Previous issue date: 2008-03-13<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>This dissertation was designed to analyze social reports written by professional social
workers who are employed by Family Court Divisions of Minas Gerais State Court of
Justice (Tribunal de Justiça de Minas Gerais - TJMG), from the perspective of 1993
Ethical Code of Social Workers values and ethical principles. Particularly in TJMG,
Family Court Divisions demanded written Social Studies and Investigations of social
workers. Those professionals are commissioned as State Representatives to
implement an intervention in family environment. Such intervention intends to
produce a technical document (Social Study or Social Report) that must be able to
support judicial decisions, as an expert analyses recommending whether is possible
or not to concede a custody petition. In this way, social study reports need to
demonstrate some aspects and determinants about social and family life of all those
involved in law action, as: intrafamily relationship (affective links, socialization
processes and potential physical and psychological violence occurrences); social
questions those would be identified as family conflict causes or social questions
those would can still provoking it; social relationships of family group and their
general social and economical conditions. This research demanded closest
approximation of this kind of social worker instrument of communication in the
forensic universe and it had written keeping in mind how it could contribute to
professional usage in this specific area. However, this research does not restrict itself
on what those professionals have showed in their discourses about values, but it has
driven itself through ethical commitment to the users that are involved on the
intervention process and social report. From this assumption, this dissertation
focuses institutional status, central elements and professional development of social
worker, and a brief historical trajectory of Social Service in the Judiciary System of
Minas Gerais State. After all, this research was built upon presuppositions of
conservative though and 1993 Ethical Code of Social Worker s values and principles<br>A presente dissertação foi realizada com o objetivo de analisar os laudos sociais
elaborados pelos assistentes sociais que atuam junto às Varas de Família dos
Fóruns do Tribunal de Justiça de Minas Gerais, sob o ponto de vista dos valores e
princípios éticos presentes no Código de Ética do Assistente Social (1993). No
TJMG, especificamente no que tange às Varas de Família, os assistentes sociais
são solicitados para a realização de Estudos Sociais ou Perícias Sociais, ou seja,
são demandados, enquanto representantes do Estado, a intervir no espaço familiar.
A finalidade dessa intervenção é a elaboração de um documento técnico (laudo
social ou relatório social), que ofereça subsídios para a decisão judicial, isto é, uma
análise e um parecer sobre as possibilidades de efetivação da guarda pleiteada.
Para isso, o estudo social precisa contemplar os aspectos/determinantes da vida
sócio-familiar dos sujeitos envolvidos naquela ação judicial: suas relações
intrafamiliares (vínculos afetivos, processos de sociabilidade, intercorrência de
situações de violência física e psicológica); as questões sociais que provocaram ou
provocam o conflito vivenciado, e as possíveis redes sociais de apoio; as relações
sociais estabelecidas pelo grupo familiar e as suas condições sócio-econômicas. Ao
realizar a pesquisa, buscamos nos aproximar desse instrumento de comunicação do
assistente social no universo forense, na perspectiva de contribuir para uma reflexão
sobre os valores e princípios éticos que pautam o exercício profissional nesse
campo específico de atuação. Contudo, não nos baseamos apenas no que foi
explicitado pelos profissionais em seu discurso sobre valores, mas no compromisso
ético firmado com o usuário no processo de intervenção e na elaboração do laudo
social. Dentro dessa proposta, a dissertação aborda o espaço institucional e seus
elementos marcantes, além do desenvolvimento da profissão e um breve histórico
sobre o Serviço Social no Judiciário Mineiro. Como eixos norteadores, nos apoiamos
nos pressupostos do pensamento conservador e nos valores e princípios do Código
de Ética do Assistente Social, de 1993

Full textAbstract:
<p> </p><p>The aim of this essay is to gain knowledge of how individual social students believe that ethical codes should be used in social work, and what the individual social students believe that an ethical code should contain. In this essay I have chosen to work on a qualitative approach because I am looking for subjective experiences. I have chosen to use my focused interviews as data collection method. Interviews are a good choice to find out people's experiences of a phenomenon. The result shows that some of the students felt that ethical codes should be used as support for ethical decisions in their daily work. The other students felt that ethical codes should be used in various forms of mentoring groups, which reflected on ethical dilemmas. Finally, I had a question about what the social students felt that the ethics code should contain. The answer to this question was a rather belated response: the rights of clients, responsibilities for social workers, emphasis on what is important in social work, and what characteristics you should have as a social worker.</p>

