RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of this concise review is to both demonstrate the pros and cons in regards to personal health budgets (PHBs), as well as critically evaluate their performance and possibilities. Another purpose of this paper is to familiarize the wider public with the concept of PHBs. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The reason behind introducing PHBs and direct payments was to bring social care and long-term healthcare “closer” to the patients in order to personalize treatment and support. By “personalization” we understand the possibility of choosing services that best meet the unique and individual needs of a specific person. However, the tempting concept of PHBs carries with itself both pros and cons. This qualitative, comprehensive narrative review brings to light the current state of knowledge and different parties’ opinions on PHBs. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: A PHB is an allocation of public/private financial resources used to identify and meet the health-related needs of a specific person. Such a resolution should potentially lead to new and innovative ways of spending the available funds, outside what traditional services offer, in order to personalize healthcare, increase its effectivity, and decrease the cost/benefit ratio. However, PHB’s are not all-inclusive but cater to needs easily overlooked in the traditional healthcare system. RESEARCH RESULTS: The described PHB organization combines the best available clinical experience with the cumulated health- and care-related experience of the patients. This way both long-term and new short-term needs can be addressed and the intervention that has begun can last as long as the patient needs it. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The healthcare system faces difficult times, and PHBs may be a potential solution to at least a part of the problems. The only question is will they be implemented correctly becoming a positive driver of change or will they become the anchor that pulls down a sinking ship?

The Greek emigration to communist countries was characterized by a large proportion of children who were evacuated during the height of the Greek Civil War. In the individual countries they were placed into children’s homes, where they remained even in the years after the arrival of adult refugees from Greece. These homes were also established in Czechoslovakia as early as 1948, and several dozen of them were built within a short period. The goal of this study is to demonstrate how the political dimension affected the organization of the care provided for children from Greece in these children’s homes. The article attempts to answer the following questions: which specific factors influenced the level of care for children from Greece in the initial period of their stay, and how was these factors’ influence reflected on the Czech side? The construction of the homes was complicated by problems caused by the lack of suitable buildings and disagreements with Greek officials. And the homes’ operation was affected by insufficient staffing, which was often criticized by the supervisory authorities. The difficulty of organizing assistance for Greek children in the first stage of their stay in Czechoslovakia was strongly affected by an emphasis on its political dimension and by the low degree of cooperation between key actors who were responsible for its provision.

There are two main subjects raised in the article, meaning the development of the occupation of a social worker and the pursuit to make the work for the ones in need professional. The latter has its genesis in the actions taken in the period of annexation. Trials to nd an efficient method to help people in dealing with life crisis have not been fully achieved yet although lasting over a century. Therefore, there is a question whether and in what extend may the practice of the following decades be used to build the occupation of a social worker, which will gain a status of a profession.

The Polish social assistance system, designed on the eve of systemic transformation, has had a major role in mitigating the effects of economic and social change. And in this sense, it served as a social welfare, despite the nomenclature in the form of social assistance. The purpose of this article is to examine whether, after almost three decades of operation, the system is still closer to what can be called social care or can it, in line with the terminology adopted, focus on aid. In attempt to answer these questions, the terms ‘social care’ and ‘social assistance’ were first defined to distinguish between the legal forms of care and aid services. Then, using quantitative data on the benefits provided in social assistance, it was concluded that care services are still prevalent in social assistance, which leads to a terminological-functional paradox.

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of multicultural-based digital comic media on the social care character of elementary school students. This study used a quantitative research approach with the type of Quasi Experiment. The trial involved 2 classes, namely IVA (control class) and IVB (experiment class) of Brajan State Elementary School, containing 20 students. The independent t-test shows a difference in social-caring character between students who use multicultural-based digital comic media during the learning process and those who do not use multicultural-based digital comic media, with a significance value (p) less than 0.05, which is 0.017. This study concludes that multicultural- based digital comic media is declared effective to be used to improve the social care character of grade IV elementary school students.

The Second Polish Republic developed an advanced and, in many ways, modern system of social care; however, the services which the citizens were entitled to seemed to be privileges available only to a small part of the population. The origins of this situation are to be found in the specific social and occupational structure of the population, low industrialization rate and the modest financial capabilities of the state and local governments. These resulted in a limited number of people with access to social insurances, a limited scope of public health care, a selective nature of access to unemployment insurance or radical differences in access to social care. And it is this unavailability of the social offer which determines the consideration of those benefits in Poland as privileges rather than commonly available rights of the Polish citizens.

