Project leader: doc. PhDr. Irena Kamanová, PhD.
The aim of the project is the creation and pilot testing of a specialized web portal enabling a qualitatively higher level of implementation of professional practice in the field of social work at universities providing undergraduate training of future social workers and a closer link between theory and practice. The modern web platform is to create a user-friendly environment for all members of the triad - the university, the practice workplace and the student. This is in terms of management and administration of the whole process of professional practice, selection of appropriate variable tools for effective communication, embedded elements of knowledge management enabling mutual sharing of theoretical knowledge with practice and streamlining the individual continuous five-year process of training of the future social worker. The intention of the project derives from the fact that university study programmes in social work are content-oriented towards the acquisition, development and strengthening of the student's professional competences in practice, with an emphasis on increasing the share of professional practice. Therefore, in the process of developing the competences of the future social worker of the first and second university degree, it is necessary to ensure the real contact of students with social work and the client, through practical education taking place during their university training. This conditions the process of making the student's own tacit knowledge more explicit. The purpose of the platform is to create optimal conditions for their fulfilment - for all members of the triad. From a network of collaborating practice sites (meeting set criteria), the possibility of choice for the student based on their own abilities and sufficient information for decision making, as well as the use of elements of knowledge management for the permanent development of the content of the study units. The process of developing the platform will consist of analysing the potential and needs of the different stakeholder groups, selecting the appropriate tools to align them with each other and creating the conditions/environment to enable them to collaborate and share knowledge with each other.
KEGA 021KU-4/2021 - Interprofessional cooperation in rehabilitation of the elderly
Rehabilitation is one of the pillars of geriatric care. It helps to 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 team members include the doctor, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, nurse, social worker, but also the patient, family member or carer. The project will also focus on rehabilitation and its specificities in the elderly, but also on the individual techniques and interventions that are a priority in the care of the elderly. The intention of the project is to develop scripts that will include individual methods, techniques of rehabilitation for nursing and physiotherapy students. We will then observe the students' skills and the effect of rehabilitation directly in practice in the nursing and geriatric wards using assessment scales. The results of the clinical research using both qualitative and quantitative methods will be incorporated into the main output of the project- a scientific monograph. In addition to research, the monograph will contain basic data on rehabilitation in geriatrics, specific features of rehabilitation implementation in the most frequently occurring chronic diseases, but also acute, especially respiratory infections. Nursing rehabilitation, therapeutic physical education, kinesiotherapy, occupational therapy, social rehabilitation, etc. will be covered. We will link research outputs with theoretical and practical characteristics of the methods. The authors themselves, who are professionals in various fields with many years of clinical and pedagogical experience, are also a benefit.
