body of knowledge and brings light to the ongoing workplace issues that social workers face.

520 $a Los profesionales del trabajo social son conocidos por experimentar o sentir estres dentro del lugar de trabajo. El proposito de este estudio sobre el manejo del estres dentro de la profesion de trabajo social era obtener una comprension mas profunda del estres en el lugar de trabajo y ayudar a empoderar a los trabajadores sociales para manejar su estres a traves de la creacion de una herramienta de manejo del estres. Se identificaron dos preguntas de investigacion en el estudio, fueron (a) ¿el conocimiento del trabajador social sobre el estres contribuye al nivel de estres en el lugar de trabajo experimentado? y (b) cuando los trabajadores sociales implementan intervenciones individuales de manejo del estres ¿hubo una disminucion en el estres en el lugar de trabajo? El diseno del estudio de investigacion fue un estudio basado en la accion con un enfoque de investigacion cualitativa generica para recopilar y analizar los datos. El estudio utilizo un muestreo util, con el metodo especifico de Snowballing, que obtuvo una muestra de profesionales de trabajo social para participar en entrevistas individuales y un grupo de enfoque. La muestra incluyo un total de 10 profesionales de trabajo social que tenian mas de 18 anos, que tenian una licenciatura o maestria en trabajo social, y que habian estado trabajando dentro de la profesion de trabajo social durante un minimo de seis meses. Las entrevistas individuales y el grupo de enfoque fueron disenados para abordar las preguntas de la investigacion mediante la obtencion de los pensamientos y opiniones de los participantes sobre sus experiencias de estres en el lugar de trabajo a traves de narrativas personales. Las conclusiones del estudio concluyeron que habia cinco categorias que contribuyeron al estres en el lugar de trabajo. Las categorias eran la falta de recursos, la falta de formacion, la percepcion negativa, la toma de tiempo libre, y los trabajadores sociales no equipados. Los resultados de este estudio confirmaron que habia estres en el lugar de trabajo en esta profesion, que se baso en cinco categorias diferentes con temas emergentes identificados. Basandose en estos temas, la fase de accion del proceso de recoleccion de datos fue completada por el grupo de enfoque y su desarrollo de una herramienta de gestion del estres. Los resultados del estudio presentaron un entendimiento de que los trabajadores sociales eran conscientes de sus factores estresantes en el lugar de trabajo y de como gestionarlos, pero los diversos elementos que causan estres deben abordarse en un nivel superior dentro de la gestion organizacional y por la ciudad y funcionarios estatales. Este estudio ofrecio una comprension mas profunda del actual cuerpo de conocimiento y aporta luz a los problemas de trabajo en curso que enfrentan los trabajadores sociales.