Family and children represent interesting subtopics of social history – including the history of the Slovak State. On the one hand, the presented text examines and analyzes the meaning of the family in the Slovak State. On the other hand, it reflects the meaning and importance of children for the state, in which Hlinka´s Slovak People´s Party ruled authoritatively. The study also brings closer the connection between family and children. During the existence of the Slovak State, the family and children had a supreme position. Both were a “national importance”. They were related to the further survival of the Slovak nation and state. Slovak children and Slovak families were in the center of attention. Children were to live and grow up primarily in their own families, while families with a large number of children were considered ideal. This is also confirmed by the pro-population policy promoted at the time. However, as the Second World War progressed, many families – especially large families – struggled with insufficient material security. In the Slovak State led by Hlinka´s Slovak People´s Party, there has been a significant politicization of the importance of the family and the politicization of care for children and youth.

The key aspects to how the Swedish social insurance system is implemented are a high degree of universalism and the promotion of equality. The aim of this article is to explore certain issues of complexity in recent societal changes, in order to understand how to facilitate the provision of social welfare to disadvantaged migrant groups. The arguments presented in this article draw on contemporary research, current statistical resources and secondary sources in considering institutional aspects of social work and the provision of social pedagogy. The outlined contemporary issues concerning the migration situation in Sweden are reflected upon social segregation and social protection considered to be crucial to social pedagogy regimes. It is found that hidden social structures embedded in policy of e.g., multiculturalism may be counterproductive for the integration of new arrives.

The article concerns the field of social care and social assistance in the first years of the People’s Republic of Poland provided to individuals who suffered distress during World War Two. The timeline of the paper covers the years 1944-1948. At that time, the focus of social care and social assistance was satisfying the fundamental needs of the people, in particular in environments affected by the destruction of war. It included, among others, ensuring food, health care, accommodation, education and employment. The scale of the relief provided after the war by various Polish and international institutions was unprecedented in the history of the Polish social service with one in four Poles involved i.e. over 6 million people in total.

Lack of a universal pension system in the Kingdom of Poland in the late 19th and the early 20th centuries was one of the factors contributing to the difficult situation of the elderly from non-elite social strata, particularly in the face of insufficient support of the families. The homeless, who often also suffered from diseases, were crippled and begged, found themselves in a particularly difficult situation, men and women alike. Organising institutional social protection and medical care for this group required instant action. The priority was to establish homes for old people and various types of residential homes. This was primarily handled by charities for which medical care and welfare of the elderly were among the most important areas of activity. Old people’s homes were also established by religious communities and individualsas well as institutions operating on a self-help basis.

The influence of parents, families on the development of the individual and social identity of their child is extremely important. In the process of primary socialization, child acquires patterns of social roles, which modifying plays in its adulthood. Dysfunctional family is not able to perform its functions (socialization, educational, protective) properly, what can be harmful for children. In order to prevent child from the negative effects of dysfunction, family should be covered with a professional help. This assistance should base on the principle of subsidiarity and stimulates family to cooperation and activity in the exit of a difficult situation. Support in this area provide social assistance entities, using social work and legal advice. This form of support can equip the beneficiary professional knowledge, allow him to realize the cause of the problem. It has also educational character.

In the 1830s, thanks to the highest representatives of the land administration and the estate community, the first nursery schools were established in the Czech lands to offer day care to pre-school children, especially from working-class families. The article analyses the ways of representation of these institutions in public space using the example of nursery schools in Prague (Na Hrádku), Mladá Boleslav and Česká Lípa: the argumentation strategies in their establishment and subsequent evaluation of activities in the first years of their existence. Special attention is paid to the comparison of the nursery schools with the Czech and German languages of instruction and their legitimation motivated by charitable assistance or national agitation and differences in the content of the curriculum.

This paper deals with labour law and social security law in the Czech Republic as twin branches of law. Labour law deals with not only rights and duties of parties involved in the execution of dependent work, but also with related legal relationships. If work performed by a natural person for another natural or legal person bears signs of dependent work, it must be performed within a labour law relationship. A key principle of labour law is the principle that “everything which is not forbidden is allowed.” Labour law is traditionally divided into two parts, individual and collective labour law. Social security law is closely related to labour law, sometimes they constitute one unit (social law). Social law provides security related to health and social obstacles that prevent work execution. Social law is a joint term for both legal branches and is also the subject of education at certain German and Austrian universities. The opinion of the author of this paper is that it is a separate legal branch with both private and public elements.

The question of the dominant forms of benefits in the Polish social assistance, is the central question about the nature of social assistance. Trying to answer this question, operationalization of the concepts of social care and social assistance was made in order to distinguish the legally binding forms of care and assistance benefits. Then, using quantitative data on the benefits granted under social assistance (2010), the findings on the condition of social assistance were formulated, with the main conclusion defining social assistance as a „paper social assistance”.

