Student Corner: Study Participants Needed: Social Workers & Case Managers

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Brandon McCord, along with my fellow students Hung (Kevin) Dao, and Latoya Hale, we are currently enrolled in the Masters in Social Work program at the University of the Pacific. We are excited to share our capstone project with you, titled “Burn and Beyond: A Study on Burnout and Compassion Fatigue Among Social Workers.”

We would greatly appreciate your participation in a brief survey that will take no more than 5-8 minutes of your time. Our goal is to gain and understand the experiences and challenges related to burnout and compassion fatigue among social workers. Your responses will be valuable in helping us develop better support and training programs to assist social work professionals.

Content Warning: This survey includes questions about burnout and compassion fatigue, which may be a sensitive/triggering topic for some individuals.

Here is some important information about our study:

 Your responses will be kept strictly confidential. The survey is anonymous, and all data will be de-identified and securely stored in a password-protected database accessible only to our research team.

Participation in this study is entirely voluntary, and you may choose to exit the survey at any time without any penalty.

Your participation will greatly contribute to our research and the future of social work education, helping to shape better support systems for social workers facing burnout and compassion fatigue.

If you have any questions or concerns about the study or your rights as a participant, please feel free to contact us at the emails provided below:
