摘要

This study examined how empathy (M1) and rational decision-making (M2) sequentially mediate the relationship between childhood trauma experiences (X) and case management skills (Y) among Turkish child protection social workers (n = 123). Data were collected via online surveys including the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire–33 (CTQ-33), Toronto Empathy Questionnaire (TEQ), Rational and Intuitive Decision Styles Scale, and the Practice Skills Inventory. Using PROCESS Model 6 with HC3-corrected standard errors and 5,000 bootstrap samples, the analysis revealed a statistically significant but small serial indirect effect (B = − 0.0039, SE = 0.0026, 95% CI [− 0.0098, − 0.0001]). This association should be interpreted with caution given the exploratory nature of the study. Due to the cross-sectional design, the findings reflect correlational associations rather than causal relationships. These findings highlight the cognitive-emotional mechanisms linking early adverse experiences to professional functioning in social work. Institutional efforts to implement structured trauma-informed supervision — such as reflective practice groups and regular case review sessions — alongside targeted rational decision-making training, may enhance workforce resilience in child protection systems.