Kurs: Ämnesfördjupande arbete i logistik och ekonomistyrning, 2FE02E, 2FE20E Författare: Therese Jakobsen och Matilda Magnussen Handledare: Petra Andersson Titel: Etiskt ansvarstagande – Med avstamp i de gap som kan uppstå mellan ett företags uppförandekod och en underleverantörs arbetssätt Bakgrund: I dagens samhälle krävs det att företag tar ett större etiskt ansvar och verkar för en hållbar utveckling. Det ansvarsfulla företaget är ett uttryck för det företag som aktivt arbetar med Corporate Social Responsibility. Ett verktyg i arbetet med det är att utveckla en uppförandekod, även kallat Code of Conduct som dikterar riktlinjer och normer företagets verksamhet ska genomsyras av. I och med detta uppmärksammas oetiskt beteende i en större utsträckning och tydliggör vikten av att arbeta aktivt med CSR. Vilket leder fram till en problemdiskussion om hur ett företag kan ta ett etiskt ansvar med avstamp i de gap som kan uppstå mellan ett företags Code Of Conduct och en underleverantörs arbetssätt. Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att redogöra för den process som startar då företag misstänker att det finns ett gap mellan deras CoC och underleverantörers arbetssätt. Detta för att redogöra hur processen hanteras vid upptäckt av oetiskt gap med avstamp i ett inköpande företags CoC och en underleverantörs arbetssätt och belysa hur processen kan förbättras. Metod: Denna uppsats är en kvalitativ studie och bygger på expertintervjuer samt ett typföretag. Två konsulter som kan tituleras experter inom ämnet hållbarhet har intervjuats och ett typföretag har studerats. Urvalet av respondenter och företag är gjord via ett bekvämlighetsurval. Studien har positivistiskt synsätt och utgår från en analytisk induktion som angreppsätt. Slutsats: Hur processen utformas då ett företag misstänker ett oetiskt beteende hos en underleverantör varierar från fall till fall och beror på varför företaget tar ett etiskt ansvar och hur det appliceras i praktiken. Det finns en tydlig koppling mellan ekonomin och hållbar utveckling där ekonomin har en förmåga att både främja och stjälpa den hållbara utvecklingen. I arbetet med Corporate Social Responsibility och stävan efter hållbar utveckling är det bäst att agera i förebyggande syfte, anfall är bästa försvar. Nyckelord: CSR, hållbar utveckling, etiskt ansvarstagande, Code of Conduct, värdekedja, leverantörsrevisioner, process och arbetsmetod.

Full textAbstract:
Mellanchefer inom socialtjänstens sektion för barn och unga arbetar i en motstridig organisation. Mellancheferna blir länken som fogar samman politiskt fattade beslut med förvaltningens krav och förväntningar, personalgruppens behov och klienternas rätt till hjälp och stöd. Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur mellanchefernas ledarskap skapas utifrån de förutsättningar som ges och den komplexitet som rollen innebär. Sex kvalitativa intervjuer med mellanchefer inom sektionen för barn och unga i fem mellanstora kommuner har genomförts. Genom att undersöka hur mellancheferna navigerar mellan domänerna politik, förvaltning och profession och med hjälp av begreppet parallellprocesser kan mekanismer som utgör viktiga faktorer för ledarskapandet synliggöras. Tydligt är att socionomernas starka professionsidentitet präglar ledarskapet i alla led och att prioriteringar och val många gånger motiveras mot bakgrund av den starka professionstillhörigheten. Resultatet visar också att mellancheferna i studien främst ser sig som socionomer och identifierar sig mer med sin profession än med sin funktion som chef. Professionsidentifikationen utgör många gånger en legitimerande grund för hur ledarskapet bedrivs i sin operativa form.<br>Middle-managers leaders in the social services´ department for children and young people work in a conflicting organisation. These middle-managers become the link which joins together political decisions with requirements and expectations from the management, the needs of personnel and the clients´ right to aid and support. The aim of this study has been to investigate how middle-management leadership is created within given conditions and the complexity that their role entails. Six qualitative interviews with middle- managers in the department for children and young people in five intermediate municipalities have been realized. By investigating how these middle-managers navigate between the political, management and professional domains and, with the aid of the concept of parallel processes, mechanisms, which can constitute important factors for leadership, have been made visible. It is clear that the professions identity of social workers influence their leadership at all levels and that priorities and choices are often motivated because of this strong professions identity. The result also shows that the middle-managers in this study regard themselves as social workers and identify themselves more with their profession than with their function as managers. Professions identification often constitutes a legitimizing basis for how leadership is conducted in its operative form.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Pamela J. Grace<br>Nurses working in newborn intensive care units (NICU) report experiencing ethical dilemmas related to treatment decisions for infants in their care. The opportunity for nurses to contribute to the formulation of treatment plans for these infants is increasing, but often nurses are required to implement treatment plans with which they may not agree. This causes conflict for the nurse and has been shown to have implications for the nurse and, ultimately, nursing and healthcare practice. Not taking action to resolve the perceived dilemma is especially problematic on several counts (Raines, 1996). Nurse Activism, the outcome variable, is defined as the range of likely actions nurses may take to resolve ethical dilemmas in practice (Penticuff & Walden, 1987). This cross-sectional study investigated the range of likely actions that nurses would take in response to a hypothetical ethical dilemma. The web-based survey was completed by 224 NICU nurses from seven Massachusetts hospitals. Subjects responded to the Nurses Ethical Involvement Survey (Penticuff & Walden, 1987) and demographic questions. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis found that NICU nurses with greater concern for the ethical aspects of clinical practice (p = .001) and an increased perception of their ability to influence ethical decision-making (p = .018) were more likely to exhibit nurse activism to resolve an ethical dilemma and these findings explained just 8.5 percent of the variance. Future research is necessary to determine other factors contributing to, and inhibiting the actions of, nurses to resolve ethical dilemmas encountered in the NICU<br>Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2010<br>Submitted to: Boston College.

