    Care cooperatives in Uruguay, Argentina and Chile; a look at their hinderers and opportunities to achieve development
    (2023) Miranda Sánchez, Paula; Inostroza Correa, Alejandra; Aparicio Alonso, Andres David
    Este artículo presenta un estudio exploratorio sobre los factores que fortalecen a las cooperativas de cuidado en Uruguay, Argentina y Chile. Estas organizaciones voluntarias se basan en el concepto de "trabajo decente", con el objetivo de brindar soluciones a la formalización laboral, las aspiraciones económicas y la creciente demanda de servicios de cuidado de la población. Sin embargo, a pesar de sus objetivos, estas cooperativas a menudo encuentran barreras relacionadas con la equidad de género, la dinámica del mercado laboral y las condiciones de bienestar que obstaculizan su alineación con estos ideales. Esta situación abre la siguiente pregunta de investigación: ¿Cuáles son las condiciones bajo las cuales se constituyen las cooperativas de cuidado en Uruguay, Argentina y Chile? Para trabajar la cuestión propuesta nuestro objetivo general es explorar las experiencias y percepciones de las personas asociadas al mundo de las cooperativas de cuidados. Para investigar esta dinámica, realizamos 16 entrevistas electrónicas semiestructuradas en Uruguay, Argentina y Chile, utilizando un enfoque de muestreo en bola de nieve. Estas entrevistas profundizaron en los principales obstáculos y facilitadores que influyen en el desarrollo de estas iniciativas cooperativas. Nuestros hallazgos subrayan los diversos desafíos que enfrentan las cooperativas de atención, incluidos aquellos asociados con cuestiones relacionadas con el género, la falta de experiencia y la necesidad esencial de apoyotanto público como privado. Ellogro de este artículo es establecer una plataforma de diálogo en torno a las cooperativas de cuidado dentro del Cono Sur de América Latina. Arrojamos luz sobre el imperativo de la formalización y los complejos problemas que surgen al intentar satisfacer la creciente demanda de servicios de cuidado en la región

    Client violence towards childcare workers: a systematic literature review
    (2023) Díaz Bórquez, Daniela; Calderón Orellana, Magdalena; Inostroza Correa, Alejandra; Varas González, Gonzalo
    Client violence against childcare workers is a relevant problem due to its impact on their well-being and the service they provide due to their significant role in the child protection process. This study explored violence against childcare workers using a systematic literature review. PubMed, Science Direct, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar were searched for studies that included the words workers, childcare workers, child protection workers, social workers, user violence, client violence, child violence, parental violence, client aggression, client-perpetrated violence, residential childcare, childcare centres, and/or child protection centres. A total of twenty studies were included. Most studies described violent incidents, often directly involving children or their parents. The results indicate that the effects of violence significantly impact the life and well-being of workers and those workers and organizations naturalize it. It is necessary to advance in the denaturation of violence in the workplace and agree on a violence definition to implement preventive measures such as induction, training, and supervision.

    Exploring Latin American Organizational Social Work (OSW): a primary analysis of the conceptual, epistemic and methodological bases of OST in Latin American schools of social work
    (2024) Inostroza Correa, Alejandra; Miranda Sánchez, Paula; Calderón Orellana, Magdalena; Farah Ojeda, Jorge
    Despite the prevalence of social workers working in the organizational field, there is no consensus in the literature on what Organizational Social Work (OSW) is and how it is understood from a Latin American perspective. This greatly hinders undergraduate and graduate education in the area and the training of new professionals. The objective of this article is to identify the theoretical, conceptual, epistemic, and methodological bases underlying the practice and teaching of OSW in Latin America, and to reveal the challenges and shortcomings present in teaching. A grounded theory approach was used to conduct 12 in-depth interviews with social workers to explore their definitions of OSW from an academic perspective. The results indicate that OSW taught in universities does not have a precise definition, which is linked to deficits in the available literature. OSW is an interdisciplinary field that arises from practice rather than theory, and its great challenge is the establishment of research and structured academic education.

    (2024) Calderon Orellana, Magdalena; Inostroza Correa, Alejandra; Miranda Sánchez, Paula; Farah Ojeda, Jorge
    Addressing social work challenges requires interdisciplinary approaches. While traditionally linked with health, law, and education, its connection with administration is underexplored. This research examines the management-social work relationship in South American training programs. Using qualitative methods, it highlights the scope and challenges of interdisciplinary collaboration.
