Project title: Self-care as a factor in coping with the negative consequences of performing professions

Project implementation period: 07/2015 - 06/2019

Position in the project: co-investigator of the project


The basic objective of the project is to verify the assumption that self-care is a predictor of experienced negative consequences of practising the helping professions. To this end, a follow-up verification of the possibility of eliminating the negative effects of practising the helping professions by means of change in self-care of people engaged in helping professions. Part of the verification of the hypothesis is revealing the current state of self-care in people doing helping professions in social care, as well as the simultaneous occurrence of negative consequences of practising the helping professions such as experiencing stress, burnout, vicarious trauma, and dissatisfaction with their work. The results will be validated questionnaires for self-care in helping professions, the acquisition of knowledge regarding these issues and the construction of intervention programs aimed to change the self-care and eliminate the negative effects of practising the helping professions. Intervention programs will be provided to welfare facilities.

Project title: "Push-pull" social factors related to the degree of radicalization of adolescents in the context of Social Work

Project implementation period: 01 / 21-12 / 23

Position in the project: principal investigator of the project

Brief description of the project: The main goal of the project is to compile a "push-pull" model of social and family predictors of adolescent radicalization and to verify the assumption that the radicalization process is influenced by specific operationalized factors. The project corresponds to the working fields of social work and the modeled predictors are influenced by its tools. It partially focuses on the exploration of the process of radicalization of adolescents in the conditions of the Slovak Republic and its identification. The result of the project will be a model of important social and family "push-pull" predictors of the process of radicalization of adolescents.

Project title: Risk behavior of adolescents as clients of social work due to their loneliness

Project implementation period: 01/18 - 12/20

Position in the project: co-investigator of the project

Brief description of the project: The ambition of the project developers was achieved: to examine the relationship between adolescents' loneliness and their risk behavior and to create a tool for measuring the loneliness of the target group. Research has shown that there is a correlation between experiencing loneliness and the occurrence of risky behavior in social work clients. At the same time, the team of the grant task proposed a tool for measuring loneliness as a possible preventive means in social work with clients.