Ericson-Lidman, Eva. "The complicated struggle to be a support : meanings of being a co-worker, supervisor and closely connected to a person developing burnout." Doctoral thesis, Umeå universitet, Omvårdnad, 2008. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:umu:diva-1838.
Full textAbstract:
The overall aim of this thesis is to illuminate meanings of being a co-worker, supervisor and closely connected to a person developing burnout, and to describe perceptions of signs preceding burnout. The thesis comprises four papers and is based on qualitative data. In papers I and II, the data material consisted of interviews with 15 female coworkers of a person developing burnout, in paper III, interviews with 12 supervisors to care providers suffering from burnout, and in paper IV, interviews on two occasions with 5 people closely connected to a person developing burnout. Thematic content analysis (I) and phenomenological-hermeneutic method (II, III, IV) was used to analyse/interpret the interview text. The findings show that the coworkers retrospectively recalled different signs preceding their workmate’s burnout. They describe that their workmate was struggling to manage alone and was showing self-sacrifice. Co-workers also describe that their workmates were struggling to achieve unattainable goals and were becoming distanced and isolated. Finally, the co-workers describe that their workmates were showing signs of falling apart (I). Meanings of being a female co-worker to a person developing burnout are struggling, on the one hand to understand and help the person with symptoms of burnout, and on the other to manage one’s own work. This burdensome situation means that the co-workers are filled with contradictory and frustrating feelings and when the workmate is finally sick-listed, troubled conscience arise in the coworkers (II). Meanings of being a supervisor for care providers suffering from burnout are struggling to help the care provider continue to work, but being responsible for the unit, the supervisors are forced to ensure that the work is carried out. As the situation proceeds, supervisors are trapped in a predicament, unable to help and feeling inadequate. When the care provider is sick-listed, feelings of self-blame arise. When the time comes for rehabilitation the supervisors are once again caught between conflicting demands in a seemingly impossible mission (III). Meanings of being closely connected to a person suffering from burnout are putting one’s life on hold in order to help the person, striving to stand by to the person developing burnout, regardless of one’s own needs. Those closely connected are saving the face of the person developing burnout in order to protect them from stress. As the situation proceeds, those closely connected carry the burden alone in this strained situation and sometimes they are treated with disrespect by the person developing burnout, a situation which reveals their own suffering. Striving to find recuperation engenders troubled conscience. This situation reveals a huge need for support for those closely connected to a person developing burnout (IV). The comprehensive understanding is that meanings of being a co-worker, supervisor and closely connected to a person developing burnout are, on the one hand, a complicated struggle to support the person and on the other to shoulder a heavy burden. They try to do everything they can to help and support the person developing burnout (II-IV), these attempts, however, do not seem to reach through (I-IV). Co-workers describe signs that something is the matter (I), but they (co-workers, supervisors and those closely connected) do not understand what is happening (IIIV). This burdensome situation is full of conflict for those involved, torn between the complicated struggle to support the person developing burnout and to manage this burdensome situation. Faced with their own shortcomings, troubled conscience arises. The comprehensive understanding of the four papers (I-IV) are discussed and reflected on with the help of social support theories and the ideas of the Danish philosopher Lögstrup’s thoughts about the ethical demand.

Okpara, Theophilus T. "Religious Beliefs and Counseling Ethical Guidelines: Challenges for Catholic Counselors." ScholarWorks, 2017. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/3910.
Full textAbstract:
The Catholic Church tenets are in dissonance with American Counseling Association (ACA) ethical guidelines regarding same-sex sexual orientation. While homosexuality was removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual II as a disorder, the Catholic Church upholds same-sex sexual acts as grave depravity and disordered. Catholic counselors may face the dilemma of adhering to their religious tenets or their professional guidelines in working with gay men and lesbian women clients. Previous research has indicated that values conflicts between religious beliefs and ACA Ethical Codes on same-sex sexual orientation have resulted in legal issues due to counselors refusing therapeutic relationships or providing substandard therapy to gay men and lesbian women clients. An extensive literature review revealed no studies that exclusively focused on the disconnect between the Catholic Church's tenets and the ACA Ethical Codes. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the experience of values conflicts of Catholic counselors while working with gay men and lesbian women clients. Interpretative phenomenological analysis guided the analysis of data collected from interviews with 9 Catholic counselor participants. Six major themes emerged from the analysis: challenges, comfortable, identification with Catholic faith, personal view of Catholic position, referral, and multicultural training. The study provides insight to counselor educators and supervisors in improving multicultural competence of counselors and students. The study is an important contribution to the existing literature and would enhance social change initiatives through support and acceptance of gay men and lesbian women, which the counseling profession advocates.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med studien har varit att beskriva och förstå socialsekreterares erfarenheter av etiska dilemman som de upplevde i arbetet med ensamkommande barn och unga under 2015/2016 samt hur socialsekreterare hanterade dessa. Studien har haft en kvalitativ forskningsmetod med semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Sammanlagt har sju socialsekreterare från Västmanlands län som arbetade med ensamkommande barn och unga under 2015/2016 deltagit i studien. Studiens resultat har analyserats och tolkats utifrån teorin om coping, normativ etik och även tidigare forskning på området. Studiens resultat visar att socialsekreterare inom socialtjänsten ställdes inför en mängd svårigheter men som inte var renodlade etiska dilemman, utan hade karaktärer i form av etiska svårigheter och problem. Dessa etiska svårigheter har uppstått på flera arenor, i samverkan med Migrationsverket, ur en politiskt styrd organisation med riktlinjer och ekonomiska restriktioner samt i mötet med barn och ungdomar. Resultatet visar även att socialsekreterarna påverkats och berörts både privat som professionellt. Fem av sju socialsekreterare har varit sjukskrivna under perioden och flera har haft svårt att hantera etiska svårigheter. Socialsekreterarna har hanterat dessa etiska svårigheter genom att använda olika copingstrategier.<br>The purpose of this study has been to describe and understand social workers’ experiences of dealing with ethical dilemmas that arose in the work with unaccompanied children and young people during 2015/2016, and how social workers’ handled these dilemmas. The study has had a qualitative research method with semi-structured interviews. In total, seven social workers from the county of Västmanland, Sweden, who worked with unaccompanied children and young people during 2015/2016, participated in the study. The results of the study have been analysed and interpreted based on the theory of coping, normative ethics and also previous research in the field. The results of the study show that social workers faced a lot of difficulties, but were not purely ethical dilemmas, but had characters in the form of ethical difficulties and problems. These ethical difficulties have arisen in several arenas, in collaboration with the Swedish Migration Board, from a politically-driven organization with guidelines and economic constraints as well as in the meeting with children and young people. The result also shows that the social wokers have been affected both privately and professionally. Five out of seven social workers have been sick-listed during the period, and several have had difficulty coping with ethical difficulties. The social workers have dealt with these ethical difficulties using different coping strategies.

