Abstract(s)
O objetivo central deste estudo é a análise da perspetiva dos Assistentes Sociais sobre a necessidade/ importância da criação de uma Ordem Profissional e, consequentemente de um Código Deontológico (português) para a profissão. Privilegiou-se a investigação qualitativa, construída a partir da interpretação das narrativas das entrevistas, da pesquisa bibliografia e documental. O carácter qualitativo do trabalho concretiza-se por meio de uma lógica abdutiva, que pretende compreender a realidade através da construção dos seus atores (Blaikie, 2000). Para o efeito construímos duas dimensões de análise: a primeira refere-se à análise e compreensão da necessidade de criação de uma Ordem Profissional e a segunda dimensão integra a análise da opinião dos informantes sobre a necessidade de criação de um código deontológico português.
Os resultados obtidos nesta investigação demonstram de forma unânime, a importância da criação de uma Ordem Profissional para a legitimação, representatividade e autorregulação da categoria profissional. Nas razões apontadas para a importância da Ordem surgem, quer justificações que se centram na necessidade de uniformização da prática, demonstrando uma visão mais burocrática e tecnicista da profissão, no qual os métodos se sobrepõem à relação, quer razões de legitimação e de necessidade de representação coletiva junto à classe política, relacionada com uma vertente humanista, no qual os aspetos relacionais e comportamentais devem fazer parte da prática profissional de forma a uma maior adequação dos mecanismos de intervenção no indivíduo. Nas razões apontadas para o insucesso da não criação de uma Ordem Profissional, a maioria realçou motivos internos e externos inerentes à profissão. A questão interna tem a ver com a falta de associativismo e união dos Assistentes Sociais em se mobilizarem por uma causa comum. A questão externa relaciona-se com interesses políticos, bem como a questão coletiva dos profissionais.
Os princípios subjacentes a um código deontológico são os inerentes aos direitos humanos e justiça social e de atitudes associadas à profissão.
The main objective of this study is to analyze the perspective of social workers about the need / importance of creation of a Professional Body and consequently a Portuguese Code of Ethics for the profession. The Qualitative research is privileged, built from the interpretation of narrative interviews, literature and documental research. The qualitative character of this work is made through an abductive logic, to understand the reality through the construction of its actors (Blaikie, 2000). For that reason we built this analisys in two dimentions: the first one is to analise and understand the need of creation of a Professional Body, and the second one refers to the analisys of the opinion expressed by the interviewers about the creation of a Code of Ethics. The results of this research demonstrate unanimously, the importance of establishing a Professional Body to legitimate, representativeness and self-regulation of the profession. The reasons for the importance of the Professional Body emerge by either justifications that focus on the need to uniform practice, showing a more bureaucratic and technical vision of the profession, in which the methods overlap with relationship or reasons of legitimacy and need for collective representation by the political class in connection with a humanistic aspect, in which the relational and behavioral aspects should be part of professional practice in order to better adaptation of the intervention mechanisms in the individual. The reasons stated for the failure of non creation of a Professional Body, the majority highlighted internal and external reasons inherent to the profession. The internal issue has to do with the lack of association and union of the Social Workers to mobilize themselves for a common cause. The external question is related to political interests as well as the collective issue of professionals. The principles behind a code of ethics are inherent to human rights and social justice and attitudes associated with the profession.
