Obdobie staršej dospelosti predstavuje dôležitú ľudskú skúsenosť. Poradenstvo môže prispieť k tomu, aby to bola formatívna a osobnosť rozvíjajúca skúsenosť. Poradenstvo chápeme ako takú aplikáciu osobnosti do oblasti jej konania, ktorá rozvíja jej bytie. Vychádzame z aplikácie vývinu do poradenstva a naväzujeme na prácu Úvod do poradenskej psychológie, ktorá bola publikovaná skôr. V týchto učebných textoch sme rozpracovali podrobnejšie kapitolu, poradenstvo starším dospelým. Publikovaná práca môže prispieť k porozumeniu a podpore tohto dôležitého obdobia v živote človeka.

The monograph is devoted to social support, set in the adolescent's environment. Social support can also be described as relational support from the environment in which the individual lives, and thus increases his resistance to stress and the desire to overcome life's failures and crises. It is for this reason that social support was also defined in the context of social-ecological theory. An innovation in the relationship with social support was the "Push-pull" theory, oriented to the individual's motivation. The defining anchoring of social support was built on its most famous theories. However, the greatest attention was focused on the possibilities of measuring social support, because its multidimensional measurement is necessary to determine the mechanism by which it works. The monograph therefore offered the author's validation processing and verification of psychometric properties of two separate methodologies Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) - (Zimet, Dahlem, Zimet, Farley 1988) and Social Support Survey (MOS) - (Sherbourne, Stewart 1991). The monograph results in two validation-verified separate methodologies for measuring types and sources of social support, which are reliable for use in a group of Slovak adolescents (MOS-SK and MSPSS-SK).

Here is the translation of the provided text into English: A guide to oncological treatment was created at a time when the importance of health became even more emphasized, becoming a kind of mega-value for the new modern "pandemic" human. The use of the term "pandemic" person arose, of course, in connection with the emergence of the coronavirus pandemic worldwide, but primarily because other dangerous long-term diseases that threaten contemporary humans are somehow being pushed into the background.

The severity of such diseases (including cancer) does not diminish just because attention has shifted to something more acute. It is very important to realize this and not fall under the illusion that if we overcome an acute danger, then automatically improve conditions for chronic diseases as well. We believe it's quite the opposite; prolonged stress and social negative factors constantly affecting us—among which undoubtedly includes pandemic situations—worsen not only psychological but also somatic states.

The guide to oncological treatment aims precisely at highlighting those psychological and social factors that negatively "support" cancer development in any form and can positively influence treatment and coping with illness. The guide offers opportunities for social engagement with groups of people undergoing similar oncological treatments, allowing them to share psychologically as well as professionally similar situations with those facing similar problems in treatment. The authors hope that this guidebook will reach those who will become more self-sufficient in overcoming such a formidable enemy as cancer.

Peer-reviewed proceedings of contributions from the 5th year of the doctoral students' scientific conference, February 6, 2020

The dynamically evolving contemporary society creates expectations and demands among citizens for public administration to be efficient, reliable, open, professional, and fast. New theories of knowledge, in connection with constant changes, must also include practical application and reflection of these characteristics in the public administration system in practice. For this reason, it is important to pay attention to new approaches from both theoretical and practical perspectives to the application of modern public administration in the conditions of the V4 countries.

Given that public administration is an interdisciplinary scientific discipline that utilizes knowledge from a wide range of scientific fields and thus enables a comprehensive approach to solving problems of modern public administration, the peer-reviewed proceedings of contributions from the doctoral students' scientific conference are divided into three sections: socio-economic, political science, and legal. The sections eruditely respond to current public administration problems from both theoretical and practical perspectives.

If we were to conduct a study on the popularity of subjects among social work students, the subjects of Research Methodology and Statistics would likely rank low on the list. It is precisely the lack of popularity of research methodology among students that led to the preparation of this textbook. The stylistic approach of this text was chosen with the intention of introducing the fundamentals of methodology to students encountering it for the first time, without alienating methodologists. The text primarily serves as a teaching aid for the course "Exercise in Research Methodology" and the seminars "Bachelor Thesis Seminar" and "Master's Thesis Seminar." Throughout the entire textbook, examples and case studies are interwoven and visually highlighted. The text endeavors to address the fundamental question that is key to motivating and understanding the essence of research methodology: why is research necessary for social workers? The aim of the textbook is to facilitate students' preparation for the Research Methodology course and to enhance their understanding of the basics of research methodology.

