U ovom radu pruža se pregled aktualnih spoznaja o tome što su kompetencije u socijalnom radu, što pokazuju istraživanja o mjerenjima kompetencija, te koji je značaj razvoja okvira kompetencija za socijalni rad u Hrvatskoj. Profesionalne kompetencije shvaćaju se kao rezultat trokuta znanja, vještina i vrijednosti, čime se stavlja naglasak na djelotvornost rada, ali i osobne dimenzije stručnjaka. Sistematizirano je osam područja generičkih kompetencija za socijalni rad, a čine ih procesne kompetencije (za izravan rad s korisnikom) i sedam metakompetencija: profesionalno ponašanje i profesionalni identitet, profesionalna etika, multikulturalnost i inkluzivna praksa, kritički strukturalni pristup, integracija teorije u praksi i kritičko mišljenje, međusektorska suradnja i makropristup te vodstvo i funkcioniranje u organizaciji. U prikazanoj istraživačkoj praksi mjerenje kompetencija uglavnom se radi pristupom samoprocjene i procjene samoefikasnosti, a manje su zastupljena mjerenja temeljena na promatranju opažača. Bez obzira na način mjerenja, predlaže se da se okvir kompetencija i mjerni instrumenti posebno razviju poštujući specifičnosti nacionalnog konteksta. U radu se prikazuju
Alcoholism is significant public health problem in Croatia and affects almost a quarter of population. However, there has been a lack of qualitative research revealing complexity of phenomenon and experiences related to alcoholism, treatment and abstinence. Paper reports on conducted phenomenological qualitative study with 9 participants that have undergone phases from addiction to established abstinence. It is noted that these experiences are non-linear, personal trajectories are different, and above all they are multidimensional. Experiences are multidimensional and constructed on 6 levels: cognitive, emotional, behavioral aspects, relations with social context, important life events and alcoholism and treatment in narrow clinical sense. In stage when alcoholism is developing, attempts of balancing and experiments with sobriety exist, and participants assign different meanings to drinking. In stage of crucial change that mostly happens within hospital treatment, treatment itself is generator of many specific challenges with many experiences of emotional, cognitive or behavioural crisis during abstinence. In stage of maintaining abstinence, participants differ in a way that some have narrower approach focusing on abstinence as behavioural task; while other have more holistic approach viewing alcoholism just as an inducement for overall transformation. Experiences related to alcoholism and treatment are multidimensional and more introspective. Phenomenological study enables us to get intimate personal stories that have strong legitimacy in further understanding of the phenomenon.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
