Abstract
This study explores how internship responsibilities influence stress among Title IV-E MSW students. Data was collected through 10 interviews, analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The participants were chosen using convenience and snowball sampling methods. Three primary themes emerged from the data collected: Motivation for Title IV-E, Internship and Personal Life: Task Requirements of Both, and Stress Relief Support & Self-Care. One major finding of this study was that support is crucial to supporting MSW students in alleviating stress. The study also presents recommendations and implications for social work policy and practice.
