This thesis is about an attitude of social workers towards supervision in a certain social service organization. Theoretical concepts outline the problems of social professions, supervision of social workers and attitudes as factors for various ways of accepting supervision. As results of conceptualization of theory some questions appeared. Those were separated into the three research parts while respecting three stages of attitudes. Parts are cognitive, emotional and behavioral. The research question was "What is social workers attitude towards supervision in a certain social service organization?" An answer to this question was searched through quality research strategy.

This work paies that, dilemmas of the work a client and problems of social workers. Through studies available resources and fulfilment qualitative research has been that social workers must most often decide under the pressure of circumstances and importance of the situation; must prioritize either the quality of services or the number of clients; must be able to select the correct variant in the event of intervention or non-intervention in a client{\crq}s situation; know how much help they can give so that they do not control the client; and be able to manage moral conflicts. Social workers most often rely on their knowledge and experience, professional judgment and conscientiousness. . It is also important that a social worker can confide in a senior worker and have an opportunity to discuss with them all required matters. Gained experience provides workers with a dispassionate point of view for decision-making.

This thesis is concerned with the impact of professional background on role fulfilment. In the United Kingdom current policy in health and social care in mental health is underpinned by integration; the idea that responsibilities can be accomplished irrespective of profession. Approved mental health practice is one example of a psychiatric statutory role and function, until recently carried out by the profession of social work, which is now extended to other, non-medical, mental health professions. This thesis aims to explore the role and experiences of current practitioners in order to understand the impact, if any, of professional background on the fulfilment of approved mental health practice and the way in which it is experienced. Qualitative data are generated through semi-structured individual interviews with twelve approved mental health practitioners: five nurses, two occupational therapists and five social workers and the use of rich pictures to supplement the interview discussions. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was applied to the verbatim transcripts. Key findings were that approved mental health practice can be accomplished irrespective of professional background. Its practitioners require particular shared attributes, specifically a cognitive and affective capacity to deal with and use discord and to manage the disparate emotions that occur. Conceptualised in this thesis as "pull," this finding constitutes a different understanding of the use of emotion in the workplace and provides evidence of a new emotional dimension; the active use of dissonance. Professional identity is also found to be influenced by approved mental health practice thereby turning on its head the original hypothesis of this thesis. Last, personhood is found to be an additional aspect of the moral framework for approved mental health practice and is being practiced in a different circumstance than previously considered. The implications of this work are that it challenges the perception that approved mental health practice is synonymous with the profession of social work. It also revives the theory that its normative moral framework is inherently contradictory. The present study appears to be the first to associate personhood with approved mental health practice and shows role fulfilment as sophisticated emotion management, primarily the active use of dissonance. Both provide new insights into the enactment of approved mental health practice and are important issues for the future training and development of practitioners. The influence on role of professional identity may also help policy makers better understand the impact that new ways of working in mental health might have on traditional professional roles and boundaries in integrated services.

