    El objetivo de esta investigación consiste en analizar los efectos de la inclusión de las personas con discapacidad intelectual leve (PDIL, de aquí en adelante) en la universidad. Apelando a las teorías sobre el ecosistema familiar de Destanik (2004) y al modelo ecológico de Bronfenbrenner (1987), se parte de la hipótesis de que la inclusión de las PDIL en un entorno universitario producirá una disminución de la sobreprotección familiar no exenta de conflictos. Esto se contrasta utilizando un modelo metodológico mixto que analiza los discursos de las familias y datos recogidos mediante el Parental Bonding Instrument (Parker et al., 1979) aportados por las PDIL. Los resultados obtenidos apoyan la hipótesis de que un entorno universitario disminuye la sobreprotección tanto paterna como materna, si bien parece asociarse a un incremento del factor “cuidado” por parte de las madres. Por otra parte, las PDIL ven reforzada su autodeterminación en un contexto de enseñanzas universitarias. D...

    Análisis del impacto del programa de educación ambiental de Grefa en escolares y su entorno: padres y profesores. RESUMEN El objetivo de este estudio ha sido conocer si el programa de educación ambiental de GREFA impartido a niños y jóvenes tienen impacto en el desarrollo de nuevos valores, actitudes y conductas proambientales en su entorno social inemdiato: los profesores y los familiares de los estudiantes. El desarrollo de valores humanos y de convivencia y la sensibilidad medioambiental constituyen elementos decisivos de crecimiento para la sociedad civil, y consideramos fundamental conocer si la educación ambiental tiene, en este sentido, un alcance comunitario, de tal modo que las actividades desarrolladas con los estudiantes influyen también en su entorno familiar y académico. Se trata de un estudio de carácter pionero puesto que la población objeto de estudio no son los estudiantes sino la población de personas adultas que forman su entorno social más inmediato.

    Recent evidence regarding the relationship between social support and depression in elderly people shows the important role of ethnicity. This research describes the characteristics of social support in a sample of elderly people aged 60 and above living in northern Chile (n = 493), and analyzes the differences in the relationship between social support and depression between an indigenous group (Aymara population, n = 147) and a nonindigenous group (white, Caucasian, mestizo, n = 346). Various dimensions of social support were considered: structural elements, functional social support according to source, and community participation. The results show the existence of significant differences in the characteristics and dimensions of social support depending on sex, ethnicity, and marital status. Further, the central role of the family group is observed for both Aymara and nonindigenous elderly people. The hierarchical regression models obtained result in notable differences in the ro...

    The social sciences generally, and social work in particular incorporate gender as a category of analysis into their practices and research. They do so to varying degrees and with different results. Men’s Studies analyse masculinities as a set of values and behaviours imposed by society on how a man “should be”. Despite a certain exercise of masculinity being considered as a “risk factor”, the terms women and gender are often used synonymously. A bibliometric and documentary analysis shows that in Spain, the curricular content of the country’s 36 Social Work Bachelor degree programmes does not include the study of masculinities. Also worthy of note, major Social Work scientific journals have not published articles on social intervention with men either. Therefore, it is essential to focus on masculinities to reflect a holistic vision of gender and to orient social work practices.

The hierarchical regression models obtained result in notable differences in the role of the structural, functional, and community elements of support in explaining depression for the ethnic groups considered.

    En los últimos años, diferentes modelos explicativos han mostrado que las actitudes hacia la organización juegan un importante papel en la explicación de la continuidad de los voluntarios en las organizaciones. A pesar de ello, aún no se cuenta con instrumentos de evaluación adecuados que permitan un estudio más exhaustivo de estas actitudes en los voluntarios. En este trabajo se presentan nuevos datos sobre la adaptación al ámbito del voluntariado del Organizational Commitment Questionarie (OCQ) de Mowday, Steers y Porter (1979), a través del estudio de una muestra de 377 voluntarios. En general, los resultados obtenidos pueden considerarse favorables y refuerzan la idea de que algunos instrumentos procedentes del estudio del personal remunerado pueden ser de utilidad no sólo para el estudio del voluntariado, sino también para mejorar su gestión en las organizaciones.

    Participation is a key community work method and this text, written by an international selection of authors, covers innovative approaches in community based education and practice. Including real-life case studies of participatory practice, it offers new definitions of community work, organization and development and will challenge and inspire all those involved in community work practice and research. Divided into four parts, Participation in Community Work begins by exploring theoretical aspects of participation and the co-construction of knowledge, including the ethics of participation. The second part focuses on the potential of participatory learning and action research, with chapters presenting key techniques followed by case studies. The third part looks at power and participation, addressing issues of inclusivity, capacity and democracy building and giving examples from a range of research and field projects. Finally, the fourth part begins the discussion of new and emergin...

    This work explores the significance of different types and sources of social support in the short- and middle-term prediction of volunteer permanence. Volunteers ( N = 1362) belonging to 109 different Spanish organizations were surveyed to gather social support data and other information related to factors traditionally associated with sustained volunteerism prediction. In spite of the fact that a relationship between social support and permanence was found, logistic regression analysis showed that social support variables did not appear to be relevant to make this kind of prediction at short term, because the only factors associated with volunteers' permanence in the multivariate model obtained were the volunteers' previous time in the organization, their intention of remaining in service, and their sex and religious attitudes. In contrast, at middle term, social support and, in particular, informational social support from other volunteers was significant, integrating the ...