Our main aim with this study is to shed a light over the social workers opinions about what they believe will be the consequences of introducing Housing First in the city of Stockholm. We wanted to examine the social workers perceptions about how Housing First could change their client’s autonomy and justice. Therefor we accomplished five qualitative interviews with social workers. We analyzed our empirical material with the theoretical terms; justice, autonomy and intern role-conflict. The results and analysis showed that the social workers considered that their client’s autonomy and justice increases by the Housing First model. We also found that Housing First seems to reduce the social workers intern role-conflict. We found that the reason might be that they do not have to choose between different expectations in the same extent as when they work with the continuum of care model. The result also showed that the social workers believed that the more independent the clients are towards the social services and the social workers demands, the more dependent the clients become towards the social workers, by the means of motivation work.

Full textAbstract:
Lagen (1988:870) om vård av missbrukare i vissa fall (LVM) är en tvångsvårdslag och är den enda lagen som avviker från frivillighetsprincipen i socialtjänstlagen, vilket ger socialsekreterarna möjligheten att gå emot individens fria vilja. Studien syftar till att belysa de faktorer som kan bidra till vilka svårigheter socialsekreterare kan ställas inför i relation till LVM-lagstiftningen, individens rättssäkerhet och självbestämmanderätt. Syftet är också att problematisera socialsekreterarnas tillvägagångssätt gällande tillämpningen av LVM-lagstiftningen och om mål och syfte uppfylls. De teoretiska utgångspunkter som används för att kunna analysera det empiriska materialet är teorier om socialsekreterarnas handlingsutrymme och etiska dilemman som kan uppstå i relation till klienten samt teorier om makt och motivation. För att samla in det empiriska materialet användes semistrukturerade intervjuer med olika socialsekreterare, därmed fångades socialsekreterarnas egna erfarenheter upp kring arbetet med LVM i praktiken. Resultatet av studien har visat att det förekommer motsättningar i LVM- lagen eftersom det är en tvångsvårdslag där socialsekreterarna har makten att ta ifrån klienten deras fria vilja, samtidigt som hänsyn skall tas till klientens självbestämmanderätt och integritet. Socialsekreterarna i sin tur är styrda av den högre ledningens makt genom ledningens riktlinjer och direktiv, vilket både påverkar socialsekreterarna och klienten på ett negativt sätt. Motivationsarbetet med klienten handlar om att få klienten motiverad till att gå med på behandling vare sig denne vill det eller inte och förekommer i form av dold makt och hot, där klientens fria vilja inte beaktas. Tillämpningen av mål och syfte i LVM- lagen har visat sig skilja markant åt inom olika kommuner i Stockholms län, beroende på att det förekommer ett brett handlingsutrymme och en tolkningsbarhet i lagen samt att ingen standardmodell finns att följa.<br>The law (1988:870) concerning care of addicts in some cases (LVM) is a compulsory care law and is the only law that deviates from the voluntariness principle in the social care law, which gives social workers the ability to go against individual’s free will. This study aims to elucidate the factors that may contribute to the difficulties social workers may face in relation to LVM- law, individual's legal certainty and self- determination of the individual. The purpose is also to problematize the social worker's approach concerning application of the LVM- law and if its purpose and goal is fulfilled. The theoretical starting points that are used to analyze the empirical material are theories about the social worker's discretion and the ethical dilemmas that may arise in relation to the client, also included here are theories about power and motivation. The empirical material was gathered through semi-structured interviews with different social workers, thus the social workers own experiences was captured of the work with the LVM- law in practice. The result of the study has shown that there are certain contradictions in the LVM- law since it is a compulsory care law where social workers have the power to take away their free will of the client, while taking account the right of self-determination and integrity. In turn, the social workers are controlled by higher management’s power by management policies and directives, which have a negative effect on the social workers and clients. Motivation work with the client involves getting the client motivated to agree to treatment irrespective of whether he wants it or not and occurs in the form of hidden power and threats, where the client's free will, not will be considered. The application of goal and purpose of the LVM- law have shown to differ significantly in different municipalities in Stockholm county since there is a wide range of discretion, dependent on the existence of a wide discretion and interpretability of the law and that no standard model is to follow.

Foster, Susan. "The Relationship between Professional Identity and Collective Self- esteem in School Counselors." ScholarWorks@UNO, 2010. http://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/1269.
Full textAbstract:
All bona fide professions have affiliated professional organizations, ethical standards or a code of ethics, and an accrediting and sanctioning body that deals with preparation, credentialing, and licensure, and pride in one's profession (Gale & Austin, 2003; Remley & Herlihy, 2010). As school counseling continues to evolve, school counselors have struggled to define and maintain their role. This may be due, in part, to the social desirability an individual has to belong to dominant group in the school setting (Tajfel, 1986). School counselors may draw esteem from their professional membership. This concept, called collective self-esteem, denotes those aspects of identity that are related to membership in social groups and the respective value that one places on one's membership (Luhtanen & Crocker, 1992). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between collective self-esteem and professional identity. The findings of this study indicated that collective self-esteem was relatively stable and remained moderately high across several demographic variables related to professional identity. Collective self-esteem remained relatively consistent across level of practice, professional background, years of total experience and years of experience at the current school, and area of practice. Further, collective self-esteem remained moderately high for those who were affiliated with a counseling organization and those who were not. Results also suggested that collective self-esteem is constant regardless of variations in credentialing, chosen code of ethics, role definition (educator first or counselor first), and professional pride. Results indicated that collective self-esteem remained moderately high across several demographic areas and variables related to professional identity. Further, a significant positive correlation was found between pride in the profession and collective self-esteem was shown. Additionally, a small, significant negative correlation was garnered between those participants who viewed themselves as a counselor first and held an LPC or equivalent. Further, a significant relationship was found between those participants who defined their role as a counselor first and chose the NBCC Code of Ethics as their primary code of ethics and those participants who held the counselor first position and chose the ASCA Ethical Code as their primary code of ethics.