In the theoretical part, there I devote to the family itself, what are its functions, further I deal with a marriage and parenthood. In the next chapter I explain the divorce with minor children, causes of the divorce rate and the children´s reactions to the divorce. This is followed by a chapter on the social worker dealing with the children´s social and legal protection, his roles and competences, which dilemmas he encounters during his work. Last but not least I deal with the mutual and alternate care. What are prerequisites of the successful alternate care, its advantages and disadvantages. I chose a technique of a semi-structured interview for the qualitative research. There is a minimum of topics and questions that the interviewer must discuss. These basic topics and interviews then are attached by various other additional topics that the interviewer seemed to be meaningful or suitable to an extension of the original assignment. Data obtained through the interview I worked out using the coding. The research sample has been represented by the department of the children´s social and legal protection. This department belongs under the department of social affairs in municipalities with extended powers. Specifically, they were social workers of this department who I gained all the necessary information for the research from. The aim of this thesis was to describe the dilemmas of the social worker in the area of the social work in connection with the decision on the alternate care for the minor child. The research showed that there still prevails the number of children, who are placed by the court in the sole custody of mothers in the Czech Republic. It more often happens, that children´s fathers who were for the alternate care at the beginning, after a certain time revise their opinions and decide to leave the education of the children to their mothers. Regarding the dilemmas of the social workers dealing with the children´s social and legal protection, there are situations which occur more and more. These are especially situations when parents cannot agree on any rules on which the alternate care could run smoothly. In those above mentioned situations the child is placed in the sole custody to one of the parents. The everyday problem of the social workers is a large number of clients. The main reason for this is a growing number of divorces. To be able to cope with so many clients, all leads to the fact that the social workers are forced to reduce their time, energy, but also their attention which is to be paid to individual clients. Specifically in České Budějovice, the social workers from the department of the children´s social and legal protection lead only very few consultations with their clients directly in their office. It is especially due to the lack of their time, because they more often go to investigate a particular family on demand of the court. Many social workers meet the fact that the family wants to realize the alternate care, but for the reason of the non-cooperation of the both parents most of the alternate cares come to an end. As for the forms of the alternate care, most families realize a week alternate care. Mainly it is at the primary school-age children for the reason that the children are small and after a short time they miss the other parent. A 14-day alternate care is realized at the older children. They usually dislike their permanent moving from one parent to the other. A contribution of this thesis is to provide a topic for the social workers dealing with the children´s social and legal protection, to use it in their own practice in connection with the alternate care. Finally, the results can be used for an evaluation of the social workers´ approach to the families wishing to realize the alternate care.

Social work in health care is a field in which health care blends with social care and represents inseparable part of curing and nursing process. There is not given enough attention and importance to this field, which it should deserve. The role of a social worker in the care of a hospitalized child is not sufficiently surveyed and defined, and therefore it became the theme of this dissertation. The main objective of this research was to look into the role of a social worker in the care of a hospitalized child. These partial goals were set for the survey: 1. To find out the subjective perception of the role of a social worker in the care of a hospitalized child from the point of the social workers themselves. 2. To find out what goal the operation of social work in the care of a hospitalized child is to achieve. 3. To look into what position in the medical team the social worker has in the framework of the care of a hospitalized child. 4. To find out what methods of social work are the most frequently used by social workers in the care of a hospitalized child. The theoretical part of the dissertation deals with social work in hospital. Following chapters describe social workers in hospital including their approaches to clients and theoretical definition of their role. Chapters dealing with children in hospital, social work with them and the whole family also represent a significant part of the theory. A qualitative survey using the method of making inquires was chosen for the purposes of the dissertation. The survey was carried out in a semi-conducted interview, which was divided into several fields enabling deeper insight into this specific profession and more concrete characteristics of the role held by the social worker in the care of a hospitalized child. A surveyed specimen consisted of female social workers in hospitals working within the framework of their field work with hospitalized children and their families. The selection of the surveyed specimen was intentional. For the sake of the survey ten interviews with social workers were carried out. Thanks to the opinions of the social workers the role of the social worker in the care of the hospitalized child can be, expressed with the aid of several graphs, which serve for clear and lucid orientation in results brought by this survey. Based on the survey results following hypotheses were defined: H 1: Social workers in the care of the hospitalized child most frequently hold the role of an advisor. H 2: The position of the social worker in the medical team is not equal. H 3: Dialogue is the most frequently used techniques in the social work with the child and their family. The survey reveals the importance of the role of the social worker in the care of the hospitalized child. The dissertation should mainly serve for opening the discussion about the role of the social worker in the hospital, in this case in the care of a hospitalized child.

The present thesis deals with the approach to social work of undergraduate and MA social work students who, thanks to their completing their BA studies, have gained the status of social worker under the law no. 108/2006 Sb. The aim of the thesis is to establish if there are any differences in the approach to social work between students of the individual study programmes at the Theological faculty and the Faculty of Health and Social Studies. The thesis also briefly covers different topics connected with this matter. Another part of the thesis is also a research which aims at determining if there is a connection among the foci of the individual fields of social work and the different types of social work approach based on Musil. Furthermore, I aim to establish if there is a mutual connection between the study program studied and the way the situations are solved based on selected ethical theories, and also what is the attitude of students toward ethical codes and Ethics classes.