Pytanie o dominujące formy świadczeń w polskiej pomocy społecznej jest pytaniem o fundamentalnym znaczeniu z punktu widzenia celów i racji bytu tego obszaru polityki społecznej. Próbując odpowiedzieć na tę kwestię, w pierwszej kolejności dokonano operacjonalizacji pojęć opieki oraz pomocy społecznej, by za ich pomocą wyróżnić obowiązujące prawnie formy świadczeń o charakterze opiekuńczym oraz pomocowym. Następnie posługując się ilościowymi danymi na temat zrealizowanych świadczeń w pomocy społecznej (w 2010 r.), sformułowano wnioski na temat kondycji pomocy społecznej, wśród których wyróżnia się ogólna konstatacja, iż obecnie mamy do czynienia z „papierową” pomocą społeczną.

The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence of depression and factors determining its occurrence among beneficiaries of the City Social Care Centre Lodz-Polesie aged 65 and over. In conducting the study health related quality of life geriatric depression rating scale was used. The first stage of the research was conducted in 2011 among 108 people. In statistical analysis there were used: structure indices, measurable features distribution and χ2 test of independence. In the study there were 88 (81.5%) women and 20 (18.5%) men. The average age of beneficiaries was 78.2 years. Men receiving social care benefits were mainly bachelors or widowers, while women most often were widowed. Older people mainly benefited from the care services (77.1%). 22.9% of all patients benefited from financial assistance in the form of benefits. 81.2% of seniors indicated that they suffer from chronic diseases, while only 18.8% indicated that they are ill rarely or never. Among 78% of people probable depression was found. There was found statistic correlation between the incidence of depression and education, subjective assessment of health status and level of satisfaction with life. The most important conclusions are: 1) older people receiving social assistance are highly prone to depression, 2) understanding of the determinants of depression in the elderly can help to improve their quality of life and to reduce costs of medical aid caused this disease.

Celem niniejszej pracy była próba oceny częstości występowania depresji i wybranych czynników warunkujących jej występowanie wśród podopiecznych Miejskiego Ośrodka Pomocy Społecznej Łódź-Polesie w wieku 65 lat i więcej. Przeprowadzając badanie jakości życia związanej ze stanem zdrowia osób starszych jako jedno z narzędzi badania stosowano Geriatryczną Skalę Oceny Depresji. Pierwszy etap badania przeprowadzono w 2011 roku wśród 108 osób. W analizie statystycznej danych wykorzystano wskaźniki struktury, miary położenia dla cech mierzalnych oraz test niezależności χ2. W badaniu wzięło udział 88 (81,5%) kobiet i 20 (18,5%) mężczyzn. Średni wiek badanych wynosił 78,2 lat. Mężczyźni uzyskujący świadczenia pomocy społecznej najczęściej byli kawalerami lub wdowcami, zaś kobiety najczęściej były owdowiałe. Osoby starsze w głównej mierze korzystały z usług opiekuńczych (77,1%). Niemal 23% wszystkich badanych korzystało z pomocy finansowej w postaci zasiłków. Aż 81,2% badanych seniorów wskazało, że choruje przewlekle lub często, zaś jedynie 18,8%, że rzadko lub wcale. U 78% badanych stwierdzono prawdopodobną depresję. Stwierdzono istotną statystycznie zależność pomiędzy występowaniem depresji, a wykształceniem, subiektywną oceną stanu zdrowia, a także poziomem zadowolenia z życia. Najważniejsze wnioski płynące z badania to: 1) osoby starsze korzystające z pomocy społecznej są w dużym stopniu narażone na występowanie depresji; 2) poznanie uwarunkowań występowania depresji u osób starszych może przyczynić się do poprawy ich jakości życia i do zmniejszenia wydatków na opiekę medyczną powodowaną tą chorobą.

Housing policy has been and still is an important part of social policy. The intervention instruments of housing policy maintain a balance between the housing market and the financial affordability of adequate housing even for those with the lowest income. This article aims to analyse the involvement of social workers in addressing housing issues in the city of Ostrava in the context of the housing policy of the former Czechoslovakia. In terms of time, the project was focused mainly on the period of the first half of the 20th century, which is associated with the professionalization of social work in Czechoslovakia. Social work has been actively involved in the practical application of housing policy measures since residential care was made part of the work of social workers. The housing issue and seeking solutions to it in Ostrava more or less followed the progress of the country as a whole. The emphasis on the readiness of future professional social workers in the performance of residential care under the respective departments in state institutions in Ostrava was already incorporated into their training. The social work methods applied in Ostrava included social casework. Ostrava based companies, in particular Vítkovice Ironworks have made contributions to housing construction and residential care. Based on studies of archival resources it can be concluded that social work as a practical activity was actively involved in addressing housing issues during the reporting period.
