| Sumario: | The article focuses on expanding the job demands–resources (JD-R) model to better address burnout among social workers by incorporating "prior trauma demands," which refer to psychosocial trauma experienced before entering the profession. Unlike traditional job demands and personal demands, prior trauma demands include triggers, flashbacks, feelings of inadequacy, and responses related to social injustice and trauma survival. The authors argue that recognizing these demands is crucial in the postpandemic era, as many social workers enter the field with prior trauma that influences their well-being and risk of burnout. They advocate for the development of prior trauma resources (PTR) and trauma-informed workplaces (TIW) that align with principles such as safety, trust, empowerment, collaboration, and cultural context to support social workers effectively.