Previous issue date: 2009-02-05<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES<br>The purpose of this study is to analyze and understand the ethical-political direction
taken by the professional practice of Social Worker in the public health, specifically in
the field hospital of Joao Pessoa / PB. This theoretical production has become a
critical-analytical study of quantitative and qualitative character, as a methodological
procedure of analysis of the object. It is resulting from the investigation of the role of
Social Service in 5 public hospitals, to large. 37 social workers were been
interviewed, whose testimony about the daily practice of these professionals were
faced with the proposal of hegemonic act of the category, expressed in the ethicalpolitical
project of Social Service. In this process, tried to seize the objective and
subjective conditions of the interviewed. From the data found that within public
hospital is found dead of a different objective, fruit of the consolidation of neo-liberal
project of state in the country, challenges that arise as to the Social Worker forward
in implementing its Project Ethical-Political and the Health Reform Project, which are:
the gaps and lack of resources, poor quality of public services expressed in the slow
and poor attendance, failure and traces of improvisation, creating ambiguities in the
operation rules, the maintenance of neo-liberal hegemony that permeates the
structures and existing social relations. Facing these challenges, social workers,
usually, have activities that they respond, especially to institutional objectives, based
on immediate and routines required by the contracting agency. Therefore, these
professionals end up reinforcing the objectives of the institution and not the goals of
the Project Ethical-Political Training. This project is known by the whole surface of
the professionals interviewed, which compromises the interaction of multiple
relationships that he inspires as well as the deal makes critical social needs and
qualified professionals and contemporary. Finally, the research revealed that the
ethical and policy direction in the prevailing practice of social workers is still that
conformed to the cyclical trends and standards and institutional boundaries,
reinforcing the reproduction of the existing order and its game of power. This reality
has fracturing the historic achievements of the working class, but also compromises
the quality and consistency of the theoretical and methodological heritage, built by
the professional category, and thereby promoting the tearing of the ethical-political
culture that includes the defense of social justice, the citizenship and democracy.<br>O objetivo deste estudo consiste em analisar e compreender a direção ético-política
assumida pela prática profissional do/a Assistente Social no âmbito público de
saúde, especificamente na esfera hospitalar da cidade de João Pessoa/PB. A
presente produção teórica configura-se como um estudo analítico-crítico, de caráter
quanti-qualitativo, enquanto um procedimento metodológico de análise do objeto. É
resultante da investigação da atuação do Serviço Social em cinco hospitais públicos,
de grande porte. Foram entrevistados 34 Assistentes Sociais, cujos depoimentos
sobre suas práticas cotidianas foram confrontados com a proposta hegemônica de
atuação da categoria, expressa no Projeto Ético-Político do Serviço Social. Nesse
processo, pretendeu-se apreender as condições objetivas e subjetivas dos sujeitos
entrevistados. A partir dos dados percebeu-se que, no âmbito hospitalar público,
encontram-se diversos impasses de ordem objetiva, frutos da consolidação do
projeto de Estado neoliberal no país, que se colocam como desafios para o/a
Assistente Social avançar na implementação do seu Projeto Ético-Político e do
Projeto de Reforma Sanitária, quais sejam: os desvios e insuficiência de recursos,
má qualidade dos serviços públicos expressa no atendimento moroso e precário,
traços de improvisação e inoperância, gerando ambiguidades no funcionamento
normativo; a manutenção da hegemonia neoliberal que perpassa as estruturas e
relações sociais vigentes. Diante desses desafios, os/as Assistentes Sociais,
comumente, exercem atividades que acabam respondendo, sobretudo, aos objetivos
institucionais, pautados no imediatismo e nas rotinas requisitadas pelo organismo
contratante. Logo, esses profissionais reforçam os objetivos da instituição e não os
objetivos do Projeto Ético-Político Profissional. Tal Projeto é conhecido
superficialmente pelo conjunto dos profissionais entrevistados, o que compromete a
interlocução das múltiplas relações que ele inspira, assim como impossibilita o trato
crítico e qualificado às necessidades sociais e profissionais contemporâneas. Enfim,
a pesquisa revelou que a direção ético-política prevalecente na prática profissional
dos/as Assistentes Sociais ainda é aquela conformada às tendências conjunturais e
às normas e limites institucionais, reforçando a reprodução da ordem vigente e o seu
jogo de poder. Essa realidade, por fim, pode fraturar as conquistas históricas da
classe trabalhadora, como também comprometer a qualidade e a coerência do
patrimônio teórico-metodológico construído pela categoria profissional, e promover,
desse modo, o esgarçamento da cultura ético-política que comporta a defesa da
justiça social, da cidadania e da democracia.