Zborník príspevkov z medzinárodnej vedeckej konferencie 16. október 2014, Košice

V polovici októbra 2014 sa uskutočnil druhý ročník konferencie Ľudský kapitál a spoločnosť, organizovaný Katedrou sociálnych štúdií Fakulty verejnej správy Univerzity P. J. Šafárika v Košiciach v spolupráci s ďalšou katedrou fakulty, a to Katedrou ekonomiky a riadenia verejnej správy. Dnes máte pred sebou zborník zahŕňajúci príspevky prednesené účastníkmi tejto konferencie. Pri jeho príprave sa editorky museli vyrovnať z rôznorodosťou profilácie účastníkov konferencie, premietajúcou sa do prístupu autorov pri spracovaní problematiky, ktorej sa venovali a následne príspevky nechať posúdiť recenzentmi z rôznych odborov. Jednotlivé príspevky sa venujú tradičným témam, ale aj novším a novým témam, reflektujúc aktuálne problémy a otázky týkajúce sa ľudského kapitálu, organizačného správania a predovšetkým, verejnej správy.

Na konferencii sa stretli výskumníci venujúci sa manažmentu, psychológii, politológii, sociálnej práci, sociológii, antropológii, jazykovede, ale aj ľudia, ktorí sa nezaraďujú iba k jednej vednej disciplíne. Bolo zaujímavé vidieť ako na ten istý jav pozerajú ľudia z rôznych disciplín. Konferencia ukázala, že interdisciplinárny prístup môže upozorniť na nedostatky identifikácie a poznania problémov len z pohľadu jednej disciplíny.

The first study, which concentrates on the characteristics of teachers' work, describes broader theoretical foundations and defines basic concepts related to work.

It also provides an analysis of the work of university teachers, identifying several shortcomings. The research findings revealed significant differences in the time demands of tasks performed by teachers and in the perceived importance of these tasks. Teachers utilize their working time fund beyond 100%, and it can be expected that the teacher population considers their tasks as rather important to definitely important. There is a relationship between the estimated time demands of certain tasks and the perceived importance of these tasks. Based on the findings, conclusions and proposals for intervention measures are formulated, and a construct of key competencies of university teachers is presented, which includes basic, social, pedagogical, research, and managerial competencies.

The second study analyzes the level of satisfaction, self-fulfillment, competencies in teachers' work, and the prestige of the teaching profession in relation to gender, academic rank, seniority, and the specific field of expertise.

The third study, which deals with the topic of teacher career, provides an overview of theoretical foundations of career.

Social work with a group, along with social work with individuals, social work with the community and social work with society, is one of the basic methods used in the field of social work, but also in other helping professions. The work of a social worker requires knowledge of these methods but also of the techniques through which these methods are implemented and fulfilled. Understanding and acquiring individual methods for the needs of social practice requires the theoretical mastery of those institutes that are the basis of the method and the interrelationships between these institutes. Therefore, the author proceeded to elaborate a university textbook in which she focuses on one of the basic methods of social work, namely social work with a group.

The university textbook is designed for university students who are focused on social work studies, but also psychology, ethics and other disciplines using the method of working with a group, as it aims to present some facts about social groups and behaviour in them.

The author offers an insight into social work with the group from its historical foundations to today's latest knowledge of this method in accordance with the latest research of work with the group.

Obdobie staršej dospelosti je aj pre psychológiu príležitosť urobiť syntézu svojej prírodovednej tradície a filozofickej tradície. Psychológia sa takto môže lepšie napojiť na mentálnu prácu ľudí žijúcich toto vekové obdobie staršej dospelosti usilujúcich v rozličnej miere o  komplexicitu vo svojom živote. Psychológia môže pomôcť tomuto úsiliu, pretože celistvosť človeka je aj programom jej rozvoja. Publikácia rozpoznáva seniora  nie len ako objekt, ale aj ako subjekt usilujúci o svoju podmetovosť na jeho celoživotnej ceste. Priatie veku hľadá svoje optimálne vyjadrenie a je možné najmä v súvsťažností psychologického a spirituálneho vývinu človeka. Psychológia staršieho človeka objavuje starobu nie ako totalitu vyraďujúcu človeka  z cyklu života, ale ako obdobie výberu pre život dôležitých domén spojených s preladením do vnútra, ktoré doceňuje pokoj. V tejto optike sa selektujú veci a javy tak aby nerušili, ale harmonizovali. To nie je odmietnutie vonkajšieho, ale rozlíšenie kedy dáva zmysel. Staroba preveruje aj spoločnosť , verejnosť, ktorá by mala odrážať úroveň procesov starostlivosti o duševno. Aby svet urobilo užitočným pre človeka, ale je aj dôvodom ako to vyjadril Patočka samotnej starostlivosti o toto duševno. Pozícia starého človeka v spoločnosti je obrazom toho akú váhu spoločnosť prikladá duševnému životu ľudí. Publikácia prináša poznatky psychologickej povahy o tomto vekovom období a v špeciálnej časti informácie okolo pomáhania a poradenstva.

