Competencias éticas en la práctica profesional de las/los trabajadoras/es sociales con personas mayores

Autores/as

Resumen

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo presentar los resultados sobre una subescala suministrada a trabajadores sociales, en Portugal, que intervienen con personas mayores y que evalúa las competencias de estos acerca de los «Valores, éticas y perspectivas teóricas». El estudio, además de analizar la estructura factorial y las propiedades psicométricas de la subescala, compara las puntuaciones medias con las de otros países. La investigación se hizo con las/los trabajadoras/es sociales que asumen funciones de liderazgo en las respuestas sociales dirigidas a personas mayores (n = 387). Los resultados indican una estructura bifactorial (competencias transversales versus competencias especializadas sobre la práctica profesional), y que explica aproximadamente el 64,72% de la varianza. La consistencia interna fue de 0,90 (α de Cronbach). Las diferencias de las medias encontradas, que son superiores en Portugal, especialmente en las competencias transversales que conducen a la integración de los valores y las éticas en la práctica profesional, nos llevan a considerar que, a pesar de la ausencia de un código de ética portugués, el proyecto educativo y profesional está basado en la centralidad de los valores y de la ética.
