    El portafolio digital como herramienta de aprendizaje en la supervisión de prácticas durante la COVID-19
    (Universidad de Valencia, 2022) Viscarret Garro, Juan Jesús; Úriz Pemán, María Jesús; Ballestero Izquierdo, Alberto; Sociología y Trabajo Social; Soziologia eta Gizarte Lana
    Las prácticas profesionales son un elemento fundamental para vincular la formación teórica con la aplicación de conocimientos y competencias al ámbito profesional. En marzo de 2020 la COVID-19 hizo que los equipos docentes de prácticas tuviesen que rediseñarlas para cumplir con las actividades formativas y, en ese contexto, el portafolio digital demostró ser una herramienta fundamental. El objetivo principal de este artículo es analizar la utilidad del portafolio digital como herramienta de aprendizaje en la supervisión de prácticas del Máster Universitario en Intervención Social de la Universidad Pública de Navarra. La metodología de la investigación obedece a un estudio cualitativo de caso, mediante el análisis de los portafolios elaborados por el alumnado durante los cursos académicos 2019-2020 y 2020-2021. Los resultados del estudio proporcionan más fortalezas que debilidades respecto al uso del portafolio digital como herramienta de supervisión de prácticas. Finalmente, las conclusiones ofrecen una serie de sugerencias útiles para mejorar el uso del portafolio en el futuro.

    Social work beyond the pandemic: exploring social work values for a new eco-social world
    (SAGE, 2024) Banks, Sarah; Bertotti, Teresa; Cairns, Lynne; Shears, Jane; Shum, Michelle; Sobocan, Ana M.; Strom, Kimberly; Úriz Pemán, María Jesús; Sociología y Trabajo Social; Soziologia eta Gizarte Lana; Institute for Advanced Social Research - ICOMMUNITAS
    This article draws on a series of international research-focused webinars with social workers in 2022. They were designed to examine the rethinking of professional values during the pandemic in the context of other global crises, particularly the climate emergency. Participants readily shared ethical issues relating to self-care, digital working and reduced bureaucracy during the pandemic and implications for future practice. The need for holistic, community-based approaches integrating social, health and economic aspects of people¿s lives arose, and the importance of seeing humans as part of the natural world (eco-social approaches). Awareness of newer post-anthropocentric and posthuman philosophies was less evident.

    Cuestiones éticas en los servicios sociales en España: un estudio de caso
    (Centro de Estudos Sociais da Universidade de Coimbra, 2023) Úriz Pemán, María Jesús; Viscarret Garro, Juan Jesús; Ballestero Izquierdo, Alberto; Sociología y Trabajo Social; Soziologia eta Gizarte Lana
    Los servicios sociales promueven el bienestar de las personas y las comunidades y potencian la autonomía de las personas usuarias. El artículo presenta un estudio de caso sobre cuestiones éticas en una organización pública de servicios sociales en España, basado en cuestionarios cualitativos rellenados por profesionales que trabajan en dichos servicios. En primer lugar, el estudio detalla cómo la ética de los servicios sociales debe dar soporte a la solución de dilemas éticos, como el respeto a la autodeterminación y la búsqueda del bienestar, los conflictos entre valores individuales y profesionales, y los dilemas derivados de la limitación de recursos. Además, también se explican algunas cuestiones relativas a la toma de decisiones éticas en aspectos como el acceso a recursos y el respeto a la autonomía. Finalmente, se recogen propuestas de mejora para la calidad ética de la atención, como una mayor formación en ética y la creación de comités y espacios de reflexión ética.

