The relationship between burnout and telework was analysed to find out how COVID-19 affected the emotional state of social workers who teleworked during the pandemic, and to analyse the risk of burnout in the field of social services. The fieldwork was conducted on a self-selected sample of 395 social workers in Spain in 2021. The results show a lower risk related to negligent treatment and a high resilience of professionals. The findings highlight the role of social work and the need to organise social services to guarantee the quality of this service without overburdening its professionals.

Indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples in Latin America face a bleak social and economic outlook that is exacerbated in rural old age. This research aimed to identify and describe latent profiles of quality of life of these people in a multiethnic Chilean sample of 1692 older people in rural areas, and to characterise these profiles according to sociodemographic variables, territorial identity, depressive symptoms, loneliness and self-rated health. The results provide evidence on the level of perception of quality of life of the sample, resulting in a discussion on the specificity of the design of social policies for these groups.

The immense influx of refugees after the Syrian conflict started in 2011 has rendered Kilis among the provinces hosting the highest number of Syrian asylum seekers in Türkiye. This study examines the effect of the service quality at Kilis’ Elbeyli Temporary Accommodation Center on asylum seekers’ satisfaction. We conducted 320 surveys with Syrian asylum seekers from among the 8008 residents in the Center. After the analysis, it was found that the perceived service quality positively impacted asylum seekers’ satisfaction. The results can contribute to the performance of the social work public officials employed in refugee camps.

Social workers often deal with stressful and emotionally demanding working conditions. Self-care is key to preventing the negative consequences of these difficulties. This study used thematic analysis to explore the meaning of self-care among 18 professionals, who identified different self-care strategies and barriers, some of which lie within the organizations. Although self-care is primarily considered an individual responsibility, participants propose ways for organizations to promote a change in perspective on self-care. Participants indicated barriers, such as misconceptions about self-care, and lack of training and involvement of organizations. They suggest designing comprehensive plans involving organizations in promoting self-care and preventing barriers.

This article investigates the contemporary transnational and neocolonial characteristics of children’s welfare in the Philippines, drawing on the perspectives of young people in residential care settings (RCSs) (aka orphanages) as well as the views of programme and policy actors embedded across child protection systems. Its findings highlight the funding and governance roles of transnational actors in child and family welfare programmes, the commodification of children that these transnational dynamics engender and the Philippines’ dependence on international actors to support children’s welfare. Recommendations include the enhanced regulation of RCSs, expanded social protection measures and greater use of family-based care models.

In this article, I draw on my intersectional identities as a caregiver of a child with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, as a registered social worker with extensive experience in the justice sector, and as an employed educator and researcher at a tertiary institute, to explore how I have used these multiple identities to create new initiatives that support families where Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is an issue, and introduce critical disability training for professionals working in the field.
