在联合王国，有学习障碍或智力障碍的成年人的社会工作可以作为一个独立的或专门的实践领域来组织。很少有人知道当代社会工作从业者的工作与成人学习障碍的看法，如果这些不同的社会工作者在实践中与不同的用户群体或在其他专业工作。本文报告了2015年对英国社会工作者进行的一项全国性调查的结果，该调查使用Maslach Burnout Inventory在三个领域测量了职业倦怠，情绪耗竭，去个性化和个人成就感。共有1，359名社会工作者响应了邀请，其中77人报告主要从事有学习障碍的成人工作，358人报告从事儿童保护社会工作。在这些不同的实践领域工作的社会工作者的反应之间的比较表明，高水平的情感枯竭共存的高水平的个人成就，在这两个领域的实践。其他重要的区别和相似之处的报告。
Social work with adults with learning disabilities or intellectual disability may be organised as a discrete or specialist area of practice in the United Kingdom (UK). Little is known about contemporary social work practitioners’ views of their work with adults with learning disabilities and if these differ from those of social workers in practice with different user groups or working in other specialities. This paper reports findings from a national survey of UK social workers undertaken in 2015 that measured burnout using the Maslach Burnout Inventory, across three domains, emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and personal accomplishment. A total of 1359 social workers responded to the invitation to participate, of whom 77 reported predominantly working with adults with learning disabilities and 358 reported working in child protection social work. Comparisons are drawn between responses from social workers working in these distinct practice areas showing high levels of emotional exhaustion co-existing with high levels of personal accomplishment in both areas of practice. Other important distinctions and similarities are reported.
