Abstract
ABSTRACT Disruptions caused by the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) during the spring 2020 semester has magnified the need to understand student experiences during pandemics, especially as research on social work students’ experiences during pandemics is limited. Forty-two undergraduate social work students at a large public state university in Pennsylvania participated in this quantitative research study. Academics, work/life balance, and financial burden emerged as top stressors. Friends, family, pets, professors and academic staff, and faith and spirituality were the main sources of support for students. With the COVID-19 pandemic still ongoing, the findings of this study offer pertinent lessons for baccalaureate social work professors, students, and programs on pandemic-related stress, stress responses, and support systems that have not been explored in previous studies.
