    Content validity analysis of ISD-1: an instrument for social diagnosis in care homes for older persons
    (European Journal of Social Work, 2017) Cury, Silvia Patricia; Arias Astray, Andrés; Palacios Gómez, José Luis
    This article presents the validity study for ISD-1 (Instrument for Social Diagnosis), designed to be used in the specialist field of intervention in care homes for older persons. The study has focused on the evidence regarding the validity of its content. The definition of the operative area of ISD-1 (social diagnosis in care homes), and its representativeness and relevance, are decisive aspects for its validity. Two validation procedures were used, with the participation of two independent groups of experts. Both procedures had the objective of obtaining a quantitative measure assessing the representation of the area and of the degree of association between the dimensions and the items of the instrument. We may conclude that there is a sufficient degree of evidence for the representativeness, relevance and usefulness of the content of ISD-1, meaning it may be considered a suitable instrument for the formulation of social diagnoses in care homes for older persons.

    Las necesidades sociales de las personas mayores en entornos residenciales en la actualidad
    (Trabajo Social Hoy, 2018) Cury, Silvia Patricia; Arias Astray, Andrés
    El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las necesidades sociales específicas de las personas mayores en entornos residenciales institucionales. Para ello se describe, en primer lugar, el actual proceso demográfico y su influencia en el aumento de la población de edades muy avanzadas, que pueden sufrir situaciones de dependencia y discapacidad, y que requieren, por tanto, atención sociosanitaria de carácter institucional. Se analiza, a continuación, la definición del concepto de residencia, y las principales características de estos centros en España. Por último, presentamos algunos de los principales hallazgos de la investigación realizada en las 25 residencias públicas de la Agencia Madrileña de Atención Social, que muestran las características de estos centros, y permiten identificar las principales necesidades sociales de las personas mayores en este entorno especializado de intervención social.

    Design of ISD-1: an instrument for social diagnosis in care homes for older persons
    (European Journal of Social Work, 2019) Cury, Silvia Patricia; Arias Astray, Andrés; Palacios Gómez, José Luis
    This article describes the design process and main features of an instrument developed for use in the specialist area of intervention in care homes for older persons. The essential aim of ISD-1 (instrument for social diagnosis) is to permit the correct formulation of social diagnoses and to standardise and define the professional language used by social workers. Its content has been organised into 4 dimensions of social diagnosis, divided into 15 sub-dimensions containing 83 diagnostic categories. This work was performed in Spain, in the 24 care homes of the Madrid Social Care Agency of the Community of Madrid, involving the participation of the 40 social workers practising in these centres. ISD-1 is an easily understood and used tool, of potential use for social workers practising in care homes for older persons and capable of being adapted for use in other institutional environments, as well as being capable of adaptation and translation for its application in other countries.

    Social Work: Diversity and Inclusion in Higher Education Policies Review and Reflection
    (Qualitative and Quantitative Models in Socio-Economic Systems and Social Work, 2020) Miguel Vicente, Carmen; Cury, Silvia Patricia; Arias Astray, Andrés; Fernández Fernández, José Manuel; Saralosa Sánchez-Serrano, José Luis; Maturo, Fabrizio; Hošková-Mayerová, Šárka
    Since the 1990s, universities have faced new challenges relating to equal opportunities. In this context of it being essential to foster inclusivity for members of the university community, we present a proposal on the role of social work in universities. We describe how it can contribute to promoting acceptance of differences and the implementation of inclusive measures. In order to do so, we conduct a review of how the profession has evolved in universities and analyse the main services in which social work plays a part and its interventions in favour of inclusive policies. With regard to studies of social work intervention in higher education, the main conclusion to highlight is their great scarcity.
