The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Developing Perceptions of Competence during Practice Learning (2005, background): “There is a need, however, to improve teaching and practice experience in coping with the stresses of the work, echoing Maidment’s earlier research (Maidment, 2003).”
Exploring Stress Resilience in Trainee Social Workers: The Role of Emotional and Social Competencies (2011, background): “Research findings have observed high levels of work-related stress amongst social work trainees—possibly higher than qualified staff (Maidment, 2003; Barlow and Hall, 2007; Collins, 2008).”
Resilience in Undergraduate Social Work Students: Social Support and Adjustment to Academic Stress (2010, background): “…stress spans the entire continuum of the social work education experience for students, from a lack of confidence in general writing skills (Koncel and Carney, 1992), to common trepidation of research and statistics (Forte, 1995), to unclear objectives in the field placement (Maidment, 2003).”
Resilience amid Academic Stress: The Moderating Impact of Social Support among Social Work Students (2008, background): “As Maidment (2003) poignantly stated, students need “access to preparation and placement integration material that (is) less about what they might do on placement and more about the processes of learning and managing stress while working in a contemporary agency environment” (p. 57).”
