Other studies omitted health care social workers\u2019 needs and concerns. Participants included 126 social workers (120 females, 5 males and 1 other gender identity) in hospitals and community health settings who completed an online survey during the height of the first wave of COVID-19 in Israel. Measures included questions on exposure to COVID-19, sense of safety at work, perceived support, and personal and professional concerns. Two open-ended questions about the social workers\u2019 concerns and the perceived concerns of their patients were included. The results showed that 17 per cent reported one of their inter-disciplinary team testing positive for COVID-19. Only one-third of the social workers felt safe from COVID-19 infection in their workplace. Mothers of dependent children were more concerned about income loss and about balancing work and family requirements than mothers of older children. \u2018Home\u2013work conflict\u2019 was also a main theme in the qualitative data. In conclusion, the work\u2013home role conflict took an especially heavy toll during the COVID-19 pandemic on social workers who were mothers to dependent children.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bjsw\/bcab114","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,18]],"date-time":"2021-05-18T19:11:05Z","timestamp":1621365065000},"page":"1858-1878","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Israeli
