Hamilelik doneminde kadinlarin calisma yasaminda maruz kaldiklari ergonomik risk faktorlerinin goz ardi edilmesi, cogu zaman kadina karsi gizli ve gorunur ayrimciligin nedeni olmaktadir. Bu nedenle kadinlarin calisma yasamindaki ergonomik riskleri azaltmak icin gereken makro ve mikro duzenlemeler; hem hamilelik doneminde kadinlarin insan kapitallerinin surdurulebilirligini saglayacak, hem de calisma yasaminda sosyal adalet ve insan haklarinin yerine getirilmesine katkida bulunacaktir.

Sosyal hizmet mesleginin en onemli uygulama alanlarindan biri klinik sosyal hizmettir. Klinik sosyal hizmet, ilk olarak Amerika Birlesik Devletleri’nde (ABD’de) tanimlanmis ve gelismistir. ABD’de, klinik sosyal hizmet uzmanlarinin kaydi 1976 yilindan beri Ulusal Sosyal Hizmet Uzmanlari Birligi (NASW) tarafindan alinmakta ve bu uzmanlarin bagimsiz ozel uygulama yapmalarina izin verilmektedir. Ulkemizde ise, klinik sosyal hizmet alaninda calisan sosyal hizmet uzmanlari bulunmasina karsin, ulke genelindeki tanimlamalara ve uygulama izinlerini iceren yasa/ mevzuat alt yapisina ihtiyac duyulmaktadir. Bu makalede klinik sosyal hizmet alani; gelisimi, tanimlanmasi, ozgunlugu ve uygulama paradigmalari kapsaminda incelenecek; gelecek perspektifi ile ulkemizde klinik sosyal hizmet alaninin gelisimi icin gerekli surecl...

Methods: The sample of the study was composed of 465 volunteered women and men (18+ years) who had an active working life. Corrected item total correlation and Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficient were calculated for reliability of WADS. High order confirmatory factor analysis was performed to test the theoretical suitability and construct validity for Turkish context. Results: In this study, WADS has one factor construction. Cronbach’s Alpha Reliability Coefficient was found as 0.904 for WADS. Predictors of workplace age discrimination in Turkish population were determined as age, hierarchical structure, job satisfaction, and income satisfaction Conclusion: These results showed that the Turkish version of WADS may be used as a valid and reliable tool in determining workplace age discrimination and in other relevant research. Exploring the validity and reliability of the scale should be repeated in groups who have different socio-demographics and health situations.

Methods: The sample of the study is composed of 465 volunteered women and men (60+) (mean age: 71.47±7.4) who live alone in their home or with their children across Turkey. HS-EAST has 15 items. Total point correlation and inner consistency coefficient (KR 20) are calculated for reliability of the scale. Confirmatory factor analysis is performed to test the theoretical suitability and validity for Turkish context. Results: In this study, HS-EAST has three factors construction as original scale. Inner consistency coefficient was found as 0.814. The highness of the score points indicates a potential increase in the risk of elder abuse. Conclusion: These results show that the Turkish version of HS-EAST may be used as a valid and reliable tool in determining elderly abuse and also for purposes of early diagnosis and in other relevant research. It might be recommended that exploring the validity and reliability of the scale is repeated in different groups of subjects of similar ages and that the scale is used in prevalence studies

When the difficulties of the old age and the migration process come together, difficulties and problems tend to increase. Considering the rise in the elderly and refugee population, the social integration of elderly refugees were discussed in this study. Elderly refugees had health problems, language problems, isolation and formal problems mostly. Women refugees seemed to be more disadvantaged in terms of education, language, income and employment. Language, poverty and being in a different country were the factors that made the social integration of elderly refugees difficult, while facilitating factors were evaluated as common religion, host country characteristics and social networks. Specific services and gerontological social work practices should be created that eliminate the challenging factors and emphasize the facilitating factors of the social integration for elderly refugees.

The effect size of intervention for Future-Related Emotions and Expectations Factor, Hope Factor and Perceived Stress Scale scores of Hopelessness Scale, has been found to be at higher level (effect sizes for each one: 0.77-0.78-0.79-0.82) and the Hopelessness Scale-Motivational Loss Factor was moderate (effect size = 0.50). Conclusion: Results indicate that the social work intervention based on SFBT was statistically significant and effective on the college students.