Previous issue date: 2012-11-01<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>This work studies the pedagogical practice of the social worker and college professor. The
theme was chosen because of the researcher s career. The objective of the study is to
understand the construction of pedagogical practice of the social worker and college
professor, and his relationship with the theoretical elements, political and ethical issues
inherent in the formation of social work. The methodology is qualitative research, because
this methodology allows us to analyze the phenomenon from the reality and the interaction
with the subject. The research was done through literature research of the themes: education,
higher education, vocational training in social work and ethical-political project of profession.
Also was done through field research with interviews with six social workers and college
professors. The data were presented in three categories: education, higher education and
pedagogical practice of the social worker and college professor. It was found that the research
subjects defend a critical perspective of education, the professional project of social work, and
an emancipatory model of society. However, in Brazil, in actuality, has occurred the
expansion of private higher education and the strengthening of the commodifying of
education. This dispute is responsible for the intensification of the contradictions in the
construction of pedagogical practice of the social worker and college professor. According to
the research, the pedagogical practice has been guided by the ongoing construction process
and qualification. Therefore, the particularity of the social worker and college professor is
defending the ethical-political project of the profession<br>Este trabalho busca refletir sobre a prática pedagógica do assistente social docente. O tema de
estudo foi escolhido devido à trajetória da pesquisadora, cuja aproximação com a temática da
educação na graduação foi potencializada devido à sua inserção na docência no ano de 2010.
O objetivo do estudo é compreender a construção da prática pedagógica do assistente social
docente e sua relação com os elementos teóricos, políticos e éticos inerentes à formação do
Serviço Social. Para a realização do estudo optou-se pela metodologia da pesquisa qualitativa,
visto que essa possibilita analisar o fenômeno a partir de seu movimento na realidade e na
interação com o sujeito. A pesquisa foi efetuada por meio de um estudo bibliográfico das
temáticas educação, ensino superior, formação em Serviço Social e projeto ético-político da
profissão somado à realização de uma pesquisa de campo realizada através da técnica de
entrevista semiestruturada com seis assistentes sociais que trabalham como docentes no curso
de Serviço Social. Optou-se por entrevistar assistentes sociais que tiveram sua inserção na
docência em diversos espaços de tempo e em diferentes locais de trabalho, objetivando, desta
forma, contemplar a heterogeneidade do universo pesquisado. Os dados colhidos e analisados
estão apresentados em três categorias: educação, ensino superior e prática pedagógica do
assistente social docente. Constatou-se que os sujeitos da pesquisa defendem uma perspectiva
crítica de educação, que está associada à defesa do projeto profissional do Serviço Social e a
um modelo societário emancipador. Porém, realmente pensar a defesa desses projetos, assim
como sua articulação no atual cenário do ensino superior no Brasil tem sido uma das grandes
dificuldades devido à expansão desenfreada do ensino superior no campo privado, que tem
fortalecido a tendência mercantilizante da educação, sendo exatamente essa disputa de
projetos responsável pelo acirramento das contradições presentes na construção da prática
pedagógica do assistente social docente, que, de acordo com a pesquisa, tem sido pautada por
um permanente processo de construção e qualificação, em que os princípios norteadores do
projeto ético-político são considerados elementos centrais, assim como a participação nas
entidades organizativas da categoria, como a ABEPSS, e a necessidade de organização
coletiva desses docentes, aspectos esses que são vistos como alternativas de enfrentamento ao
processo de precarização das condições de trabalho e formação. Destarte, a particularidade do
assistente social docente reside na defesa do projeto ético-político da profissão, que não é feita
pela totalidade dos profissionais, mas que em nossa pesquisa foi destacada e enfatizada pelos
sujeitos

Previous issue date: 2009-10-16<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>The current thesis has the social worker majoring process: a permanent challenge as a theme
whose aim was to scrutinize the academician acting in this procedure. In order to make it
happen, a investigative path has been ridden on Education and social service altogether. In
this theses I try to explore the limitations and possibilities as to critical and ethical social
workers are majored, highlighting academician role in the information process, taking into
account the ethical-political project and its ethical code as a craft as well. One of the major
promises in which the research has its heart on, is a acknowledgement that the social worker
as a social services majoring academician needs some knowledge from teaching to exercise
this practice, for only professional exercise doesn t make them eligible for such. To perform
such research it was necessary to study a graphic learning process for the Social Services

qual a pesquisa se apoia é o reconhecimento de que o assistente social enquanto docente do
curso de Serviço Social necessita de conhecimentos de natureza didática e pedagógica para
exercer essa prática, pois só o exercício profissional não o qualifica para isso. Para realização
da pesquisa buscou-se conhecer o processo de ensino aprendizagem dos alunos de graduação

Among the top Fortune 100 U.S. companies, 97% claim to be global business citizens, primarily based on self-evaluated qualitative criteria. The purpose of this quantitative cross-sectional survey design study was to develop a self-administered survey and apply it to calculate a composite index rating that assesses the maturity level a company has attained toward becoming a global business citizen. The theoretical framework underpinning the research was based on the theory of global business citizenship (GBC) and accompanying four-step implementation process. The GBC theory was utilized to develop the research survey consisting of 1 qualifying question and 22 Likert-type questions. The survey was administered to a qualified random sample of business executives in the United States with 172 usable responses received. These survey questions were then rationalized via exploratory factor analysis (EFA). EFA identified ten key questions with strong eigenvalues and grouped the interrelated items into three factors. Subsequently, the EFA-computed eigenvalues were used to develop a composite index formula. The key findings revealed that only three factors explained 70% of the variance and were named VALUE, IMPLEMENT, and LEARN, as proposed in the GBC theory itself. Questions related to the ANALY step of the GBC theory were not significant. Social change benefits include providing business leaders with a quantitative tool to help communicate to their stakeholders the steps they have achieved toward becoming a global business citizen.