Fundação Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro / O trabalho do assistente social na indústria da construção civil no município do Rio de Janeiro, diante das conseqüências das transformações do capital, a partir de 1990, contribui para a reflexão sobre os novos desafios impostos ao exercício profissional dos assistentes sociais, os dilemas, as tendências e as perspectivas captadas no trabalho desse profissional nessa área, em grandes cidades no Brasil, segundo uma leitura apoiada na perspectiva teórico-metodológica de Marx. Na analise da crise global do capital, destacando as mudanças no trabalho, no Estado e nas políticas sociais públicas e empresariais, que leva à intensificação do trabalho subcontratado e à precarização cada vez mais acentuada das condições da força de trabalho, particularmente a desse ramo industrial, historicamente pauperizada e explorada no País, são focalizadas as novas e velhas formas de gestão do trabalho, com destaque aos programas de qualidade total, de responsabilidade social e de trabalho com comunidades alvo de obras públicas. De um lado, as mudanças resultam em perdas dos postos e de programas tradicionais de trabalho, com precarização dos contratos. De outro lado, são ampliadas as demandas e perspectivas de trabalho dos assistentes sociais nesse campo, em face da formação e habilidades profissionais diante das novas exigências dos padrões de qualidade e do atendimento às comunidades nas quais são executadas obras públicas, como favela bairro. Conclui-se sobre as possibilidades na ocupação dos novos espaços sócio-educativos, neles inserindo as tradicionais políticas de assistência, na concepção de direito social, conjugando, assim, o tratamento objetivo das necessidades sociais com o relativo à subjetividade dos trabalhadores e ao controle social das comunidades, como sujeitos políticos. Nessa direção, é indicada a aproximação entre os profissionais e a academia, como meio para viabilizar o atual projeto ético-político hegemônico da categoria dos assistentes sociais nesse campo.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo problematizar as práticas do assistente social a partir da minha experiência profissional nas áreas da saúde mental e assistência social.

Trabalhamos como assistente social neste ambulatório desde a sua implantação em maio de 2000, o que nos possibilitou uma maior compreensão dos aspectos relativos à vida sexual e reprodutiva das usuárias, despertando nosso interesse em estudar e pesquisar assuntos pertinentes as suas vidas na tarefa de ser mulher, trabalhadora e mãe. Pesquisamos qual conhecimento estas mulheres têm sobre o planejamento familiar, considerando serem elas as maiores usuárias dos serviços de saúde e, em geral, quem decide qual método contraceptivo será usado pelo casal, mesmo quando quem vai se submeter à cirurgia de esterilização seja o seu companheiro. Justifica-se nosso interesse no descortinamento dessa realidade, pois munidas dessas reflexões elas poderão ter maiores condições de decidirem sobre suas vidas, mesmo dentro do contexto e influência da sociedade a qual pertencem e do meio em que vivem. Utilizamo-nos da pesquisa quantitativa e qualitativa. Para a abordagem quantitativa aplicamos questionário a sessenta mulheres usuárias do Ambulatório de Planejamento Familiar. Realizamos a pesquisa qualitativa entrevistando seis mulheres selecionadas aleatoriamente deste universo. A análise favoreceu a elaboração de um perfil das usuárias do ambulatório, bem como identificação das crenças e valores por elas relatados. O estudo favoreceu uma compreensão da vida dessas mulheres que ressaltam a maternidade como umas das vantagens em ser mulher, mas num paradoxo a colocam como um peso, um fardo, e expressam suas insatisfações em se aterem à vida privada, deixando explícito o desejo de se interarem do mundo público. / This research has as objective to do an approach of the reality lived by the women that make use of the Clinic of Family Planning, equipment of health belonging to the Municipal Secretariat of Health in the municipal district of Franca / SP.

We researched which knowledge these women have about the family planning, considering be them the largest users of the services of health and, in general, who decides which contraceptive method will be used by the couple, same when who will submit to the sterilization surgery is his companion. It is justified our interest in the discovery of that reality, because starting from those reflections they can have larger conditions of they decide about their lives, same inside of the context and influence of the society which they belong and of the middle in that they live.