    Ethical decision-making of social workers in Spain during COVID-19: cases and responses
    (SAGE, 2021) Úriz Pemán, María Jesús; Viscarret Garro, Juan Jesús; Ballestero Izquierdo, Alberto; Sociología y Trabajo Social; Soziologia eta Gizarte Lana
    In this article we address the ethical decision-making processes of social work professionals in Spain during the first wave of COVID-19. We present some of the findings from a broader international research project led by professor Sarah Banks and carried out in collaboration with the International Federation of Social Workers. The first wave of COVID-19 had a major impact in Spain, hitting harder the most vulnerable groups. In this unprecedented and unexpected context, social workers had to make difficult ethical decisions on fundamental issues such as respecting service-user’s autonomy, prioritizing wellbeing, maintaining confidentiality or deciding the fair distribution of the scarce resources. There were moments of uncertainty and difficult institutional responses. The broader international project was carried out using an online questionnaire addressed to social work professionals in several countries. In this article, through several specific cases, we examine the ethical decision-making processes of social work professionals in Spain, as well as the way to resolve that situations. We have used a qualitative content analysis with a deductive approach to analyze the responses and cases. Findings show many difficult situations concerning the prioritization of the wellbeing of users without limiting their autonomy, the invention of new organizational protocols to provide support and resources for vulnerable people… Social workers had to manage the bureaucracy and had to solve some emergency situations getting personally involved or developing other cooperation mechanisms. The pandemic forced them to look for new forms of social intervention. © The Author(s) 2021.

    (SAGE, 2020) Banks, Sarah; Cai, Tian; Jonge, Ed de; Shears, Jane; Úriz Pemán, María Jesús; Sociología y Trabajo Social; Soziologia eta Gizarte Lana
    This article draws on findings of an international study of social workers’ ethical challenges during COVID-19, based on 607 responses to a qualitative survey. Ethical challenges included the following: maintaining trust, privacy, dignity and service user autonomy in remote relationships; allocating limited resources; balancing rights and needs of different parties; deciding whether to break or bend policies in the interests of service users; and handling emotions and ensuring care of self and colleagues. The article considers regional contrasts, the ‘ethical logistics’ of complex decision-making, the impact of societal inequities, and lessons for social workers and professional practice around the globe.

    (CSIC, 2020) Idareta Goldaracena, Francisco; Viscarret Garro, Juan Jesús; Ballestero Izquierdo, Alberto; Úriz Pemán, María Jesús; Sociología y Trabajo Social; Soziologia eta Gizarte Lana
    La identidad del trabajo social es eminentemente moral y en la consolidación de la misma ha tenido mucho que ver la producción científica en materia de ética publicada hasta la fecha. Por ello, el propósito del presente artículo consiste en analizar esta producción científica en el área de ética del trabajo social a nivel nacional. Para ello, se realiza un análisis de carácter descriptivo-observacional de la producción publicada en España en revistas y monográficos del área de ciencias sociales desde 1900 a 2015. El análisis cualitativo da cuenta de los años de mayor producción científica, de las revistas y las editoriales más destacadas, así como de los autores que más publicaciones poseen sobre esta materia. Esta investigación, la primera de sus características en España, confirma la correcta adecuación de la periodización establecida por estudios previos sobre la historia de la ética del trabajo social en este país.

    (NTNU, 2023) Úriz Pemán, María Jesús; Viscarret Garro, Juan Jesús; Ballestero Izquierdo, Alberto; Sociología y Trabajo Social; Soziologia eta Gizarte Lana
    This article presents the main ethical challenges faced by social work professionals in Spain during the "first wave" of COVID-19 in 2020. The pandemic had a serious impact not only on the health sector, but also in the field of social work. During this time, social workers had to address serious ethical questions regarding issues such as confidentiality breaches, how to fairly distribute available resources, the lack of personal contact and emotional connection with the service users, the difficulties of working in isolation and online, doubts about the reliability of the information they were handling and the difficulty of making proper diagnoses. An international research group led by Dr.Sara Banks conducted a broader research project in collaboration with the International Federation of Social Workers,which collected information through an online questionnaire aimed at social workers from various countries. In this article we analyse the results related tothe main ethical challenges faced by social workersin Spain.The research group identified two types of ethical challenges that they haveseparated into two sections: the first sectionis related to direct interventionwith users, which includes topics such as the lack of emotional support, reliability, use of technology, the appropriate care, compliance with the highest professional standards,confidentiality, vulnerability, and the fair distributionof resources. The other sectionis related to the ethical challenges around the daily workwithin social entities, which involveddealing with issues such as the e-social work and coordination difficulties, the management of pressure in social bodies and changes in the intervention methodology.