The current survey of 83 e-therapy websites with marriage and family therapists examined what consumers seeking online therapy or therapy over the phone might find on the Internet. The study explored how e-therapy websites characterize their services and comply with the ethical guidelines of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. Furthermore, differences in compliance with ethical guidelines among the three types of the websites (individual practice websites, group practice websites, and independent contractor websites) were analyzed. Results indicated that a majority of the websites lack information regarding several major areas (e.g., crisis resources, terms of service, procedures to treatment of minors, procedures to provision of therapy across borders). In support of previous findings, compliance to ethical guidelines was low and uneven. The websites focused mostly on positive aspects of e-therapy and in some cases, used suggestive or misleading language. When the three groups were compared, the independent contractor websites demonstrated statistically significantly higher compliance than the other two groups. This study points out several disturbing patterns and calls for clear e-therapy guidelines, which are currently lacking.

Full textAbstract:
The Ellison Executive Mentoring Inclusive Community Building (ICB) Model is a paradigm for initiating and implementing projects utilizing executives and professionals from a variety of fields and industries, university students, and pre-college students. The model emphasizes adherence to ethical values and promotes inclusiveness in community development. It is a hierarchical model in which actors in each succeeding level of operation serve as mentors to the next. Through a three-step process--content, process, and product--participants must be trained with this mentoring and apprenticeship paradigm in conflict resolution, and they receive sensitivitiy and diversity training, through an interactive and dramatic exposition. The content phase introduces participants to the model's philosophy, ethics, values and methods of operation. The process used to teach and reinforce its precepts is the mentoring and apprenticeship activities and projects in which the participants engage and whose end product demontrates their knowledge and understanding of the model's concepts. This study sought to ascertain from the participants' perspectives whether the model's mentoring approach is an effective means of fostering inclusiveness, based upon their own experiences in using it. The research utilized a qualitative approach and included data from field observations, individual and group interviews, and written accounts of participants' attitudes. Participants complete ICB projects utilizing the Ellison Model as a method of development and implementation. They generally perceive that the model is a viable tool for dealing with diversity issues whether at work, at school, or at home. The projects are also instructional in that whether participants are mentored or seve as apprentices, they gain useful skills and knowledge about their careers. Since the model is relatively new, there is ample room for research in a variety of areas including organizational studies to dertmine its effectiveness in combating problems related to various kinds of discrimination.

The thesis is focused on the topic of professional ethics in social services and its reflection in the supervisory process. The thesis is divided into two parts, the interpretation and the research, and aims to explore the topic of professional ethics in social services in the supervisory process from the perspective of supervisors. Research is conducted using qualitative research strategies, through interviews with eight supervisors. The data analysis brings several conclusions, one of them is the fact that supervision is essential for the professional ethics of social workers. Supervision contributes in that social work is based on a more conscious professionalism and less on intuition. This all brings a more comprehensive picture of the influence of supervision on the compliance with professional ethics in social services. Keywords: Ethics, professional ethics, codes of ethics, ethical dilemmas, social work, social worker, supervision, supervisor.

In this diploma thesis the conception of moral responsibility and the conception of conscience which are registered in the Ethical code of social workers in the Czech Republic are mapped, analysed and critically reflected. All these is done with regard to a social worker with an aim to find out what value the moral responsibility and conscience in the code of a social worker has and to see what role in pursuance of his/her performance these concepts play. The moral responsibility of a social worker in the Ethical code is not described properly. The responsibility is mentioned there all together seven times, however, in an undefined sometimes even in a misleading way. In most cases it is impossible to decide what is a social worker responsible for and who to. To be able to identify mutual relations within required responsibility the social worker must integrate his/her conscience which is a primary principle of responsibility. Nevertheless, the conscience is not mentioned in the Ethical code at all, therefore it would be appropriate to incorporate it to it.

FACTOR STRUCTURE AND PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES
The study at hand involves developing the Gregory Research Beliefs Scale (GRBS) to reliably and validly measure social work students’ beliefs about the function of research in social work practice. Research has considerable actual and potential benefits for practice. Social work students’ beliefs about this construct are vital. A description of the advantages of using research to inform practice is given. Additionally, the Council on Social Work Education and National Association of Social Workers’ policies that mandate the merger of research and practice are also provided to further justify the need for adequate psychometric evaluation of the construct. Details of the literature search strategy are described and critical evaluations of the empirical articles are conducted. Based on critical evaluations of instruments which have previously measured the same construct, a number of psychometric shortcomings are outlined to validate the need for further scale development of the construct. The present study’s objectives were to develop a scale which has an empirically and theoretically supported factor structure, acceptable coefficient alpha levels, empirically supported discriminant (divergent) validity, concurrent criterion validity, and known–groups criterion validity. Steps for developing the GRBS’s items, response format, sample, research design, and statistical tests are specified and conducted to determine the factor structure and psychometric properties. Finally, the strengths, limitations, and areas for future research are discussed.

The thesis deals with the influence of media on social work. Emphasis is placed on the media and the ethical principles of mass communication. The aim is to explore the mechanisms that the media use to influence the recipients, which functions the media have in society, how we can classify recipients of media messages, what can influence the final form of communication, and whether the ethical principles of journalism and the ethical principles of social work have the same foundation so media can serve the fulfilment of the mission of social work. The work is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the characteristics of the media, the public and media communications. The basic concepts of media studies are mentioned. The second part focuses on the ethics of the media.

The third part is more focused on social work and clarifies the relationship between media and social work. The last part includes current topics that fall into social work activities and which are widely publicized. The aim is to interpret the behaviour of the media in relation to social work.

