Validating justice climate and peer justice in a real work setting
2016
In this study we tested the validity of justice climate and peer justice, measured as second-order constructs, in a real work setting. First, we investigated the appropriateness of aggregating first-order facets of justice climate and peer justice to work-unit level of analysis. Second, we examined the construct validity of justice climate and peer justice as two different factor structures. Third, we tested the hierarchical structure of justice climate and peer justice as second-order factors. Finally, we examined the predictive validity of second-order factors justice climate and peer justice within a nomological network composed of reciprocity with the supervisor and reciprocity with cow…
The Integrated Migrant worker Safety Training Evaluation Model: IMSTEM
2021
Abstract This paper presents the development of the IMSTEM (Integrated Migrant worker Safety Training Evaluation Model), which aims to provide guidance on how to evaluate the transfer of safety training of migrant workers. Addressing the lack of rigorous safety training evaluation frameworks, the IMSTEM, using a mixed methods, multi-source approach, covers the deficiencies of previous models. The IMSTEM has its foundations in three main sources: a) the integration of safety training literature in relation to migrant workers; b) the theoretical framework of realist evaluation, which enables evaluators to understand what works for whom in which circumstances; and c) the integration of the tra…
Riflessioni sul ruolo dell'assistente sociale nella presa in carico di migranti vittime di violenza di prossimità
2018
Le autrici affrontano il problema della violenza di prossimità subita dai rifugiati / richiedenti asilo durante il loro percorso migratorio. Inoltre, riflettono sul ruolo assunto dall'assistente sociale nel cosiddetto "processo di accompagnamento" verso un percorso di sensibilizzazione, emancipazione e responsabilizzazione personale delle vittime. The authors addresses the issue of proximity violence suffered by refugees/asylum seekers during their migration path. Furthermore, they reflects on the role assumed by the social worker on the so-called “accompaniment process” towards an awareness path, emancipation and personal empowerment of the victims.
Psychological Impact in Healthcare Workers During Emergencies: The Italian Experience With COVID-19 First Wave
2022
BackgroundThe COVID-19 outbreak imposed an overwhelming workload as well as emotional burdens on Healthcare workers (HCWs). In May 2020, an online survey was administered to HCWs in Italy to assess the pandemic's psychological impact and to investigate possible predictive factors that led to individual differences.MethodsThe psychological experience was measured based on the prevalence of self-reported feelings during the pandemic, including negative and positive emotional states. We analyzed the relationship between factors of gender, age, geographic region, professional role, and operational unit, and the four-point scale used to rate the frequency of each emotional state experienced by p…

Identidades y representaciones del Trabajo Social.
2005
En nuestro trabajo, presentamos el conocimiento de la realidad social desde las dimensiones constructivista e interaccionista, teniendo en cuenta el punto de vista del "público", desde la posición de reconocer una mayor riqueza en el conocimiento que se obtiene desde la "intersubjetividad". En el proceso de investigación, llegamos a la complementariedad metodológica, valiéndonos del enfoque cuantitativo para construir las "imágenes", objetivas y mediante el enfoque cualitativo, contando con la perspectiva del estudio de un caso, las audiencias de una serie "Raquel busca su sitio" obtenemos las imágenes del público o intersubjetivas. Ambos componentes, las imágenes y el público del Trabajo S…
La representación sindical en España: cobertura y límites
2018
El objetivo de este artículo es realizar una aproximación al sistema de representación unitaria en la empresa en España a partir de una explotación estadística de los datos de las elecciones sindicales. Se trata de conocer aspectos como el alcance de la representación unitaria, la participación de los asalariados y la audiencia electoral de los sindicatos, con el objetivo de delimitar su representatividad y legitimidad. Nuestro trabajo se centra en el análisis de los tres últimos períodos electorales (2003-2007, 2007-2012 y 2012-2015), con objeto de evaluar el impacto del ciclo económico sobre la representación de los asalariados. The objective of this article is to make an approach to the …
Influenza vaccination in high-risk groups: a revision of existing guidelines and rationale for an evidence-based preventive strategy.
2016
Summary Influenza, an infectious respiratory disease, is one of the main causes of excess winter deaths (EWDs) in Europe. Annual flu epidemics are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, especially among the elderly, those with underlying health conditions and pregnant women. Health Care Workers (HCWs) are also considered at high risk of both contracting influenza and spreading the virus to vulnerable patients. During the 2014/2015 season, the excess winter mortality rates observed in countries of the northern hemisphere (EuroMOMO network) and in Italy (+13%) were strongly related to the intensity of influenza circulation. Influenza vaccination is the most important public healt…
Migranti e pastoralismo. Il caso dei servi pastori romeni nelle campagne sarde
2017
Over the past decade, research into the role of migrants in agriculture within global capitalism increased. Several studies analyze the exploitation of migrants in the intensive agricultural system as a negative effect of market price competition. Within the context, this article focuses on a case-study which so far has received little scholarly attention, that of Romanian salaried shepherds in Sardinia (Italy). Historically, being a salaried shepherd represented a common step in the moral career of the local shepherds: the young people started as “salaried”; during the years of training they became experts and earned enough money to become autonomous. At the beginning of the nineties, the …
Design of a safety training package for migrant workers in the construction industry
2021
Abstract The construction sector is known as a high-risk sector with many safety challenges. It is also characterised by a large number of migrant workers and these workers report higher accident rates than native workers. This paper presents the design of the CSTP (Construction Safety Training Programme). The CSTP is a theory-based training program aimed at improving safety behaviours in construction sites acknowledging the particular challenges migrant workers face. Based on second and third generational models of training, we developed a training program that addresses the challenges faced by migrant workers in the construction industry, namely language and cultural barriers, times press…