Zborník príspevkov z vedeckej konferencie s medzinárodnou účasťou konanej dňa 28. 11. 2014 v Košiciach

Sociálna práca patrí medzi pomáhajúce profesie, ktoré možno považovať z rôznych hľadísk za vysoko rizikové. Klientela využívajúca sociálne služby je veľmi rozmanitá. Často ide o jedincov vo vyhrotených životných situáciách. Typické je vyhľadanie pomoci, až keď sa klient ocitá na dne. Spolu s inými faktormi to môže viesť k vzniku rôznych rizikových situácií. Zborník vznikol v rámci riešenia úlohy VEGA č. 1/0332/12 s názvom Analýza vybraných rizikových faktorov klientskeho násilia v sociálnej práci s dôrazom na prevenciu klientskeho násilia a prípravu sociálnych pracovníkov - Národné zmapovanie výskytu násilia klientov voči sociálnym pracovníkom na Slovensku. Tematické zameranie zborníka je širšie, veď klientske násilie je len jedným z mnohých rizík v sociálnej práci. V zborníku čitateľ nájde 52 článkov, ktoré sa zaoberajú rizikovosťou sociálnej práce z mnohých hľadísk. Ponúkajú zaujímavý prehľad teoretických východísk, ako aj výskumných zistení. Množstvo tematických príspevkov svedčí o tom, že problematika rizika v sociálnej práci je nanajvýš aktuálna a že sa jej venuje pozornosť v oblasti teórie aj praxe. Prepojenie týchto dvoch oblastí je pre elimináciu rizika a jeho zvládanie nevyhnutnosťou. Veď prípravu odborníkov v zmysle rôznych tréningov, vzdelávaní, či vysokoškolských predmetov realizujú aj „teoretici“. Ich východiská, okrem klasických teórií, tvoria poznatky a potreby odborníkov z praxe, ktoré sa snažia zohľadniť a zapracovať do teórie, ktorú môžu následne ponúkať vo vyššej kvalite, s aplikáciou na konkrétnu oblasť sociálnej práce. Ak sa tento cyklus podarí úspešne zavŕšiť, je spolupráca medzi teóriou a praxou určite prínosom. Som veľmi rada, že aj my sme k nej prispeli svojim malým, ale dôležitým podielom a že podobné odborné podujatia sa na pôde Katedry sociálnej práce na Filozofickej fakulte UPJŠ stávajú tradíciou.

The monograph deals with the issue of social protection of the family, where the basis is a view of the family as a natural part of human and social life. The starting point is provided by the institutes that create and structure it, influence its value orientation, the development of social relations within the family, but also relations to the social environment.

In broader contexts, the monographic treatment of social protection provides the results of transdisciplinary knowledge. It deals with the work of helping professionals with functional and non-functional families and families with special needs. It offers problem solving through tailored methods, techniques, procedures and measures used by various helping professions in the field of social protection and social guardianship.

The monograph addresses the issues surrounding functional families, dysfunctional families, and those affected by crises. It analyzes various determinants that lead to family dysfunction and identifies factors contributing to family crises and the destabilization of family relationships. Special attention is given to working with dysfunctional families, particularly through family rehabilitation, methods, forms, and procedures employed mainly by helping professionals.

Additionally, the monograph explores contemporary forms of couple cohabitation and the factors that have caused changes in this area. Families are examined from the perspective of helping professions, including psychology, sociology, adult education, health care, law, and economics. These various perspectives create a comprehensive view of the examined issues and establish a multidisciplinary space for addressing problems within the family system. A functional family is seen as the foundation of society; therefore, society must create tools to assist families that are unable to resolve issues affecting their functionality.
