INFLUENCE OF PROFESSIONAL STRESS ON THE EFFICIENCY OF REHABILITATION WORK OF SOCIAL WORKERS

Abstract

Professional stress is an integral part of the work of social workers, especially those engaged in rehabilitation activities. High work and emotional loads, insufficient resources and uncertainty of roles and responsibilities can significantly reduce the effectiveness of their work. This article examines the impact of professional stress on the quality of rehabilitation work of social workers and suggests possible ways to reduce the negative impact of stress. The purpose of the article is to study the impact of professional stress on the effectiveness of the rehabilitation work of social workers, as well as to identify key factors contributing to the occurrence of stress and to develop effective strategies for its reduction. The scientific novelty of the work consists in a comprehensive approach to the study of the impact of professional stress on the rehabilitation work of social workers. The research uses a multidisciplinary approach, which includes the analysis of psychological, social and organizational aspects of professional stress. Such a comprehensive approach allows for a deeper understanding of the causes and consequences of professional stress, as well as to develop more effective strategies for its reduction. Professional stress significantly affects the effectiveness of rehabilitation work of social workers. The main negative consequences of stress are a decrease in the quality-of-service provision, deterioration of cognitive functions, physical and mental exhaustion, as well as uncertainty of roles and responsibilities. Understanding the factors that contribute to stress can help develop targeted strategies to reduce it. Further prospects for reducing the impact of occupational stress on the effectiveness of rehabilitation work of social workers include the implementation of stress management programs, the use of modern technologies to reduce workload, support from management, the creation of a supportive work environment and increased awareness of stress and its consequences. The implementation of these measures will help improve the working conditions of social workers, increase their productivity and ensure high-quality rehabilitation services for clients.
