Exploring the Landscape of Research on Client Documentation in Social Work
Client documentation fulfills a variety of purposes in social work. As research on this topic has steadily increased, so has the need to take stock of what characterizes the literature in this area. This paper presents the results of a scoping review of 490 peer-reviewed articles published in English in this field, with a specific analysis of a subsample ( n = 95) that explicitly focuses on documentation as a research theme and relies on client d…
Doing “ethics work” in practice
Few studies have explored the moral and ethical dimensions of how, in practice, social workers talk about and handle cases as part of their daily work. At the same time, identifying and examining the ethical dimensions of actual social work practice can be challenging because ethics is often hidden within the complex particularities of daily work. This article applies and develops Sarah Banks’ conceptualisation of “ethics work” to examine how car…
Dementism
The progression of dementia often leads to significant life changes, with particular emphasis placed on memory decline and increased forgetfulness. People living with dementia (PlwD) are frequently subjected to stereotyping as profound forgetful individuals, a phenomenon termed dementism. This paper develops a comprehensive conceptual framework of dementism grounded in the social psychological theory of ageing. The proposed framework identifies f…
‘Control or support?’ Professional roles and judgements in problem solving in adult social work team conferences
The purpose of this paper is to explore how care managers in team conferences jointly solve problems related to difficult cases involving clients with cognitive decline, focusing specifically on their professional roles and judgements. Team conferences in a Swedish social work setting mean that social workers assess and interpret previously collected information and discuss how to proceed with cases. We use conversation analysis to study two case…
The quest for standardisation in adult social work
Little is known about how the tools and guidelines, which are central to current social work practice, are designed. The purpose of this article is to improve understanding of the conditions for social workers' discretion by analysing how the municipal responsibility to meet individual needs is circumscribed in local guidelines for needs assessment in Swedish elder care. The paper applies framing theory to the analysis of guidelines in 51 municip…
Age-appropriate elder care recipients? Care manager's categorisation practices in intraprofessional case conferences
Age categories are related to perceptions and norms concerning appropriate behaviour, appearances, expectations, and so forth. In Sweden, municipal home care and residential care are commonly referred to as "elder care", primarily catering to individuals in their 80s or 90s. However, there is no set age limit reserving these services for an older age group. In intra-professional case conferences, care managers convene with colleagues to discuss c…
Looking into backstage discussions in social work
Social work practice has a history of collegial, intra-, and interprofessional discussions that take place backstage, that is, without the presence of clients. Because of their backstage character, these discussions may be considered even more important to examine than meetings at which clients are present and that are in a way already open to the public. The purpose of the present review was to provide insight into this practice by identifying a…
‘How shall we handle this situation?’ Social workers’ discussions about risks during the Covid-19 pandemic in Swedish elder care
Within a context where New Public Management [NPM] has become increasingly influential in shaping everyday working practices, social workers often handle risks in their everyday work using formalised bureaucratic procedures, among other strategies. As the COVID-19 pandemic progressed, rapid changes occurred in Swedish elder care that social workers were required to address in their everyday work. Intra-professional case conferences amongst social…
Persuasion in practice
The Swedish Social Services Act stipulates an individual perspective that promotes self-determination. In practice, this means that relatives lack formal rights to intrude on a person with dementia’s right to self-determination in decisions about elder care services. However, the Social Services Act also states that family members who are caring for a close relative should be offered support. This legislation may lead to contradictions within soc…
Dokumentationens roll för klientskapande processer i äldreinriktat socialt arbete
Baserat på en explorativ studie behandlar denna artikel frågan om utrikesfödd bakgrund, kön och ålder har någon betydelse för behovsbedömningsdokumentation inom svensk äldreomsorg. Med hjälp av kvantitativ innehållsanalys och multipel logistisk regressionsanalys av akter (n=202) innehållande utredningar (n=489) av ansökningar om välfärdstjänster, undersöker denna studie om identifikationsgrunder för äldre har någon betydelse för dokumentationspra…
I don’t want to go back into the closet just because I need care’
There is increasing awareness in research about the social service needs of older LGBTQ adults. However, there are few studies that deal with differences in this community regarding elder care services. As a rule, transgender individuals are not included in these studies. This study focuses on how older Swedish LGBTQ adults reason about openness in an elder care context concerning their future needs for services and adopts Nancy Fraser’s theoreti…
Care managers' experiences of cross-cultural needs assessment meetings
Research on care managers' experiences of the needs assessment process is scarce even though the literature on needs assessment practice is relatively extensive. One of the research areas that has not received attention yet is the way in which care managers experience the challenges that are presumably posed by increased ethnic, cultural, linguistic and religious diversity among prospective elder care recipients. This article addresses this resea…
