“Care Work”: Facing New Challenges, Involving Professionals and Non-Professionals ; Lessons from International Comparisons

To cope some of the main consequences of social and economic violence, specific professional’s skills, such as those involved in “Care Work” have to be adapted and improved. On the other hand, in many countries, “lay people” are ask to be more involved in the definition of practical responses to different types of injustices.

Moreover, a move from “Cure” to “Care” in societies where more and more individuals are vulnerable, is emerging. In this context, the new ethics of care leads to take into account not only each patient / family’ needs but also each patient / family capabilities.

But, at the same time, the professionalization of Care Work is increasing in almost every developed countries. It comes with a valuation of activities related to care and, to some extent, with the acknowledgment of technical skills associated to those activities along with relational ones.

Issues of International Comparison
XVIII ISA World Congress Yokohama 13-14 July 2014

Session Organizers
Philippe MOSSE, Aix Marseille Université, France,
Tetsu HARAYAMA, Toyo University, Japan.

Session in English

Health systems and their protagonists are faced with similar challenges (demographic, financial, economic, social) that health professionals are supposed to solve. Faced with these challenges is a great temptation to develop answers "universal" illustrated the deployment of "New Public Management".

The session will aim to confront comparative approaches that allow to highlight the tension between the apparent convergence and persistence of country-specific logic.

A Workshop for the Emerging Convention, Aix, November 5





A workshop was held at the LEST, Aix, November 5 for discussing “Health professions and the emerging convention”,with the Japan Foundation's support. 


Jacques, Anne-Marie and Vaughan

Philippe's research interests involve Franco-Japanese comparisons of nursing profession. Philippe presented with Maryse and Tetsu a hypothesis that the civic and industrial conventions have been dominant in the French health care system,  the civic and domestic conventions in the Japanese system.
Anne-Marie has been studying "the invisible personnel", aides, in hospitals, and Vaughan is interested in executive nurses' coordination in hospitals.
Jacques proposed some methodological points for conducting researches with a small sample.


Philippe

Maryse, Florent and César

                                                                  
Florent has proposed the new theory of professions. The LEST has accumulated comparative studies in France, Germany and Japan. How can we develop the Societal Analysis after Marc Maurice's work?
César's research involves Franco-Japanese comparisons of professional journalists.
The emerging convention focuses on a kind of social network?