Full textAbstract:
The diploma thesis deals with an analysis of a concept of a value on the basis of the selected literature. It tries to point out a connection of ethical theories with a practical human behaviour. It has been structured from an explanation of key concepts as ethics, morality, manners; it examines a word of the value and fundamental philosophical theories which are associated with values. In detail it analyses the values in terms of so called philosophy of the material and formal subjectivism. It focuses on representatives of the phenomenology - Max Scheler, Nikolai Hartmann and Dietrich von Hildebrand. It specifies approaches to the values as well as in terms of a human personality, especially from a perspective of the analytical psychology. The thesis shows an importance of the values in the practical application - in the professional ethics of social work, where ethical codes provide an orientation for employees. Caritas Czech Republic was chosen as a model organization. That is also why a theological perspective on the values has been mentioned and basic values and principles of the Code of Caritas Czech Republic as well. This study should be a stimulus for a further exploration of the concept of the value and its significance for human beings. It considers the values to be a fundamental motivation that will lead mankind to a good behaviour (virtues) in the future.

Wilson, Marques Louise. "Applying the Canadian Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics in uniquely-situated northern geographical locations: are there factors in practice environments that impact adherence to the 2005 code?" 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/1993/4204.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore social work practitioner familiarity with and interpretation of the 2005 Canadian Association of Social Workers (CASW) Code of Ethics (“Code”) to determine whether specific sections of the existing Code enable social work practitioners to deliver ethical service in uniquely-situated geographical locations in northern Manitoba.
A qualitative research style with exploratory methodology was employed in this study. In-person interviews were conducted with six social workers who have practiced in a northern Manitoba setting for at least three years post- graduation. Once given the opportunity to read and interpret the 2005 Code, five of six respondents reported that the intent of the Code is reflective of their practice, an apparent contradiction between how they described their understanding of the intent of the Code versus their practice realities. All reported that dual roles and potential conflicts of interest are very difficult to avoid when practicing social work in the North. Other key findings indicate that the study participants believe that social workers in the North: are not familiar with the 2005 Code; have a lack of education, knowledge, discussion and accessibility in this Code, and find there is a lack of application of this Code in practice environments.
The emergence of the Manitoba College of Social Workers (MCSW), through legislation, will require that all practicing social workers adhere to the 2005 Code of Ethics. All six participants reported factors in northern, rural, remote and isolated environments that affect his/her ability to adhere to the 2005 Code. When social workers are required to register to use the title of Social Worker, the MCSW will be in a position to recognize the environmental factors of practicing in northern, rural, remote and isolated environments. MCSW may choose to consider that, where social workers are required to adhere to the 2005 Code, it may not be feasible in northern, rural, remote and isolated practice areas due to specific factors that have been identified throughout this study.
In future studies, consideration and flexibility on behalf of the Psychology/Sociology Research Ethics Board (PSREB) may be necessary in order to ensure that research subjects are protected versus the need to understand, through research, the realities of social work practice. Secondly, researchers interested in expanding or replicating the findings of this study may choose to consider the disclosure and provision of the interview questions prior to the actual interviews. Additionally, future research to review ethical practice in the social work profession would facilitate a broader understanding of whether all social workers practice under existing requirements set out in current MIRSW by-laws and, in the future, provincial legislation that is applicable to every social worker in Manitoba.
This study was limited to six participants. Broader research to more fully investigate the practical realities of applying the 2005 Code in northern environments could inform how the new legislation is implemented.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to introduce the basic problems of social status and internet consulting services to the reader. Here the service is seen in the ethical and psychological context because an internet counselor cannot do without these points of view when he tries to provide a customer service in the highest possible quality. I focus on the e-mail form of providing online advice as it is the most commonly used type of e-communication between a client and an advisor. Psychological and ethical determinants of the whole process are complementary, intersect, there are no single boundaries between them, whether from the point of view of ethics they are values on which to build human rights or the Code of Ethics for social workers, hence iKodex valid for social services in the online environment or from psychology perspective it is a virtual communication process between a counselor and a client, in which the art of communication, the changing identity of a man, manifested aggression, transference and countertransference and the actual on-line environment play role. The aim is to highlight the complex and ambiguous status of online counseling services.

Full textAbstract:
My work analyses the legislation changes in the area of social and legal protection of children in the Czech Republic that have been introduced over the last two years. This work focuses on impacts of these changes in the practice of transferring children to substitute care as well as ethical aspects directly connected with this process. Laws impacting the social and legal protection of children are being compared in order to understand the legal rights of children. The consequences of the legislative changes have a direct effect on the processes of handing children to substitute care. The work is not only concerned with the practical impacts, but also with the ethical side of the problem which was identified as the most important in my thesis. Case reports from my own practice provide a complementary evidence to the reader to better understand the process of placement of children into substitute care both at professional and ethical levels.

Full textAbstract:
The diploma thesis deals with the description of terms such as senior, old age and basic physical and psychological changes that accompany this period. The next part of the thesis describes the concept of client, social worker and the possibilities of social work legislation in the Czech Republic. In the third part the thesis describes in detail the terms such as ethics, ethical behavior, professional ethics, ethical code and ethical dilemmas. The following chapter, based on a written questionnaire, describes the view of the ethical dilemmas of six female social workers. Furthermore, in this chapter, I present 13 selected dilemma situations that are based on the direct practice of female social workers. This part of the thesis is followed by another chapter, in which the analysis of the selected dilemma situation is carried out and a preview of the various ethical theories most frequently encountered in the literature. The ethical theories chosen are deontology, utilitarianism and ethics of care. The aim of this thesis was to describe the basic concepts of ethical dilemmas with which workers in social services can meet. The concrete practical solution of individual ethical situations by social service workers will enable a realistic view of solving ethical dilemmas in practice. The analysis of a particular selected dilemma situation will provide a view of solving this situation using the most important ethical approaches. Knowledge of these approaches can help social workers to make choices and choose the right ethical approach.
