The past few decades of ongoing war in Iraq has had a dramatic impact on the health of Iraq’s population. Wars are known to have negative effects on the social and physical environments of individuals, as well as limit their access to the available health care services. This paper explores the personal experiences of my family members, who were exposed to war, as well as includes information that has been reviewed form many academic sources. The data aided in providing recommendations and developing strategies, on both local and international levels, to improve the health status of the populations exposed to war.

The spread of the Covid-19 brought global institutions, societies, states and economies in a critical position as they encounter a new worldwide multilevel crisis. At the same time, states have had to handle this crisis acquiring an interventionist role, protecting the social and economic cohesion, providing better health care services for their citizens and investing in scientific research, as a means to restrict this new pandemic. In order to handle that situation and its consequences, the use of all the available resources became necessary as well as the improvement of the cooperation between the private and the public sector. In Greece private sector has shown an unprecedented willingness for Greece’s CSR tradition, to contribute government’s efforts.

The Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services (ERDs) exist to guide administrators, providers, and patients regarding the Church’s principles for maintaining human dignity while providing ethical patient care. A brief history of the document itself is presented followed by a discussion of selected portions of Part One of the ERDs, which relate directly to the mission of Catholic healthcare and why this is important as the secular culture becomes increasingly hostile to religious beliefs.

Recovery Approach

Sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon suunniteltujen uudistusten myötä asiakkaiden ja palveluiden ohjaus on noussut esiin yhtenä keskeisenä kehittämisen kohteena. Ohjauksen käsitteitä on useita, ja niiden käyttö vaihtelee kontekstin mukaan. Tässä tutkimuksessa mielenkiinnon kohteena oli erityisesti osallisuuden näkyminen ohjauksen eri käsitteissä ja niiden sisällöllisissä kuvauksissa. Osallisuus liittyy keskeisesti sosiaali- ja terveysalalla sekä asiakaslähtöisyyteen että mielenterveys- ja päihdetyössä yhtenä lähtökohtana olevaan toipumisorientaatioon. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, mitä ohjauskäsitteitä suomalaisissa mielenterveys- ja päihdetyötä koskevissa raporteissa on käytetty, mitkä ovat näitä käsitteitä kuvaavat tekstisisällöt ja mitkä näkökulmat näissä sisällöissä kuvastuvat. Tutkimus toteutettiin dokumenttianalyysina, ja aineisto analysoitiin sekä määrällisesti että laadullisesti. Analyysin tuloksena tunnistettiin kolme käytettyä ohjauksen käsitettä sekä kolme näkökulmaa, joista työntekijän näkökulma painottui eniten ja asiakkaan näkökulma vähiten. Tulosten perusteella voidaan todeta, että mielenterveys- ja päihdetyön alueella ohjauksen käsitteitä tulisi sekä sisällöllisesti kuvata tarkemmin että edelleen kehittää, jotta ne mahdollistavat asiakkaan osallisuuden. Tätä kehittämistyötä tulisi toipumisorientaation lähestymistavan mukaisesti tehdä yhdessä mielenterveys- ja päihdepalvelujen käyttäjien kanssa.  Abstract Concepts of guidance in the context of mental health and substance abuse care – is client involvement enabled?   Changes in the social and health care services as well as the development and utilization of the new technological methods in the everyday practice of the social and health care, have revealed a need to increase the competence of staff in different guidance activities. This need was recognized in several studies especially in the planning phase of the social and health care reform. In practice, several concepts are nowadays used when describing guidance. In the presented study the main interest was on the concepts used in the context of mental health and substance abuse care, in which the recovery approach with strong emphasis on client involvement is the main approach today. With the document analysis the aim was to describe which concepts of guidance have been used in the Finnish reports on mental health and substance abuse care, the content of these concept descriptions and the perspectives their present. Data was gathered with stepwise PRISMA process. As a result, three concepts describing the guidance were found and the most common perspective in these concepts was the employee’s perspective, two others being the client’s and service perspectives. Client perspective was the least described in the contents of these concepts, which indicates that the participation of the client is not made visible or well-supported in practice.  It should be noted that this study has certain limitations, but the results are suggesting a need to develop the concepts of guidance towards more client-inclusive descriptions. It is recommended to work together with people with lived experience on mental health and substance abuse problems in this development process.

Corporate Takeover

This paper presents a political economic framework for viewing the social organization of the delivery of health care services and predicting a qualitatively different institutional configuration involving the health maintenance organization. The principal forces impacting American capitalism today are leading to a fundamental restructuring for increased social efficiency of the entire social welfare sector, including the health services industry. The method to achieve this restructuring involves health policy directed at raising the contribution to the social surplus from the delivery of health care services and eventual corporate domination. The health maintenance organization conceptualization is examined with suggestions as to how the HMO strategy promoted by the state leads to this corporate takeover. The mechanism and extent of the present corporate involvement are examined and implications of health services as a social control mechanism are presented.

Citizens Attitudes

Abstract This paper explores the factors that influence citizens' attitudes toward the alternative provision of health care services, leading them to be willing to make extra, informal payments within the public health care system. We question whether these attitudes depend primarily on inherent normative preferences, such as beliefs about the government's responsibility to its citizens, or on certain aspects of the reality that they experience, such as satisfaction with the quality and quantity of services as well as the fairness of public systems. Analyzing the findings from a national survey, the paper shows that practical considerations and real-world conditions strongly relate to attitudes more than normative perceptions do.

Smart Service

ABSTRACTIn this article, smart services are considered in the social and health care context. It is argued that new tools and information will help professionals, managers, and decision makers solve problems. Artificial intelligence, personalized medicine, social innovations, and the responsible use of social and health care data will create new services and improve access to all services. Organizational intelligence, smart services, and smart care are just some examples of the rhetoric that strengthens today’s discussions on social and health care in Finland. In conclusion, it is argued that developing and using smart services in social and health care have to be based on the user’s active role in smart service design processes. Management structures should support and encourage practices where the user’s involvement and participation is self-evident.Keywords: Smart social and health care. Services. Wellbeing.RESUMONeste artigo, os serviços inteligentes são analisados no contexto social e de saúde. Argumenta-se que as novas ferramentas e informações ajudarão os profissionais, os gerentes e os tomadores de decisão a resolverem problemas. A inteligência artificial, a medicina personalizada, as inovações sociais, bem como o uso responsável de dados sociais e de saúde criarão novos serviços e melhorarão o acesso a todos os serviços. A inteligência organizacional, os serviços inteligentes e o atendimento inteligente são apenas alguns exemplos da retórica que fortalece as discussões atuais sobre a assistência social e de saúde na Finlândia. Em conclusão, argumenta-se que o desenvolvimento e o uso de serviços inteligentes em serviços sociais e de saúde devem se basear no papel ativo do usuário nos processos de desenho de serviços inteligentes. As estruturas de gestão devem apoiar e encorajar práticas onde o envolvimento e a participação do usuário sejam evidentes.Palavras-chave: Assistência social e saúde inteligente. Serviços. Bem-estar.
