Abstract

In the UK mental health social workers reported role conflict, role ambiguity and fulfilling statutory responsibilities as possible sources of stress. Burnout was related to workload, degree of involvement with patients, lack of social support and role conflict. Further work, which investigates coping strategies and stress management interventions, is recommended.
