(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2020) Delgado Cevallos, Daniela Vanessa; Fernández Aucapiña, Nancy Yolanda; 0105531065
Social work in the gerontological area demands a multidisciplinary intervention, therefore the social worker must develop a thorough intervention that covers the older adult from its global context, supported by the use of techniques, tools, instruments, among other essential components of praxis. For the development of the research, the general objective was "to analyze the intervention developed by the social worker in the gerontological area of the city of Cuenca, in the period September 2019 - February 2020". The methodology used was the culi/quantitative method, the data collection technique was the structured survey with open and closed questions, applied to the entire population. Based on the results obtained in the study, it is evident the absence of professionals in the area of Social Work in the different Gerontological centers that were considered as the object of this research process. Of the eleven centers that were surveyed, only four have Social Work professionals in their interdisciplinary team; it was also evidenced that the Social Work professionals focus their intervention on the bio-psychosocial wellbeing of the older adult, empowering capacities from an individual, group and community level.
