Pediatric nurses in early childhood intervention in Germany - emergence of a new professional role: situational analysis and mapping
In diesem Artikel veranschaulichen wir die Entstehung der Arena \" Frühe Hilfen\" und wie daraus ein neues Arbeitsfeld für die Kinderkrankenpflege hervorging. Die Situation der Kinderkrankenpflege wird unter Berücksichtigung sozialer Welten und Diskurse sowie historischer, sozialer und politischer Prozesse, die dafür eine Rolle spielen, dargestellt. Am Beispiel einer Studie mit Interviewdaten von Kinderkrankenpflegerinnen, Textdokumenten und Feldnotizen wird demonstriert, wie Komponenten des Theorie-Methoden-Pakets der Situationsanalyse angewendet werden können, um die Genese einer spezialisierten Berufsgruppe in ihrer Einbettung in eine Arena zu analysieren. Dabei findet insbesondere eine Auseinandersetzung mit Konzepten sozialer Welten und Arenen sowie des processual ordering statt. Mithilfe von Mapping-Strategien wird Diskursmaterial strukturiert, um die Positionierung verschiedener Elemente in der Arena aufzuzeigen und sie in ihrer Wechselbeziehung und vor dem Hintergrund aktueller Entwicklungen im Pflegeberuf zu diskutieren.
In this essay, we show how an arena is created and how a new field of work for pediatric nursing emerges from it. The situation of pediatric nurses in early childhood intervention in Germany is presented, considering related social worlds and discourses as well as historical, social, and political processes. Based on a study using interview data of pediatric nurses, text documents and field notes, we demonstrate how components of the theory/methods package of situational analysis can be used to analyze the genesis of a specialized professional group in its embeddedness in an arena. In particular, the concepts of social worlds/arenas theory and the concept of processual ordering are applied. Mapping strategies are harnessed to structure discourse material in order to show the positioning of different elements in the arena and to discuss them in their interrelation and against the background of current developments in the nursing profession.

Understanding the Effect of Moral Transgressions in the Helping Professions
There is a vast academic literature on the moral dimensions and ethical dilemmas of what are commonly referred to as the helping professions (e.g., nursing, medicine, social work, counseling, teaching). Over the past several decades, increasing attention has been paid to the issue of moral transgressions perpetrated, witnessed, or experienced by these professionals and their accompanying psychological and social outcomes. Scholars seeking to understand moral transgressions and their effects have proposed and examined a variety of constructs, including moral distress, demoralization, and moral injury. This article examines to what extent constructs related to moral transgressions and their associated psychological, emotional, and social effects overlap and diverge to describe similar or distinct phenomena and proposes a unified conceptual model of moral suffering. Understanding the moral dimensions of the helping professions is critical for effective research and just, ethical practice.

Designing narrative for professional development: A programme for improving international health care practitioners’ cultural competence
To maintain and improve skills for practice, health care professionals across all disciplines need to engage in ongoing professional development. However, helping clinicians learn and apply new knowledge in practice can be challenging. This article reports on a purpose-designed professional development programme targeting experienced practitioners of a particular music therapy, focusing on their cultural competency. The author conceptualised a workshop format with a relevant clinical scenario at its centre. She describes how she developed the programme, which she subsequently delivered to an international community of 57 practitioners attending professional development conferences. To capture participants’ reactions and evidence of their new thinking applied to an everyday clinical practice, she used Brookfield’s Critical Incident Questionnaire (CIQ). Her analysis of the data, which provided feedback on the training scenario and structured group discussion materials, found that this continuing professional development training workshop was effective in challenging clinicians to think differently, and to plan the application of their newly acquired knowledge to their everyday practice. This paradigmatic case study contributes new knowledge towards the current reform of health systems, where achieving person-centred health care depends on the ongoing professional development of established health practitioners. Replacing traditional health care, where the patient receiving treatment is accorded a passive role, person-centred health care engages patients’ active participation in their therapy. Practitioners who have graduated a while ago therefore need to change some of their ingrained practices and approaches in treating their clients and patients, which will then lead to improved health outcomes.

‘We Don’t See Her as a Social Worker’: A Service User Case Study of the Importance of the Social Worker’s Relationship and Humanity
This article draws on a large-scale UK qualitative research study of what service users want from specialist palliative care social work. The study included a diverse range of people with direct experience of such social work as patients with life-limiting illnesses and conditions and people facing bereavement. Service users included in the study generally valued such social work highly. The article focuses on two aspects of practice which were associated with the high value they placed on specialist palliative care social work. These are the relationships they had with the social worker and the qualities and skills that they saw the social worker as having. Service users highlighted the notion of ‘friendship’ as a key positive in their relationship with the social worker and human qualities associated with warmth, empathy, respect and listening. The article explores the tension between the characteristics of practice valued by service users and the direction of travel of social work influenced by policy and professional considerations. It suggests that it may be necessary to review political and policy judgements of what social work is and should do, if it is to be consistent with what service users value—traditional social work values and an increasing international emphasis on user-centred and individualized support in social care.

Die Pflegeberufe stärken über die Transparenz ihrer Wirkung
Die vorhanden Sozialgesetzbücher sehen eine Finanzierung pflegefachlicher Leistungen nicht vor. Es fehlt in Deutschland ein Leistungsrecht oder ein Sozialgesetzbuch, das die Finanzierung der fachpflegerischen Leistungen gesetzlich regelt. Im Beitrag wird eine Idee entwickelt, wie pflegefachliche Leistungen in das Gesundheitssystem integriert werden können.

A Caring Profession? The Ethics of Care and Social Work with Older People
The feminist ethics of care present a challenge to social workers to re-assess not only the place of care within professional social work practice but also the way in which concepts of justice, autonomy and rights are conceptualized and ageing is understood. In this article, the arguments for an ethics of care are considered in relation to social work practice with older people. It is argued that the feminist ethics of care offer useful insights that are relevant to the practice of social work, particularly within contemporary demographic, economic, political and organizational contexts, all of which have made the task more complex and confusing.
