KEGA 021KU-4/2021 - Interprofessional cooperation in the rehabilitation of seniors

Co-investigator: PhDr. Lenka Štefáková, PhD.

Project leader: PhDr. Katarína Zrubáková, PhD.

Rehabilitation is one of the pillars of geriatric care. It helps improve the quality of life of seniors, but also of family members, by eliminating the need for assistance. Rehabilitation is an important part of treatment, but also a method of prevention. Interprofessional (multidisciplinary) cooperation is important for increasing the effectiveness of individual rehabilitation methods. Important members of the team include a doctor, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, nurse, social worker, but also the patient, family member, or caregiver. In this project, we will also focus on rehabilitation and its specificities in older age, as well as on individual techniques and interventions that are a priority in senior care. The aim of the project is to develop a textbook that will cover individual rehabilitation methods and techniques for nursing and physical therapy students. We will then monitor the students' skills and the effect of rehabilitation directly in practice in the follow-up care and geriatric departments using assessment scales. The results of clinical research, in which we will use both qualitative and quantitative methods, will be incorporated into the main output of the project—a scientific monograph. In addition to the research, the monograph will contain basic data on rehabilitation in geriatrics, the specifics of rehabilitation in the most common chronic diseases, but also acute diseases, especially respiratory infections. We will focus on nursing rehabilitation, therapeutic physical education, kinesiotherapy, ergotherapy, social rehabilitation, and more. The publication will be unique in its diverse content. We will link research outputs with the theoretical and practical characteristics of the methods. Another benefit is the authors themselves, who are professionals from various fields with many years of clinical and pedagogical practice.

 

KEGA 014KU-4/2020 Implementation of innovative tools in higher education in the field of social work with a focus on the employment of graduates

Deputy project manager: PhDr. Lenka Štefáková, PhD.

Project leader: doc. PhDr. Irena Kamanová, PhD.

The aim of the project is to create and pilot test a specialized web portal enabling a higher quality level of professional practice in the field of social work at universities that provide undergraduate training for future social workers and a closer link between theory and practice. The modern web platform is designed to create a user-friendly environment for all members of the triad – the university, the workplace, and the student. This includes the management and administration of the entire professional practice process, the selection of suitable variable tools for effective communication, built-in knowledge management elements enabling the sharing of theoretical knowledge with practice, and the streamlining of the individual continuous five-year process of training future social workers. The aim of the project stems from the fact that university study programs in social work are focused on acquiring, developing, and strengthening students' professional competencies in practice, with an emphasis on increasing the proportion of professional practice. Therefore, in the process of developing the competencies of future social workers at both the first and second levels of university study, it is necessary to ensure that students have real contact with social work and clients through practical training during their university education. This conditions the process of making the student's own tacit knowledge explicit. The purpose of the platform is to create optimal conditions for their fulfillment – for all members of the triad. From a network of cooperating practical workplaces (meeting the set criteria), the possibility of choice for students based on their own abilities and sufficient information for decision-making, as well as the use of knowledge management elements for the permanent development of the content of study units. The process of developing the platform will consist of analyzing the potential and needs of individual stakeholder groups, selecting appropriate tools for their mutual harmonization, and creating conditions/an environment enabling their mutual cooperation and knowledge sharing.
