The aim of this thesis was to describe and compare the health, well-being, coping strategies of social workers and nurses within municipality care and social welfare during the Covid-19 pandemic. Furthermore, to investigate the relationship between work life, sociodemographic factors, coping strategies, well-being and emotional exhaustion. The study was cross-sectional, had a descriptive, comparative and correlational design. Data was collected using electronic questionnairs. The results showed that social workers (n=109) rated ‘home-work interface’ and ‘control at work’ better than nurses (n=67), spent more time trying to master their work situation using ‘recreation and relaxation’ strategy and reported less sick-leave than nurses. A higher proportion of nurses (86%) had met patients/clients with Covid-19 compared to social workers (64%) and most nurses (90%) had cared for patients with Covid-19. Most social workers reported their workload to be similar to before the pandemic whereas most nurses reported an increased workload. Nurses rated their ‘mental wellbeing’ better than social workers. However, most participants described their health as ‘pretty good’ and ‘about the same’ as one year earlier. Work life variables and coping variables could explain 38% of the variance in general wellbeing, 19–23% in mental well-being, 33% in emotional exhaustion. Conclusion: Despite the fact that nurses had been more exposed to Covid-19 than social workers and most of them rated their workload as increased, they still rated their health as about the same as one year earlier, Nurses also rated their mental wellbeing better than social workers.
