State-Level Indicators of Structural Racism and Severe Adverse Maternal Outcomes During Childbirth
Pulmonary Hypertension During Pregnancy in New York State, 2003–2014
Patient-, Hospital-, and Neighborhood-Level Factors Associated with Severe Maternal Morbidity During Childbirth
Are two a family? Older single mothers assisted by sperm donation and their children revisited
This study follows 40 older single-mother families created with the aid of sperm donation using either insemination or in vitro fertilization. The study is based on qualitative data obtained from the mothers 3 years after a previous study with these families. The mean age of the mothers at this time was about 47 years and of the children 7 years. The findings provide insights into the mothers' and children's current sociodemographic characteristi…
Use of the global positioning system to measure the out-of-home mobility of older adults with differing cognitive functioning
Cognitive impairment manifests in changed out-of-home mobility. Until recently, the assessment of outdoor mobility relied on the reports of family care-givers and institutional staff and used observational approaches, activity monitoring or behavioural checklists. This article presents data for 41 mildly demented, mildly cognitively impaired and healthy men and women aged 64–90 years in Tel-Aviv (Israel) who took part in an interdisciplinary proj…
What can we learn about the mobility of the elderly in the GPS era
Families' and Professional Caregivers' Views of Using Advanced Technology to Track People With Dementia
in this study we examined the ethical aspects of the use of the Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to track people with dementia. The findings are based on qualitative data gathered from focus groups of family and professional caregivers. The most important theme was the need to balance patients' need for safety with the need to preserve their autonomy and privacy. The main potential benefit of the use of GPS was related to the peace of mind of the…
Professional and personal hierarchies of ethical principles
We explore social workers’ perception of the importance and rank ordering of ethical principles. Do they have a generally agreed upon hierarchy of ethical principles? Do they apply similar hierarchies of ethical principles when facing different cases? Are their professional and personal hierarchies of ethical principles similar? The findings based on a structured questionnaire indicated that while social workers attach high importance to most eth…
Religiosity, nationalism and human reproduction
Israel is 280 miles long and 10 miles wide at its narrowest point; it is comparable in size to the State of New Jersey. The total population of Israel is currently about 6.5 million, of the same order as the populations of Austria, Switzerland or Denmark. Eighty per cent of the population are Jews, 15 per cent Muslim, 3 per cent Christians and 2 per cent Druze (Yaffe, 1999). Israel is a highly urban and industrialized country, with over 95 per ce…
Social integration in the second half of life
Social network type and social support among the old-old
The obligation to report sexual abuse of minors and incompetents
Professional Socialization, Ethical Judgment and Decision Making Orientation in Social Work
This cross-sectional study, which collects data at three points of time in the course of social workers' professional socialization, aims to shed more light on the impact of professional socialization on ethical judgment and decision making orientation. Utilizing both a standard measure of ethical judgment and six vignettes to identify changes in ethical decision making orientation in social work, the findings provide no support for the hypothesi…
Planned orphanhood
Terrorism and the social worker
The volume of natural and man made traumatic events is increasing. So is the provision of counselling and support services following disasters. This means that there is a growing population of social workers at psychological risk. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the impressions and conclusions derived from the author's talks with social workers who worked with the victims of two terrorist acts that occurred within a week of one another,…
The patient-therapist relationship
Assisted Reproduction in Israel and Sweden
The technological innovations in the field of human reproduction which have been advancing at a dizzying pace, especially in Israel, have posed complex ethical dilemmas for social workers and social scientists. Do these developments, particularly in vitro fertilisation, offer a feasible solution for infertile couples or are they at the same time creating difficult, intricate problems whose outcome has yet to be clarified? Is it not paradoxical th…
Preparing for sudden death or organ donation
The Impact of New Medical Technologies in Human Reproduction on Childrens Personal Safety and Well-Being in the Family
By nature and law, parents are expected to be the guardians and protectors of their children. Yet, evidence is available that the majority of children at risk are victimized by those who should protect them: their closest family. Parenthood is a desired and valued task by individuals and soci- ety, and the new medical technologies in human reproduction assist individuals and couples to realize their wish for parenthood. Regret- fully, they also c…
Locus of control and socioeconomic status
Adjustment to Loss of Spouse as a Multivariate Construct
Interview data collected in 1985–86 from a stratified random sample of widows under the age of fifty-four ( n = 150) in Israel were analyzed in an attempt to answer the following question: is adjustment to widowhood a univariate or a multivariate construct? Using four indicators for adjustment to widowhood—functioning in everyday living, depression level, health status, and life satisfaction—factors that may affect adjustment to widowhood are exa…
Probing the Validity of Normative Data
Data validity is as critical an issue for practice as it is for research. This Research Note is a brief account of an effort to subject family functioning data to a validity analysis by using multiple informants. Results indicate that knowledge about variations in degree of validity by subject areas canenhance the quality of data for use in professional practice
