Introduction: The history of palliative care dates back to the 1950s. Purpose: To examine the perceptions of hospice workers and family members of hospice patients related to hospice care in Podlaskie province in Poland. Materials and methods: The present study included 103 hospice workers and 104 family members of patients in hospice. The survey approach was used. Results: 56.7% families and 95.1% hospice workers considered hospice comprehensive care for terminally ill patients. In all, 84.6% of the families and 91.3% of the staff thought positively about hospice. Lack of knowledge of family on dying patients (43.3% families and 61.2% hospice workers), low level of funding for hospices (50% families and 64.1% hospice workers) and a small number of hospices and palliative care clinics (47.1% families and 53.4% hospice workers) are the most common problems in palliative care. According to 78.8% of the families and 84.5% of the staff, a specialist of palliative medicine should work in hospice. 62.5% of the families and 75.7% of the hospice workers were convinced that a nurse with a specialization should also work in hospice. According to 92.9% of the families and 96.9% of the staff, the patient and their family receive support in hospice. Conclusions: Most of the respondents were convinced that hospice is an appropriate place for terminally ill patients. Lack of knowledge of family on dying patients, low level of funding for hospices, a small number of hospices and palliative care clinics are the most common problems in palliative care.

Using the example of a Rapid Re-Housing project, this article aims to open up a more general social-scientific debate within the context of critical discussions about ending homelessness in the Czech Republic. It at the same time seeks to refine the usage of the ‘urban assemblages’ concept in sociological and anthropological research. A Rapid Re-Housing project was piloted in Brno in 2016–2018. Its objective was to house 50 families in need of housing in municipal apartments and to provide social support in the form of intensive case management. The project included a randomised controlled trial and a qualitative evaluation. This research showed that the effects of the intervention were positive for the vast majority of indicators monitored, with some of the intervention families experiencing significant changes in their financial situation. Discussing the effects of the Brno ‘housing first assemblage’ we respond to to the reservations that have been voiced about the practice of housing First programmes. We base our responses here on empirical data and the concept of ‘relations of exteriority’ and show that even projects based on solving ‘only one component’ can initiate broader socio-material transformations of contemporary societies.

Rural poverty appears in several European regions, particularly in post-socialist countries effected by a rapid transformation of socioeconomic system. In the past decade, rural regions may have reacted to challenges of contradictory processes. Migration trends are heterogeneous; unemployment, underemployment and lack of labour power are existing problems at the same time, in the same locality. In addition, the nature of poverty has changed recently. Traditional forms of pauperization are combined with helplessness and inability for future planning and saving up. Goods and status symbols of the consumer society have high importance in families with low incomes and high debt. The aim of this paper is to describe some crucial processes triggering the transformation of family life in rural Hungary by means of a qualitative research conducted in the South Transdanubian region of Hungary. We explored the actual problems and challenges from the viewpoints of local experts (social workers and mayors) and mothers from families connected to local social systems. We also aim to examine family attitudes to labour market, services and consumption, the most important factors effecting socioeconomic conditions of deprived social groups.

“International Migration in the Age of Crisis and Globalization. Historical and Recent Experiences” represents a work of major interest in the field of migration and globalization. Apparently two concepts that relate one to another, on a background of major population dynamics, the two notions are the two important pillars in what might perfectly be described as a complex analysis of migration, starting from the elements that have initiated it, and culminating with a fine comparison of positive and negative aspects of this phenomenon. In the present paper, we acknowledge the vast “semantic” bound implied by the concept of migration. Apart from inherent aspects such as the importance of remittances, the unravelling of families or the frequently discussed brain-drain, we are presented an image of Latin America, a region dominated by contradictions, since it may well be considered as both destination region and net immigration labour force.

This article examines some of the opportunities and challenges associated with using archived qualitative data to explain macro-social change through a biographical lens. Using examples from a recent research project on family change in Ireland, I show how working across qualitative datasets provided opportunities for generating new explanations of social change by ‘reading against the grain’ of established social science narratives and tracing innovation in social practices. I also discuss some of the methodological challenges associated with working across datasets and how we addressed them in the study.

The family in the lives of people with intellectual disabilities is not only their closest and most essential social group, but often also their basic or even the only source of support in everyday life from childhood to the late old age. In a situation of adults with intellectual disabilities who start a new romantic relationship (of a formal or informal nature), the family of origin may play different roles and occupy different places in their everyday lives. The research using the phenomenographic method of qualitative research on experiences related to being in long-lasting romantic relationships conducted with adults with intellectual disabilities allowed the author to show the place of family members (parents, siblings, extended family) in their everyday lives and in their relationships with partners.

Artykuł charakteryzuje zagadnienia związane z migracjami oraz imigrantami i uchodźcami poruszane na łamach kwartalnika Journal of Immigrant and Refugee Studies w latach 2002–2013. Wszystkie artykuły z kwartalnika (264) podzieliłam na sześć części i w tym artykule przeanalizowałam cztery z nich: zdrowie psychiczne i fizyczne uchodźców i imigrantów; problemy adaptacyjne młodych imigrantów i uchodźców w domu i w szkole w kraju przyjmującym; obraz imigrantów w mediach; imigranci w krajach Trzeciego Świata. Mam nadzieję, że poruszane w artykule zagadnienia będą pomocne w zrozumieniu problemów, z jakimi borykają się imigranci i uchodźcy w kraju przyjmującym i w nowych warunkach kulturowych.

The paper describes the issues connected with migration, immigrants and refugees discussed in the pages of Journal of Immigrant and Refugee Studies in the years 2002–2013. I divided all the articles from the journal (264) into six parts and in this paper, I analyzed four of them: refugees’ and immigrants’ mental and physical health; adaptation problems among adolescent immigrants and refugees at home and at school in the host country; immigrants in the media and immigrants in Third World countries. I hope that the issues raised in the article will be helpful in understanding the problems immigrants and refugees face in the host country and in new cultural conditions.

In Québec, one of Canada’s 10 provinces, 26% of the population will be over 65 in 2031. No country can escape the new challenges and the issues resulting from population aging in different areas including that of social work with older adults and their families. This article has two objectives: a) to describe gerontological social work in non-profit organizations (NPOs) as well as in the public sector (Public Health and Social Services, PHSS); b) raise the issues and the challenges of this practice which is in constant evolution. The article first situates the context of social work in Québec, then describes gerontological social work and the issues and challenges faced in working with older adults and their families.
