Maltrato en adultos mayores en Saltillo Coahuila

The present work was carried out by teachers of the Universidad Autonoma de Coahuila, its objective was to design an instrument to evaluate the abuse of the elderly in the city of Saltillo, Coahuila, to implement with the results obtained, social service programs that provide information on violence in the elderly, identify behaviors of the aggressor, observer and victim, as well as know their fundamental rights and institutions to go to. The instrument was applied at the Geriatric Hospital, 35 older adults participated, aged between 60 and 90 years. It was inspired by the Psychometric Validation of the questionnaire “This is how we get along in school”, and the Questionnaire prepared by INAPAM and SEDESOL, of both instruments resulted in the adaptation consisting of 35 reagents, dispersed in 4 factors: physical, psychological, damage to the property and financial, and sexual harassment. The results show that there is abuse in this group, of 19%, although its manifestation is not very marked, if there is one, corroborating what other studies say that this health problem is silent, by the person of the third age by loyalty to family values or for fear of reprisals from the person who takes care of him.

Precarious Situation

During February 2021, a protest was organized by Mexican medical students through social media. About 200 interns, social service physicians and physicians protested peacefully in front of the city hall of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, the capital of Mexico's second largest metropolitan area. Due to the current contingency situation, it was requested to attend with face shield and masks. The reason for the protest was to raise their voice due to the precarious situation where social service physicians are sent to rural areas of the country in which they have all the obligations of workers but without belonging to the working class - lacking the the benefits of this same as a living wage or fair working hours. The protesters were in limbo between student and worker. The protest also demanded justice for the sensitive death of young doctors due to malpractice situations of the Mexican authorities. We believe that a total reform of the social service in medicine is necessary. It is the responsibility of the authorities to cover the rural areas with permanently trained doctors without depending on recently graduated doctors. It is always important to assert our fundamental rights, including the right to protest in a peaceful manner.

Purpose: The global forced migration crisis calls for responsive, research-supported social services. This systematic review examines available research on social service programs implemented with refugees worldwide. Methods: Through accessing academic databases, reviewing article reference lists and websites, and contacting experts, we identified 1,402 sources, 68 of which met review inclusion criteria and were selected for analysis. Results: Studies were conducted primarily in high-income countries ( n = 57). Programs examined were related to general adaptation ( n = 13), relationships ( n = 20), financial and employment support ( n = 15), or a specific area such as sport or gardening ( n = 20). Few studies used pre–post ( n = 6) or experimental designs ( n = 1), and in a majority of studies, the theory underlying the intervention was not specified ( n = 41). Discussion: Additional research is needed to better understand social service programming with refugees, particularly in understudied contexts.

Possible Cause

A pilot telecare system was trialled in Liverpool. It was used to support the provision of care to 21 of the city council's elderly and frail social services clients. A typical installation consisted of about 20 wireless, ambient sensors in the client's home. A home gateway device ran alerting algorithms designed to learn the normal patterns of user behaviour and to identify deviations from this in real-time. When deviations were detected, social service delivery teams were alerted to a possible cause for concern. The pilot service ran for about 30 months and included a period of examination by independent evaluators. The evaluation found that overall the people who used the service – both users and carers – were overwhelmingly pleased with it and viewed it as a great success.

As the home computer and the Internet are becoming more and more popular, social service agencies in Hong Kong are beginning to show interests in making use of the new technology to extend social welfare services to the community. This paper presents the results of an empirical study to evaluate the Cyber-Parenting Project as a pioneer attempt in providing parenting education through the Internet and gives recommendations for future attempts of similar nature. The discussion covers the conceptualisation, design, implementation and utility of the Cyber-Parenting Project, and the recommendations include issues on system design, provision, testing, and monitoring of web-based social service programs. 由於家用電腦及萬維網的應用日益普及，本港的社會服務機構亦開始思考如何應用這新科技去進一步延展社會福利服務到社區；而“Cyber親職教育網”便是利用萬維網去提供親職教育的一項創新計劃。本文就對該計劃進行的實證研究結果去評估該計劃在構思、設計、執行、及效用各方面的得失，並因應評估結果作出關乎系統設計、提供、測試、及監控等多方面的建議，供有興趣發展網上服務的福利機構及人仕參考。

The co-ordination of services for the long-term mentally ill in the community poses difficulties of organisation. Each country has its own health and social service structure which influences the development of such services. This paper outlines an approach to co-ordinating care in Portsmouth. The mental health services were well known in the ‘30s because of their community orientation due to the leadership of Thomas Beaton, the superintendent of St James' Hospital (Freeman, 1962). The city has a population of 210,000. Previous seaside holiday accommodation is now utilised for residential care homes for the elderly and the mentally ill.

Social Service Programs

Higher education institutions should adapt the development of science and technology in order to meet the society demand along the ages. They are expected to produce human resources with academic and leadership capability and ethics who are also adaptive to the technological development. In order to achieve that, the instituations are required to carry out quality research and social service programs that can improve the societies. The programs should be based on science and the implementation of the education and research with clear targets. However, in practice, the social service programs are often irrelevant to the society needs as well as to the fields of the lecturers and students involved in the programs. This proves the gap between the ideal and the real condition of the Indonesian higher education quality. The situation is influenced by several factors, including the poor management, economics, and social realities. In order to overcome them, a comprehensive program for developing the profesionalism of the lecturers is needed in which the government, the instituation, and the society are all involved. The Minister of Education and Culture Affair Regulation No 49/2014 regulates the standard for the social service, which is an important part of the Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi. According to it, the program should be organized by the Social Service Board with its principles for institutionalism, education, cooperation, sustainability, social empowerment, and regional development.<br style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" />
