FACTORS IN THE ABILITY OF (SELF) REFLECTION AS A TOOL TO COPE WITH THE DEMANDING PRACTICE OF SOCIAL WORK WITH VULNERABLE CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES

Original language description

In today's social work, which can be characterised by reductionism, bureaucratisation, and the growing complexity of clients' life situations, the importance of reflection ability as a tool to deal with uncertainty, worries about making mistakes, and the ability to work with messy and complex client problems, is growing. The paper aims to determine, on the basis of a factor analysis of the GRAS and SRIS inventories, factors of (self) reflection of the ability of Czech social workers working with vulnerable children and their families, and also to map the (self) reflection ability of social workers working with vulnerable children in defined factors. The objective of the paper was met using a quantitative research strategy, where 145 inventory series were collected, which were subsequently analysed using an exploratory factor analysis and methods of descriptive statistics. The following factors with the lowest average score across both questionnaires and their combinations were identified: Understanding (and Empathy) in relation to others, Understanding to oneself, Meaningfulness and Self-awareness. Education of Czech social workers in reflection ability should focus on the above factors.
