Which Factors in a Child Welfare Worker’s Environment Influence Their Decision-Making About Neglect? A Systematic Narrative Literature Review
This paper systematically reviews literature to date about how child welfare workers’ decisions about neglect are influenced by their environments. We conducted a systematic search of Web of Science, Embase, PsycInfo, Scopus, and Applied Social Sciences Index & Abstracts, looking for studies in English of any methodology, published since the 1989 Children Act, in which statutory thresholds in England are defined. We used child welfare workers’ de…
Intersex medical guidelines in the UK and Germany
The medical care of infants born with atypical sex characteristics sits at a peculiar ideological intersection. While many healthcare practitioners hold biologically essentialist views on sex development, the history of intersex medical management also illustrates the ways in which the sexed body is socially constructed. In practice, this meant that children born with an intersex trait or difference in sex development (DSD) were often subjected t…
Affects and strategies of maternal optimism
This article draws on the critical feminist argument that women are encouraged to desire forms of life that are limiting and sometimes cruel. It asks: what can we learn about motherhood if we view it not simply as a set of normative practices, but as an assemblage of projections and negotiations about what life could and ought to be? To address this question, we analyse the accounts of 15 mothers with experiences of anxiety and/or depression. We …
The social must be stabilised
In Donzelot's landmark The Policing of Families, he traced the rise of the "social" sector in the 18th century, where institutions like social work, education, and healthcare regulated families, shaping norms of deviance to justify intervention. Social scientists continue to debate the impact of post-2008 austerity measures on the relationship between the social sector and family life in contemporary society. This study aims to contribute to thes…
‘Assessing my risk and that of my whānau is my right’
Risk identification has been at the heart of media coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic.Less consideration has been paid to the way that the media itself has (re)produced these risk categories, and how this has changed over the course of the pandemic. The aim of this article is to understand how risk has been constructed in the Aotearoa, New Zealand news media over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper reports findings from a longitudinal …
Social Workers’ Perceptions of the Nature of Child Neglect
Neglect is the most common form of child maltreatment in the UK and the USA. This article reviews research about how child neglect is perceived by social workers. We conducted a systematic review and identified fifty relevant studies, using a range of methodologies, published since the 1989 Children Act. The themes were identified iteratively and synthesised using a narrative method. The review found that despite evidence that neglect is associat…
Older People’s Understandings and Experiences of Using Health and Social Care Services under Covid‐19 Lockdown Restrictions in Aotearoa, New Zealand
Internationally, the COVID‐19 pandemic resulted in changes to services as governments funneled health‐related funding and resources into stopping the spread of COVID‐19. At the same time, older people were singled out as an “at‐risk” group, which prompted caution from both older people and governments to limit their exposure to COVID‐19. It remains unclear what the impact this has had on older people’s routine health and social care access, and h…
Older Chinese and Korean migrants' experiences of the first Covid ‐19 lockdown in Aotearoa New Zealand
Later‐life migrants, as older people living away from their home nations, occupy multiply‐precarious positions in relation to national COVID‐19 pandemic responses. Concern has particularly centred on this group's increased risk of social and linguistic exclusion. We explore the perspectives of later‐life older Chinese and Koreans living in New Zealand during the nation's COVID‐19 lockdown of 2020. This paper presents a sub‐analysis of culturally‐…
How socially cohesive was New Zealand’s first lockdown period from the perspective of culturally diverse older New Zealanders
Aotearoa, New Zealand’s (NZ) initial pandemic response has been held up internationally as a model of social cohesion and compassion, made salient by the ‘team of five million’ messaging promoted by the New Zealand government. This paper considers whether the first New Zealand COVID‐19 lockdown was viewed and experienced as socially cohesive from the perspective of diverse older New Zealanders. This study presents a deductive analysis based on 44…
Intergenerational Tension or Cohesion during the Covid-19 Pandemic
This paper examines older people’s experiences of intergenerational interaction during the first COVID-19 lockdown in Aotearoa, New Zealand (NZ). This paper presents an analysis of a letter-writing study with older people (mean = 77 years) living in NZ. A total of 760 letters were received from 870 participants. A sub-sample of 412 letters focused on intergenerational interaction were analyzed thematically. This analysis presents a mostly positiv…
Dispensing care
Technology has been lauded as a solution to range of challenges presented by ageing population internationally. While the lion-share of scholarship has focussed on high-fi, digital technologies, there has been a recent shift to exploring the contributions mundane, low-fi technologies make to older people's daily lives and our understandings of health, illness and care more broadly. Drawing from serial narrative interview data collected with 19 ma…
Problematising carer identification
Internationally health and social care policies have increasingly promoted carer selfidentification as the best way to target and support people in caring roles.There has been remarkably little research concerning how people adopt the identity. This paper explores the carer identification practices of older partners providing end-of-life care.A narrative interview study comprising 41 interviews with 20 participants from 17 couples were conducted …
More than mortality data
News media have an important social role during times of disruption including national emergencies. This paper bears witness to the 21 New Zealanders who died during the first lockdown due to COVID‐19 by critically examining the nature of their portrayal in mainstream newspapers. We searched Knowledgebasket for newspapers published between 28 February 2020 and 13 May 2020 relating to COVID‐19 deaths. Of the 147 included articles, 50 were selected…
Social connectedness
While social connectedness is heralded as a key enabler of positive health and social outcomes for older people, rarely have they themselves had the opportunity to express their views about the concept. Working with a diverse group of Pacific, Māori, Asian and New Zealand European older adults, this paper explores what matters to older people when discussing social connectedness? We draw from individual, in-depth interviews with 44 older adults, …
Lonely ageing in a foreign land
Ageing does not reduce people's need to connect with family members, friends, and acquaintances, and neither does migration. For those older migrants living in a foreign land, connectedness with others plays a particularly important role in achieving a sense of belonging and sustaining their health and well-being. This paper explores the issues of social isolation and loneliness among older Asian migrants in New Zealand. Data were collected from …
Working bi-culturally within a palliative care research context
It is increasingly recognised that palliative care research needs to pay more attention to culture if the diverse needs of service users are to be appropriately met. However, in most countries research, practice and policy in palliative care remains predicated upon a specific cultural understanding of the ‘good death’, firmly rooted in a Western world view. In this paper we present the formation of a new multi-disciplinary palliative care researc…
A Feminist Quality Appraisal Tool
Quality appraisal tools used in systematic reviews to evaluate health literature do not adequately address issues related to gender. This oversight is significant because disparities between genders have been identified as a major health equity concern, and systematic reviews are regarded as a powerful means for informing policy that could redress gender inequities. In this paper, we present our Feminist Quality Appraisal Tool that offers researc…
