“…According to the World Health Organization (WHO), vulnerability is the degree to which a population, individual, or organization is unable to anticipate, cope with, resist, and recover from the impacts of disasters [ 1 ]. The concept of vulnerability refers to those sectors or groups of the population that, due to their age, sex, marital status, or ethnic origin, are in a risky condition that prevents them from accessing development and better welfare conditions [ 2 ]. These people are suffering or undergoing a painful experience [ 3 ] and turn to social services for a solution [ 4 , 5 ].…”

Social workers in the community setting are in constant contact with the suffering experienced by the most vulnerable individual. Social interventions are complex and affect social workers’ emotional well-being. The aim of this study was to identify the emotions, feelings, and experiences social workers have while attending to individuals in situations of vulnerability and hardship. A qualitative methodology based on hermeneutic phenomenology was used. Six interviews and two focus group sessions were conducted with social workers from the community social services and health services of the Andalusian Public Health System in the province of Almería (Spain). Atlas.ti 8.0 software was used for discourse analysis. The professionals highlighted the vulnerability of certain groups, such as the elderly and minors, people with serious mental problems, and people with scarce or no economic resources. Daily contact with situations of suffering generates a variety of feelings and emotions (anger, sadness, fear, concern). Therefore, more attention should be paid to working with the emotions of social workers who are exposed to tense and threatening situations. Peer support, talking, and discussions of experiences are pointed out as relevant by all social workers. Receiving training and support (in formal settings) in order to learn how to deal with vulnerable groups could be positive for their work and their professional and personal quality of life.

Pretende-se discutir a relação entre o direito ao livre desenvolvimento da personalidade previsto constitucionalmente e os condicionamentos colocados por específicas situações de vulnerabilidade à suscetibilidade de gozo e exercício de direitos fundamentais. A vulnerabilidade surge como um fenómeno transversal e universal, episódico ou permanente. A reflexão e a intervenção legal na vulnerabilidade são justificadas com vista ao respeito pela dignidade humana e à promoção de valores como a autonomia, a saúde, a integridade física ou mental. O respeito pela diferença das necessidades pessoais afasta a normalização e impõe a substituição do modelo médico por um modelo social de vulnerabilidade. Daqui resulta um eventualmente genérico dever de cuidado cometido ao Estado, que de modo não paternalista permita atender a situações de desequilíbrio discriminatório (v.g. pessoas com deficiência, mas também crianças ou idosos), exigindo a escalpelização dos específicos problemas de grupos vulneráveis que reclamam a consideração específica do princípio da igualdade. We intended to discuss the relationship between the right to the free development of personality constitutionally enshrined and the conditions placed by specific situations of vulnerability to the exercise of fundamental rights. Vulnerability appears as a transversal and universal phenomenon, episodic or permanent. The reflection and legal intervention on vulnerability are thus justified as a view of respecting human dignity and of promoting values such as autonomy, health, physical or mental integrity. The respect for the different personal needs precludes normalization and imposes the substitution of the medical model for a social model of vulnerability. This results in an eventually generic duty of care committed to the State, which – in a non-paternalistic way – must deal with situations of discriminatory imbalance (eg people with disabilities, but also children or the elderly), requiring the analysis of the specific problems of vulnerable groups that demand consideration specific to the principle of equality.

Os sujeitos vulneráveis (indivíduos e grupos), dos requerentes de asilo aos membros de minorias culturais e sociais, portadores de deficiência, idosos e mulheres, têm simultaneamente necessidades comuns e específicas de reconhecimento e proteção. Neste texto discute-se a atitude do Estado, constitucional e de Direito, perante a vulnerabilidade de indivíduos e grupos no contexto de uma teoria da justiça que sustenta um Estado comprometido com os direitos humanos e fundamentais e com a dignidade da pessoa humana, por um lado, e “responsivo” perante a vulnerabilidade, por outro. Tal exige um entendimento complexo da igualdade, exigindo simultaneamente a adoção de normas de proteção e de políticas iguais e diferenciadas. Exige igualmente que, a par da discussão sobre as possibilidades de proteção, se abordem os limites a essa proteção, designadamente aqueles que resultam da proteção jusfundamental da autonomia e da dignidade da pessoa humana.
