Abstract

ABSTRACT This article focuses on the experiences of social care workers during the first wave of the Covid pandemic. The method involved analyzing diaries kept by 65 professionals in 8 French regions during the first lockdown in France in the spring of 2020. As a form of non-binding, narrative expression, keeping diaries breaks with traditional models of reporting common in social care structures and allowed professionals to reflect on the experience as it was lived. In the diaries, professionals explored how the crisis disrupted and challenged their personal and professional values but also allowed innovation in care practices for vulnerable populations that will continue beyond the pandemic period. Five care values were put to forefront by professionals: (1) spontaneity/flexibility; (2) respect for persons; (3) team reflexivity; (4) innovation; (5) solidarity. Mobilizing philosopher Paul Ricoeur’s ideas on recognition, Payet and Laforgue’s analysis of weak actors, as well as research on moral distress, we discuss how these values were tested during the crisis and what effect they had on professionals’ and users’ vulnerabilities. We will also elaborate the interest of keeping account of social care work through narrative methods.
从道德困境到相互承认:新冠肺炎危机期间法国医护人员的日记
本文重点介绍了社会护理工作者在第一波新冠肺炎大流行中的经验。该方法分析了2020年春季法国第一次封锁期间法国8个地区65名专业人士的日记。作为一种非约束性、叙述性的表达形式,日记打破了社会护理结构中常见的传统报告模式,并允许专业人员在生活中反思经验。在日记中,专业人员探讨了这场危机如何扰乱和挑战他们的个人和职业价值观,但也允许在大流行时期之后继续对弱势群体进行护理实践的创新。专业人员最重视的五个护理价值是:(1)自发性/灵活性;(二)尊重他人;(3)团队反身性;(4)创新;(5)团结。运用哲学家保罗·里科尔关于认知的观点,帕耶特和拉弗格对弱势行为者的分析,以及对道德困境的研究,我们讨论了这些价值观在危机期间是如何受到考验的,以及它们对专业人士和用户的脆弱性产生了什么影响。我们还将阐述通过叙事方法记录社会关怀工作的兴趣。

期刊介绍: Ethics and Social Welfare publishes articles of a critical and reflective nature concerned with the ethical issues surrounding social welfare practice and policy. It has a particular focus on social work (including practice with individuals, families and small groups), social care, youth and community work and related professions. The aim of the journal is to encourage dialogue and debate across social, intercultural and international boundaries on the serious ethical issues relating to professional interventions into social life. Through this we hope to contribute towards deepening understandings and further ethical practice in the field of social welfare. The journal welcomes material in a variety of formats, including high quality peer-reviewed academic papers, reflections, debates and commentaries on policy and practice, book reviews and review articles. We actively encourage a diverse range of contributions from academic and field practitioners, voluntary workers, service users, carers and people bringing the perspectives of oppressed groups. Contributions might include reports on research studies on the influence of values and ethics in social welfare practice, education and organisational structures, theoretical papers discussing the evolution of social welfare values and ethics, linked to contemporary philosophical, social and ethical thought, accounts of ethical issues, problems and dilemmas in practice, and reflections on the ethics and values of policy and organisational development. The journal aims for the highest standards in its published material. All material submitted to the journal is subject to a process of assessment and evaluation through the Editors and through peer review.
