Ethical decision-making in community social work: a bioethical approach

Abstract

We will take the sixth meaning of the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language when it defines Principle as “Standard or fundamental idea that governs thought or behavior”.
The social work in general, and the community in particular, are books of principles and ideas about what is fair and worthy, however, often do not respond to the reality on which it is intended to intervene or are not explicit. Another problem is that it is applied bureaucratically, methods and methods of evaluation to choose the diversity, dynamism and complexity of the community reality, but only the quantitative data.
In the absence of an objective method with which to base our task, the social workers of the community see ourselves called to an argument. Recover the concepts of the discipline, but also of the Bioethics that makes us reflect and force to revise the date of the proposal of this article, to improve the quality of the social intervention developed at the community level from an ethical perspective.
