This discussion first examines the clinical and community-based contexts for providing interprofessional practice and person-centred care through the lens of personal, interpersonal, interprofessional and organisational values. Emerging conflicts among values are highlighted using the concept of moral distress, with examples from US and Canadian settings. The comparison then moves to the systems level, examining different US and Canadian contexts for improving the quality and reducing the cost of care. Finally, implications and applications are presented, focusing on interrelationships among the individual, interprofessional team and organisation.","PeriodicalId":43660,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Care and Caring","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140209986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants reveal a lack of autonomy and forms of precarity that were not faced by other care workers, particularly increased risk of exposure to COVID-19 and multiple forms of stigma.","PeriodicalId":43660,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Care and Caring","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140422386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This term has been used in the UK for more than 20 years. While not as widely used in Australia, it is understood in both countries to describe the provision of social work, personal care, protection or social support services for those with needs arising from illness, disability, old age and/or poverty. We conclude that there is space for the ‘social’ in social care if it is framed in relation to the shared human need for care and support. Rather than shifting to the descriptively simple term ‘long-term care’, let us continue to work to make social care more meaningfully social.","PeriodicalId":43660,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Care and Caring","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140486540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
