Staff Members Working with Disabled People and their Readiness to Handle Crisis Situations in the Context of Residential Services: A Psychological First Aid (PFA) Scenario as a Pedagogical Case Study Instrument

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Crisis situations are a natural and inseparable part of everyone’s life. There is also a continuous increase in the crisis situations regarding disabled people as residential services’ clients. To manage a crisis situation or an incident, these people might require specific support from staff members and a different approach, characterized by their disability in particular. Within the mentioned situations and the residential services context, people giving support are mainly staff members – well known and being trusted by their clients. For reasons of appropriate support of disabled people towards facilitation and handling a crisis situation, it is necessary to reinforce readiness of workers who, with an emphasis on the knowledge of a client’s life story, should react adequately in due time. This is called psychological first aid, commonly mentioned under its acronym PFA. Readiness to handle crisis situations can be considered as a professional skill that can be acquired and reinforced by effective and appropriate education of residential services workers, not only during undergraduate training but also in further continuous professional education. One of the aimed education methods is a pedagogical case study which is dealt with in this paper applying the theme of PFA in people with disabilities. The goal of this paper is to define PFA as educational content for its application in the form of a pedagogical case study method, to summarize PFA content as a possible educational scenario, and finally to structure the acquired education content/skills by means of Tic-Tac-Toe form. The findings of this paper might be applied to undergraduate as well as to professional education with the aim to strengthen autonomy and quality of decision-making processes, carried out by workers of caring professions, towards the required client’s support during and after a crisis situation.
