“…Una encuestada se refiere a la imposibilidad de movilizarse conjuntamente con sus pares, y otra a la imposibilidad de conocer las caras de las personas a quienes les da clase vía Internet que no tienen cámara de video o suficientes datos para conectarla. Estas respuestas dan cuenta de modos en que el pasaje obligado de la comunicación presencial a la digitalmente mediada dificulta ciertas formas de accionar propias de una ética feminista del cuidado (Tronto, 2005;Gary & Berlinger, 2020). En una reflexión solidaria, otra de las encuestadas llama la atención sobre el hecho de que las mujeres que no tienen acceso a conexión a Internet en sus hogares y/o a datos móviles y a dispositivos digitales no se pudieron comunicar a la par de las que sí.…”

Las mujeres constituyen casi el 53% de la población de la Argentina. Si bien la constitución nacional y leyes específica garantizan la protección de sus derechos, en la práctica la pobreza, la discriminación y la violencia las afectan de manera singular y desproporcionada. Durante la pandemia de COVID-19, la situación de las mujeres, que ya era precaria, empeoró, sin que existiera la posibilidad de organizar movilizaciones que expongan la situación y las demandas en el espacio público, algo que en los años anteriores tuvo una potencia colectiva inédita. ¿Cómo cambiaron las maneras cotidianas de comunicarse de estas mujeres durante la pandemia? ¿Y cómo influyó respecto de las problemáticas que las afectan y las movilizan? A partir de una encuesta cualitativa en línea realizada entre junio y agosto de 2021, el artículo explora las prácticas comunicacionales de las mujeres en Argentina durante la cotidianidad pandémica y analiza el rol de las tecnologías digitales como herramientas ambivalentes en relación con sus esfuerzos por promover la justicia de género.

“…The vulnerabilities of people in need of care -including but not limited to people with moderate to advanced dementia -and of people who work in the low-wage care workforce are linked. Going forward, gerontology and bioethics can develop behavioral and social science research on the pandemic experiences of people with dementia, family caregivers, and paid care workers in longterm care and home health settings, informed by normative work on care (Gary & Berlinger, 2020).…”

The interdisciplinary field of bioethics focuses on what it means to be a person, flourish as a person and be respected as a person in different conditions of health, illness, or disability. Bioethics and policy research considers normative questions such as how a good society, through its priorities and investments, should demonstrate its commitments to the lives of different populations. Bioethics and humanities scholarship, often known as “health humanities,” shares affinities with age studies and disability studies, and with narrative-based approaches to the study of human experience. Gerontology is concerned with the many aspects of life that affect how people age, including social structures and values that influence the experience of growing old. In this paper, we briefly explore the evolution of bioethics, from a discourse that emerged in relation to developments in biomedicine, bioscience, and biotechnology; to research ethics; to broader ethical questions emerging from real-world conditions, with attention to how bioethics has considered the experience of aging. Until recently, most age-focused work in bioethics has concerned age-associated illness, particularly end-of-life decision-making. Given the reality of population aging and the ethical concerns accompanying the shift in age for most places in the world, the further evolution of bioethics involves greater attention to the support of flourishing in late life and to social justice and health equity in aging societies. We argue that the discourses of bioethics and critical gerontology, in dialogue, can bring new understanding of privilege and preference, disparity and disadvantage, and reflection and respect for aging individuals.

“…This is unlikely to be a short‐term consequence. Rather, recovery from the pandemic, particularly for those who develop longer‐term mental health issues, moral injury, and post‐traumatic stress disorder will take years, and it has been suggested that pandemic recovery for care workers should be framed by an ethic of care (Gary & Berlinger, 2020). “Moral distress” arises when someone acts in a way that is contrary to their moral or ethical values, often as a result of external pressures, whereas “moral injury” is the longer‐lasting psychological effects of these sustained actions (Hossain & Clatty, 2021).…”

Introduction:The COVID-19 pandemic had an unprecedented effect on those living and working in care-homes for older people, as residents were particularly vulnerable to contracting the SARS-CoV-2 virus, associated with high morbidity and mortality. Often undervalued, care-home nurses (RNs) are leaders, managing complex care while working in isolation from their professional peers. The pandemic made this more apparent, when care and treatments for COVID-19 were initially unknown, isolation increased due to withdrawal of many professional health services, accompanied by staff shortages. Objective: To explore RNs' experiences of working in older people's care-homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design: Qualitative interview study. Setting: Care-homes for older people in England and Scotland, UK. Methods: Recruitment via direct contact with care-homes, social media, and links provided by national partners, then purposive sampling for age, gender, type of carehome, and location. Data collected through one-to-one online interviews using topic guide developed collaboratively with care-home nurses, focusing on how COVID-19 impacted on nurses' resilience and mental wellbeing. Data analyzed thematically using Tronto's ethics of care framework to guide development of interpretative themes. Results: Eighteen nurses (16 female; 16 adult, and two mental health nurses) were interviewed March-June 2021; majority aged 46-55 years; mean time registered with Nursing and Midwifery Council: 19 years; 17 had nursed residents with COVID-19.RNs' experiences resonated with Tronto's five tenets of ethical care: attentiveness, responsibility, competence, responsiveness, and solidarity. All nurses described being attentive to needs of others, but were less attentive to their own needs, which came at personal cost. RNs were aware of their professional and leadership responsibilities, being as responsive as they could be to resident needs, processing and sharing rapidly changing guidance and implementing appropriate infection control measures, but felt
